What is Gunite Wire?
Gunite wire is a specialized steel wire that serves as a crucial guide line in shotcrete and gunite construction projects. This precision tool creates visual boundaries that help nozzlemen and finishers maintain proper material thickness and elevation throughout the application process.
Why Gunite Wire Matters
When applying shotcrete material, achieving consistent thickness is essential for structural integrity and project specifications. Our premium .035 gauge gunite wire provides the perfect balance of visibility and durability, allowing crews to:
- Maintain uniform wall thickness in pool construction
- Establish precise elevation guides for concrete surfaces
- Create clear boundary lines for critical structural elements
- Ensure proper material distribution across the entire project
The Evolution of the Industry Standard
Originally, contractors repurposed piano wire for concrete construction guidelines—a practice so effective that many experienced professionals still refer to it as “piano wire” today. Modern gunite wire maintains this heritage while offering purpose-built specifications for today’s demanding shotcrete applications.
- The Professional’s Choice
Experienced shotcrete crews understand that quality gunite wire makes the difference between acceptable work and exceptional results. Our .035 gauge steel wire provides the perfect visibility-to-strength ratio, allowing nozzlemen to focus on material placement without worrying about guide line failure during critical applications.
Trust the wire that professional shotcrete contractors depend on for projects where precision matters.
