How thick should acrylic panel be for a pool wall?
In order to the safety of the pool and the tourists' good experience, it is very important to choose the right acrylic sheet thickness.
Why do different acrylic pool wall thicknesses have different choices? Each acrylic pool has a unique design and varies in size. Therefore, there are different thickness materials on the market that can meet the requirements of the pool. We ensure the strength and structural integrity of the entire pool by choosing the right thickness. The thickness of acrylic sheet produced by Leyu Acrylic is 20-800mm, which can meet your various design needs
Scientific calculation of acrylic swimming pool wall thickness
We can use a variety of methods to calculate the thickness of the acrylic pool wall we should use. We always let experienced designers and engineers do the calculations. They use computer programs and formulas to determine which panels we should install in your pool.
Factors affecting the wall thickness of acrylic swimming pool
We use the best design and engineering practices to build acrylic pool walls. In terms of the thickness of the acrylic wall alone, we took several factors into account.
Pool size
The size of the pool is the first factor affecting the thickness of the panel. Each pool has a unique hydrostatic pressure, which depends on the density of the water and the depth of the pool. There are two kinds of water pressure in the pool: one is the water pressure from the inside, and the other, called buoyancy, comes from the outside of the pool.
As a rule of thumb, we use thicker acrylic walls when building larger pools, as they tend to increase water pressure. The thicker acrylic walls prevent the acrylic material from deforming and other structural problems that can result from water pressure. On the other hand, smaller pools can be fitted with thinner pool walls.
However, if you want a large pool with acrylic walls, you don't have to worry. The acrylic panel has no size limit because it is easy to manufacture.
Pool type
One of the benefits of acrylic pool walls is that they can be used in both underground and above-ground pools. In general, above-ground pools require thicker acrylic pool boards than underground pools.
Design and pressure points
The design and topography of the pool are also very important factors. Based on the design of the pool and the characteristics of the location where the pool is built, we will determine if there are specific pressure points that require thicker walls.
In addition, we must address weather conditions, soil stability and seismic activity. If the area you want to have a pool is located in an area prone to extreme weather and seismic activity, we will have to install thicker pool walls to increase resiliency.
In addition, if the pool has a complex curved design, thicker walls may be required. If you want a pool with a complex shape, we assess the thickness of plexiglass or acrylic based on the unique shape and features to ensure quality.
The importance of selecting the correct pool wall thickness
So, how does the wall thickness of the acrylic swimming pool affect the durability? The thickness of acrylic is not just a technical measurement that we consider as builders. In fact, this is a very important detail that can greatly affect the durability, safety, and overall performance of your pool.
When designing pools with clients, we scientifically calculate the ideal thickness of acrylic walls. Leyu Acrylic focus on the pool market for more than 20 years, to undertake more than 100 pool projects, committed to ensure the safety and stability of each project, let customers rest assured is our purpose.
The appropriate thickness of the acrylic sheet can enhance the impact resistance of the pool. As a result, acrylic panels can withstand unexpected collisions and harsh weather conditions. For challenging environments, thicker acrylic pool walls are always recommended.
On top of that, using the right acrylic wall thickness may extend the life of your pool. If built correctly with the right materials, the pool may require less maintenance and repair. Leyu Acrylic will continue to consider for customers, we are committed to creating the greatest value for customers, but also to promote our own success, to achieve a win-win goal.
Acrylic Pool Maintenance Tips
1. Regular Cleaning:
Acrylic pools require regular cleaning to prevent the build-up of algae and debris. Use a pool vacuum or pool sweeper to remove any debris from the pool surface, and scrub the pool walls and floors with a soft-bristled brush.
2. Proper chemical balance:
Maintain proper chlorine and pH to prevent algae and bacterial growth. Test the water regularly and add necessary chemicals as needed.
3. Avoid using abrasive cleaners:
Acrylic is a soft material and can be scratched easily, so avoid using abrasive or harsh cleaning products. Use only products specifically designed for acrylic pools.
4. UV Protection:
Acrylic can be damaged by UV rays, so it is important to protect the pool surface from the sun with a pool cover or UV protection pool chemicals.
5. Regular inspection:
Regularly check the pool for cracks, leaks or other damage, and repair it in time to prevent further damage.
What temperature can acrylic withstand?
It can be used continuously in a temperature range of 170-190°F. It begins to soften between 210-220°F and starts to melt between 300-315°F. Acrylic sheet can withstand temperatures down to -20°F without noticeable changes in properties.
When it comes to outdoor projects, the durability and elasticity of materials are of the utmost importance. One of the problems we often encounter is the weatherability of transparent acrylic sheets
Understand the properties of clear acrylic: Clear acrylic is a popular choice for outdoor applications such as shed Windows and greenhouses. One of its outstanding features is its strong resistance to various weather conditions. But how does it cross Long term?
1. Excellent weather resistance:
Unlike many general purpose plastics, acrylic has an impressive resistance to environmental factors. It can withstand high levels of ultraviolet light, the salinity of seawater spray and drastic temperature changes - all without showing signs of wear such as breaking, fogging or tarnishing.
2. Longevity:
Another benefit of using clear acrylic resin is its longevity. Not only is it durable, but it can remain intact outdoors for up to 30 years. This makes it a major material for the garden structure, reflecting the beauty of the glass but without the sensitivity of mildew, moss and other blemishes that can damage the surface of the glass over time
3. Color change:
Although transparent acrylic is known for its elasticity, it is worth noting that the properties of colored acrylic change slightly Different. While colored acrylic is still durable and strong, it may show signs of wear more quickly after prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. However, its vitality and ability to resist dirt and mold are still commendable.
The bottom line:
Clear acrylic offers an unmatched combination of clarity, beauty and durability, making it ideal for outdoor applications.

Why Acrylic panel for acrylic pool windows but not glass ?
First of all, the impact resistance of acrylic is 100 times that of glass,
16 times that of tempered glass, and the thickness of acrylic sheet can reach more than 800mm, and the safety factor is multiplied. Swimming pools need to withstand dynamic pressure and wind pressure caused by water pressure, flow of people, waves, etc. This pressure is dynamic and uncontrollable. As a flexible polymer material, acrylic has excellent strength and toughness, resistance to bending and breaking. It is well suited to this complex stress environment. Tempered glass is brittle and faces complex pressure environments. Coupled with a series of outdoor environmental effects such as sunlight, climate, and temperature difference, the probability of nickel sulfide crystal expansion increases, which will increase the risk of self-explosion.
Secondly, the light transmittance of acrylic is better, the light transmittance of general glass is 82-89%,
and the best ultra-white glass can only reach 89%. The light transmittance of acrylic is as high as 93%. The optical sights and high-precision optical lenses of many cutting-edge weapons are now made of acrylic. Acrylic is used for transparent swimming pools, aquariums and aquarium projects. The transparent viewing surface has soft light and gorgeous visual effects. Therefore, acrylic swimming pools are also widely used in some high-end residential areas, hotels and other places
Third, acrylic also has good processing properties,
can be machined and thermoformed, through the injection of special formula of the stock solution, can be seamlessly splicing on the spot, can meet the requirements of the larger size of the transparent overall panel, and is not affected by transportation and space conditions. But tempered glass can not be processed, cut and spliced. The maximum size of tempered glass can reach 6.8m*2.5m. However, it cannot be seamlessly spliced like acrylic, so it cannot meet the requirements of a larger transparent whole board.
