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.
