Are Acrylic Windows Suitable for Heated Swimming Pool

If you're planning to invest in a high-end swimming pool, you need to understand which features work well together. One of the many issues we encountered was the compatibility of window pools and heating systems. More specifically, are acrylic windows suitable for heated swimming pools?

If you're considering combining the two features, you'll need to find out whether acrylic sheets can withstand high temperatures and still offer durability. Ask the experts to make the right decision for your business.

Many of our customers choose to build acrylic window swimming pools because they look luxurious and offer many benefits. Acrylic panel pools can resist several things, including impacts, scratches, and UV rays. But can acrylic pool windows withstand the conditions of a heated pool?

Generally speaking, acrylic windows are suitable for heated swimming pools. Acrylic is used in swimming pools heated to recommended temperatures. However, due to the nature of the material and its ability to withstand heat, we do not recommend that our customers install acrylic windows on pools with higher temperatures.

For reference, acrylic pool windows can withstand temperatures up to 320°F. This is the temperature at which it starts to melt. Acrylic windows may shrink and expand slightly if the temperature of the water changes suddenly. However, this does not mean that it will permanently shrink or become permanently damaged.

Factors to consider

When acrylic walls can be used for luxury heated pools depends on several factors. With the right materials, thickness and design, they can be the perfect solution for your business luxury swimming pool.

One of the most important things is to properly install and maintain your acrylic panels. Therefore, the performance of acrylic windows in heated pool water depends largely on the quality of the material and the installation process by experts in the field.

If you choose to work with us, you can rest assured that your business investment will be in the right hands. We have over 20 years of experience in installing acrylic panels, using only high-quality acrylic panels such as Polycast, Arkema, Reynolds Polymer, etc.

Temperature resistance

The temperature resistance of acrylic sheets sometimes depends on the manufacturer. Additionally, most high-quality products are suitable for heated swimming pools.

However, when we design your pool, you should let us know that you plan to heat it. In this way, we will use the best acrylic panels to enhance the durability of your luxury swimming pool.

Swimming pool temperatures are usually maintained between 78°F and 82°F. This is within the safe heat resistance range of acrylic windows.

It's also important to note that heating systems are typically designed to achieve and maintain normal swimming pool temperatures. If you plan to use a heat pump with a maximum limit of 104°F, please notify us in advance so we can find a suitable solution for you.

Thermal Conductivity of Acrylic Windows for Swimming Pools

One of the reasons acrylic glass is recommended for hot pool environments is its thermal conductivity. Acrylic has lower thermal conductivity compared to glass, counting 0.19 W/mK.

But what does this have to do with your heated pool? Simply put, replacing glass windows with acrylic windows is likely to keep the underwater temperature consistent for longer.

By using acrylic windows, you will reduce the chance of losing water temperature. Plus, you'll get more light since acrylic windows can transmit up to 92% of light, making your pool look great.

Advantages and disadvantages of installing acrylic panels

Luxury swimming pools are a big investment, but they should be worth every penny. That’s why you need to consider all the pros and cons of acrylic sheets.

First, acrylic pool siding and windows are very durable and easy to repair. If the acrylic gets scratched, we can easily refinish and refinish it without draining the pool. Your business will save time and money on repairs.

Another benefit of using acrylic panels in heated pools is that the material is clear and transparent. Compared to glass, which can start to fade or change color, acrylic panels do not face such challenges.

What we love most about acrylic panels and windows is that they are flexible. We can create many non-traditional shapes with acrylic sheets. It will depend on your imagination and our craftsmanship.

Finally, acrylic sheets are impact resistant, protecting them from any kind of impact or pressure.

One of the biggest disadvantages of acrylic pools is that they can be expensive. However, if you weigh the durability, durability, quality of materials, and price, you'll find that it's totally worth it.

Another disadvantage is that the material can get scratched. But as we mentioned above, it can be easily repaired without affecting the functionality and longevity of the panel.

Why are transparent swimming pools made of acrylic?

Acrylic plexiglass is polymerized from methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA), that is, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) sheet plexiglass. It is a kind of plexiglass processed through a special process. It has the name "Plastic Queen" and "Plastic". It has the reputation of "crystal" and has high transparency, with a light transmittance of 92%. The physical properties of acrylic determine that it is the best choice as a transparent swimming pool material. Compared with the same thickness of acrylic organic glass and inorganic mineral glass, the impact resistance is 16 times higher. The research and development of acrylic has a history of more than 100 years. It is mainly used in large aquarium projects, large aquariums, cylindrical fish tanks, infinity swimming pools, special-shaped fish tanks in aquarium projects, etc. It also has excellent weather resistance, especially for outdoor use, ranking first among other plastics. It also has good surface hardness and gloss, and has great processing plasticity, and can be made into various required shapes and products. It is a thick plate that can still maintain high transparency.

1. Characteristics of Blue Lake acrylic

1. Colorless and transparent organic glass sheet with a light transmittance of over 92%;

2. It has strong adaptability to the natural environment. Even if it is exposed to sunlight, wind and rain for a long time, its performance will not change. It has good anti-aging performance and can be used with confidence outdoors;

7. It is light in weight and half the density of ordinary glass. The load on buildings and supports is small.

8. Strong plasticity, large shape changes, and easy processing and molding;

9. The recyclability rate is high and recognized by the increasing environmental awareness;

10. Easy to maintain and clean, it can be cleaned naturally with rainwater, or wiped with soap and soft cloth.

Due to the difficulty and high cost of acrylic production, there are many low-quality and low-cost substitutes on the market. These substitutes are also called "acrylic", but they are actually ordinary organic boards or composite boards (also known as sandwich boards). Ordinary organic boards are cast with ordinary organic glass cracking materials and pigments, and the surface hardness is
