Underwater Window Diving Pool - Glass Walled Pool

At LEYU, we distinguish between underwater windows diving pool and glass walled pool.

A pool glass wall is a special underwater windows diving pool. It is called glass wall as it replaces part of the pool sides. There is no support beam on the top, it is all transparent. The top of the window is just an exposed polished glass edge. So to keep the glass in place the window is mounted from the sides and also from the bottom.

This gives the visual impression, that there is not a wall at all: The pool water just ends vertically. You can look deep into the water from the outside without the distortions that you have on the water surface. And it is just a perfect shot for your Instagram when you see a swimmer behind the glass wall - partly submerged, partly above the water.

A glass walled is an exciting pool feature that sets your swimming pool apart from others.

Why is it said that the Leyu team is an acrylic swimming pool manufacturer and expert in swimming pool construction?

Leyu is a factory specializing in the production of acrylic sheets, using liquid raw materials from Mitsubishi in Japan, using the casting process to produce acrylic panels.

The thickness of the acrylic panel is between 20mm and 800mm, and the maximum surface of the acrylic panel is 10000mmX3000mm. If you need a larger acrylic panel, we can splice it together seamlessly.

Acrylic glass pool walls use acrylic panels with a thickness of 50mm-200mm.

The thickness of the acrylic plate in the acrylic glass swimming pool depends on the water level of the pool, the deeper the water level, the thicker the acrylic plate thickness. In addition to scientific calculation, Leyu Acrylic Factory also has rich experience in the calculation of acrylic sheet thickness.

Advantages and requirements of a transparent Acrylic swimming pool

This type of swimming pool is gaining popularity, not only for private use, but also for creating unique and exclusive spaces in hotels, spas, campsites, residential developments and similar environments.

Its infinite design options make it possible to create a completely personalized transparent acrylic pool adapted to the space where it is to be installed.

The transparent materials offer a unique experience which increases the attractiveness of the swimming pool, both for its direct use and also for the environment in which it is located, enhancing a pool terrace or bar, for example, for those who want to relax beside an architectural project of this kind.

On a practical level, the glass or acrylic pools are highly resistant to impact and chemical corrosion and have maximum durability so they can be installed both indoors and outdoors.

Design recommendations

The acrylic pools are even more attractive if they are located in prime settings, where owners or clients can admire the natural surroundings.

Suspended in the air with different elements of water and lights, it includes two different levels and offers a visual and relaxing experience like no other.

But aerial installation is not the only recommended option for these pools. The transparency of their construction also offers very good results when it can be admired from the outside at lower levels.

A swimming pool that can be admired from a restaurant on the floor below, or even from a lower room in a house, are creative and eye-catching solutions that offer not only endless possibilities but also an element of surprise for guests and users.

The care taken in the design and installation is equally as important as other accessories that emphasise the style of these pools. Waterfall showers, or other water features, help to enhance the exclusivity of these pools.

We also suggest choosing original finishes. For example, overflowing acrylic pools, in which we merge the transparency of their design with the ‘infinity’ sensation, are very attractive options in any project.

Which is better acrylic swimming pool or glass swimming pool

Swimming pools are a popular choice for recreational activities and relaxation. When it comes to choosing between an acrylic swimming pool and a glass swimming pool, various factors need to be considered. This essay will compare the two options based on their features, maintenance requirements, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

Acrylic has stronger plasticity than glass

Acrylic swimming pools offer several advantages in terms of features. They provide excellent transparency, allowing swimmers to enjoy clear views underwater. Additionally, acrylic is known for its flexibility in design possibilities due to its moldable nature.

The glass swimming pool also provides excellent clarity, but there are many straight glass plates, which are not highly plastic and cannot be shaped arbitrarily. Glass has limited design choices due to its rigidity.

Acrylic swimming pools are stronger and more durable than glass swimming pools

Durability is an essential factor when considering long-term investments like swimming pools. Acrylic has proven durability over time as it is highly resistant to cracking or shattering under normal conditions. It can withstand extreme temperatures without compromising structural integrity significantly.

Glass also possesses good durability; however, it may be more prone to breakage if subjected to impact or sudden temperature changes.

Comparison of investment benefits

Cost effectiveness is often an important consideration when deciding on the different materials for building a swimming pool.

Compared to glass, acrylic acid has a higher price in the early stages of investment compared to glass. However, the sturdy performance of acrylic allows acrylic swimming pools to be used for decades. Considering the long-term investment, the investment cost of acrylic swimming pools is lower than that of glass swimming pools.

Conclusion:

In short, both acrylic and glass have their unique qualities when building swimming pools.

Acrylic swimming pool, sturdy and durable, with high transparency, strong plasticity, and UV resistance, is the preferred choice for large swimming pools.

Ultimately, the choice of these two materials depends on personal preferences, budget constraints, and specific project requirements.

How thick is an acrylic pool wall?

What is the minimum wall thickness for a swimming pool?

The calculation conditions for the thickness of acrylic pool walls: 

Based on the depth of the water level in the swimming pool, whether the acrylic panels are curved or flat, and the number and position of acrylic walls required, Leyu has 27 years of calculation experience. Based on your design plan, Leyu will calculate the pressure on the acrylic wall to calculate the thickness of the acrylic wall. The thickness of the walls of acrylic swimming pools is generally between 50mm-160mm. If acrylic panels are used at the bottom of the swimming pool, the thickness of the acrylic panels may be over 200mm depending on the depth of the water level.
