Thick acrylic sheets have revolutionized the design and construction of aquariums and swimming pool windows, offering unmatched clarity, strength, and versatility. Unlike traditional glass, thick acrylic sheets provide a safer, lighter, and more durable alternative, making them the preferred choice for creating stunning underwater viewing experiences. From large public aquariums to luxurious private pools, these sheets enable designers and engineers to push the boundaries of creativity and functionality. LEYU Acrylic Factory, a leader in the industry, has been at the forefront of producing high-quality thick acrylic sheets tailored for such applications, delivering exceptional products that meet rigorous international standards.

Why Choose Thick Acrylic Sheets?

Thick acrylic sheets are ideal for aquariums and pool windows due to their superior properties. Firstly, they offer exceptional optical clarity, with light transmittance rates exceeding 93%, allowing for crystal-clear views of underwater environments. This clarity is critical for aquariums, where visitors expect to see marine life in vivid detail, and for pools, where transparent walls create a luxurious, open aesthetic. LEYU Acrylic Factory uses 100% imported Lucite raw materials to ensure their thick acrylic sheets maintain this high transparency without yellowing, even after decades of exposure to water and UV light.

Secondly, thick acrylic sheets are significantly stronger and more impact-resistant than glass. They can withstand the immense water pressure exerted in deep aquariums or large infinity pools, making them a safer choice. For instance, LEYU Acrylic Factory produces sheets ranging from 20mm to an impressive 1000mm in thickness, capable of supporting massive structures like underwater tunnels or expansive pool windows. Their seamless splicing technology allows for virtually unlimited panel sizes, with one notable project featuring a flat acrylic window measuring 12,070mm long, 8,200mm high, and 560mm thick.



Additionally, thick acrylic sheets are lighter than glass, reducing transportation and installation costs. They are also more flexible, enabling the creation of curved or custom-shaped panels that enhance the aesthetic appeal of aquariums and pools. LEYU Acrylic Factory excels in thermoforming and bonding processes, crafting bespoke designs that meet the unique needs of each project, from cylindrical aquarium tanks to infinity pool walls.

Applications in Aquariums

In aquarium construction, thick acrylic sheets are indispensable for creating immersive underwater experiences. Large public aquariums, such as those in marine parks, rely on these sheets for viewing panels, tunnels, and even jellyfish tanks. LEYU Acrylic Factory has completed over 100 aquarium projects worldwide, including the production of the largest jellyfish tank in China, measuring 7.5 meters in length. Their thick acrylic sheets are engineered to withstand continuous water pressure while maintaining optical clarity, ensuring marine life is showcased in the best possible light.

The ability to produce ultra-thick acrylic sheets—up to 800mm—makes LEYU a preferred supplier for ambitious projects like underwater tunnels. These tunnels, which can stretch up to 300 meters, allow visitors to walk through a transparent corridor surrounded by marine life. The factory’s proprietary polymerization process ensures seamless joints, creating a smooth, uninterrupted surface that enhances both safety and visual appeal.



Applications in Pool Windows

Thick acrylic sheets are increasingly popular in swimming pool design, particularly for luxury hotels,

 private villas, and high-end resorts. Transparent pool walls or floors made from these sheets create a striking visual effect, giving swimmers the sensation of floating in an open ocean. LEYU Acrylic Factory has led the market in this area, supplying panels for over 100 acrylic swimming pool projects globally. Their thick acrylic sheets, ranging from 20mm to 200mm for most pool applications, are designed to handle varying water pressures based on pool depth and size.

For example, a typical infinity pool with a water depth of 0.5m to 0.8m may require a 70mm-thick acrylic sheet, as calculated by LEYU’s expert team using professional software. This precision ensures structural integrity while minimizing material costs. The factory also offers UV-resistant coatings, guaranteeing that their thick acrylic sheets remain clear and free of yellowing for up to 30 years, even in outdoor environments.
