Why use thick acrylic to build a transparent sky swimming pool?

As a dazzling star in modern architectural design, acrylic transparent swimming pools are widely used in leisure resort hotels, private villas, and high-end clubs because of their irreproducible charm. Then why should thick acrylic be used for the construction of an acrylic-transparent swimming pool?

The impact resistance of the first acrylic is very strong—100 times that of glass and 16 times that of tempered glass. The swimming pool needs to bear the water pressure, the pressure caused by the flow of people and waves, and the wind pressure; this pressure is dynamic and uncontrollable. As a flexible polymer material, acrylic has excellent toughness and resistance to bending fracture, which is very suitable for this complex stress environment.

The light transmittance of the second acrylic is very good, and the light transmittance of general glass is 82% to 89%. The best ultra-white glass can only reach 89%, and the light transmittance of acrylic is as high as 95%. Nowadays, the optical sights and high-precision optical lenses of many cutting-edge weapons are made of acrylic. The transparent viewing surface of the acrylic swimming pool has soft light transmission and very gorgeous visual effects.

The third acrylic also has good processing performance; it can be machined and thermoformed and can be seamlessly spliced ​​on site by injecting special formula stock solution; it can meet the requirements of larger transparent whole boards, and is not affected by transportation and space conditions.

For example, in the infinity swimming pool of Sanya Atlantis Hotel, the 26-meter-long transparent viewing surface is made of two pieces of 13-meter-long acrylic splicing, the seams are invisible, and the strength and physical properties are consistent with the original plates;

Acrylic has been used in the transparent swimming pool industry for 30 years. The technology is mature, and the performance is stable. The large-scale transparent swimming pool projects in the world are all built with thick plate acrylic, without exception.
