Considerations While glass pools are certainly a stunning addition to any property, it’s important to consider safety, privacy, and durability when designing these high-end features. Safety Glass wall pools utilize acrylic glass, which is a stronger, more durable alternative to traditional glass. With an impact strength 10 to 20 times greater than regular glass, acrylic is safer for swimmers while enhancing pool longevity. Additionally, acrylic allows for up to 92% light transmission, ensuring a clear, unobstructed view while maintaining safety. Strength & Durability Acrylic is not only impact-resistant but also lighter than glass, making it easier to handle and install. However, while its strength is unmatched, acrylic can be more prone to scratching. To maintain its clarity and longevity, many manufacturers apply scratch-resistant coatings. Non-Slip Surfaces To further ensure safety, high-quality glass wall swimming pools incorporate non-slip flooring around the pool. Textured tiles, rubberized coatings, and special sealants help prevent slips and falls, enhancing safety for everyone using the pool. Privacy For those seeking added privacy, glass panels can be frosted or tinted to reduce visibility without compromising the pool’s aesthetic appeal. Additional privacy solutions, such as shading structures or privacy panels, can be integrated into the design for a more secluded, yet still luxurious, experience.
