Underwater Window
An underwater window is a remarkable feature that brings a captivating visual element to swimming pools. Installed in the wall or floor of a pool, this transparent panel provides a unique perspective by allowing users to see through the pool structure. It offers a stunning and luxurious addition to any pool design.
Key Features
- Water Resistant – Pressure Resistant: Underwater windows are designed to be water-resistant and withstand the pressure exerted by the pool environment. They are built to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the pool.
- Swimming Pool Glass Windows: These windows replace part of the pool sides, creating a seamless and transparent effect. The absence of a support beam at the top allows for a fully transparent view. The windows are mounted from the sides and bottom to securely hold the glass in place.
- Materials: Underwater windows are typically made from specialized materials such as tempered glass, laminated glass, or acrylic plastic. Acrylic is commonly used due to its lightweight nature, strength, improved clarity, and cost-effectiveness. However, it is important to consider potential scratching of acrylic over time.
Applications
Underwater glass windows are found in various settings, including:
- Swimming Pools: From private residences to commercial establishments like hotels, resorts, and water parks, swimming pool glass windows add a touch of elegance and create an engaging visual experience.
- Aquariums and Zoos: Underwater glass windows are also used in aquariums and zoos to provide visitors with an immersive view of aquatic environments.
Window Shapes
Underwater windows come in various shapes to suit different pool designs:
- Open Top Underwater Windows: These windows can have an overflow design, allowing water to run off the edge into an overflow gutter. Alternatively, they can feature a skimmer design, where the water level is lower.
- Rectangular Underwater Windows: Rectangular-shaped windows provide a classic and sleek appearance.
- Pool Skylights (Glass Bottom or Transparent Pool Floor): Pool skylights allow natural light to penetrate the pool area, creating a stunning visual effect.
- Round Underwater Windows (Porthole Windows): Round windows offer a unique and charming aesthetic, reminiscent of traditional portholes.
