Hydroview© WindowsHigh quality underwater windows of type Hydroview™ are produced up to a maximum size of about 3m by 2m. Windows extending these dimensions are offered by Hydrosight in the "custom" category. All our windows use Plexiglas™, which is of unique structural strenght. The thickness of each window block is indiviually adapted to the water depth condition given by the client and might vary between 30 and 100mm. The window frame is the made of marine grade stainless steel of type V4A / 316L and produced according to industrial quality standards. Its design leaves room for the window‘s thermal expansion, while maintaining absolute waterproofness between window block and wall. Hydroview is prefabricated in such a way that any pool builder can install it without special expertise. Our Hydroview window makes it comfortable, secure and easy to install pool windows. |

The particular design of the underwater window depends mostly on the type of
pool finish

Underwater Windows for Fitted Foil Pools and PondsPools with a vinyl liner finish are popular as they are often well priced. They are frequently used for outdoor in northern countries (Germany, Benelux, Scandinavia), where frost is a problem for tiled pools. If you plan a pool like this do not forget to mention it on your underwater window request.  Tiles or Pool Liner?

Round Underwater WindowsA Round underwater window resembles the standard Hydroview window, but is circular like a porthole. Clear view diameter 70cm up to 180cm possible. Round windows give a nice maritime touch, but are also more difficult to build and therefore more costly. |
