Glass Walled Pools

At Hydrosight we distinguish between underwater windows and glass walls. A pool glass wall is a special underwater window. It is called glass wall as it replaces part of the pool sides. There is no support beam on the top, it is all transparent. The top of the window is just an exposed polished glass edge. So to keep the glass in place the window is mounted from the sides and also from the bottom.

This gives the visual impression, that there is not a wall at all: The pool water just ends vertically. You can look deep into the water from the outside without the distortions that you have on the water surface. And it is just a perfect shot for your Instagram when you see a swimmer behind the glass wall - partly submerged, partly above the water.

A glass walled is an exciting pool feature that sets your swimming pool apart from others.

Support

For Glass Walled Pools there are various types of support arrangements. Make sure you ask Hydrosight for the shell dimensions before starting construction.

Overflow

If the window top and water level meet, we obtain an overflow window. That means the water can run off the edge of the window into an overflow gutter. Then, the edge of the glass disappears completely under the overflowing water.

If the water level is lower then the top edge it is called a skimmer glass wall.

How to Install?

Planing and Preparation

For each of your window requests, Hydrosight will provide the technical drawings needed for the concrete work of the pool, i.e. the opening for the window. This allows you to plan accordingly on the installation and/or construction procedure.

In the meantime, the windows will be produced. They shall be ready for shipment just when you need them on the site.
