Why are infinity swimming pools often designed with acrylic?

Ultra-high light transmittance, excellent visual effect

Acrylic's light transmittance reaches over 92%, making it clearer than ordinary glass and giving the pool water a truly crystal-clear look. Infinity pools strive for a natural fusion of the water surface with the vista, and acrylic perfectly achieves the visual effect of an "extension of the water surface," creating a feel of the pool floating in mid-air. Lanhu Aquarium Engineering utilizes acrylic to create transparent walls in many of its infinity pool designs, resulting in stunning visual effects.

Lightweight design, more flexible construction

Acrylic is approximately half the weight of tempered glass, making even large-sized pool panels easy to transport and install. For rooftop, sky swimming pool, or villa swimming pool projects, using acrylic effectively reduces structural loads and eases construction complexity. Lanhu Aquarium Engineering, with its extensive experience, can tailor acrylic thickness to the building structure, ensuring both safety and aesthetics.

High safety and strong impact resistance

Infinity pools often feature high-drop designs, with safety being a primary consideration. Acrylic is known for its toughness, so even when impacted, it won't shatter into sharp fragments like glass, providing greater protection for pool users.

Free shape to meet personalized design

Acrylic is easy to process and can be used to create curved, arc-shaped, and even irregular pool walls, offering endless possibilities for infinity pool design. Lanhu leveraged the plasticity of acrylic in its design, seamlessly integrating the pool with the architecture and landscape to create the one and the only visual experience.

The end

Infinity pools strive for the ultimate visual and safety experience, and acrylic offers distinct advantages in light transmittance, lightweight construction, impact resistance, and design freedom. Through professional construction, Lanhu ensures that each acrylic infinity pool is both safe and reliable, yet strikingly beautiful, becoming a dazzling work of art in any space.
