Why does infinity pool choose acrylic?

In recent years, the acrylic swimming pool is quite common. The acrylic swimming pool is made of acrylic extra thick plate. Because its material has good weather resistance, good surface hardness and luster, large processing plasticity and meets various required shape conditions, it has attracted more and more attention and is widely used in leisure and resort hotels Private villas, and some high-end clubs, such as boundless swimming pools and transparent swimming pools.

Acrylic has good processing performance, which can be machined and thermoformed. The acrylic extra thick plate can be seamlessly spliced by body polymerization according to the needs of the owner, whether it is processed in the factory or on the project construction site, so as to meet the specifications and dimensions required by the project. The tempered glass cannot be reprocessed, cut, or spliced. Therefore, it can not meet the requirements of a larger transparent whole board, and acrylic can achieve

1. Acrylic swimming pool panel:
Acrylic is commonly known as specially treated plexiglass, English name acrylic, chemical name polymethylmethacrylate. Its transparency and light transmittance are like glass. It is an important thermoplastic developed earlier. The acrylic swimming pool panel is spliced by an acrylic swimming pool panel.
2. Glass swimming pool panel:
Glass swimming pool panel is an amorphous inorganic nonmetallic material, which is generally made of a variety of inorganic minerals (such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc.) as the main raw materials and a small amount of auxiliary raw materials.

2、 Features:
1. Features of acrylic panel:
a. The density is light, and acrylic is a fairly light material, with a density of only 1.17 ~ 1.20g/cm ³， About half of ordinary glass, and 43% of metal aluminum.
b. The light transmittance is high, and the light transmittance of pure acrylic transparent plate is more than 90%. Similarly, with 6mm as the reference, compared with glass, the light transmittance of ordinary glass is generally 82-83%, and that of 6mm ultra-white glass is 90% – 92%.
c. Strong impact resistance, 16 times that of ordinary glass, and there is almost no risk of fracture.
d. Acrylic has excellent electrical insulation, which should be used in many electronic products, such as some very small component insulators used in tablet computers, mobile phones, computers, stereos, televisions, and other products.
e. Not afraid of dampness, water, mildew, and bacteria. Acrylic’s waterproof and moisture-proof ability is very strong. It can be used to make fish tanks and bathtubs. It can also be used to make boundless swimming pools and aquariums.
f. Acrylic has strong plasticity and can be processed into the required shape at will. Acrylic materials are lighter than ordinary glass materials, and the cutting and processing technology is not complex, so acrylic products can basically meet the customized needs of all walks of life.

2. Characteristics of glass panel:
a. It has good safety. Mesh cracks first appear during crushing, and then become small obtuse particles with smooth edges and corners, which will not cause major harm to the human body.
b. High impact strength.
c. High bending resistance.
d. It has good thermal stability and can withstand a temperature difference of about 110 degrees.

Based on the above, we can see that acrylic panels are more suitable for transparent swimming pools than light transmission, weight, resistance, flexibility, scratches, and other factors.

Over the years, with the continuous improvement of people’s quality of life, people hope to live a more peaceful and relaxed life in the limited time of leisure and vacation. As one of the greatest achievements in modern architectural design, the boundless swimming pool has become popular due to its unique charm, especially in leisure hotels, private villas, and high-end clubs. The emergence of endless swimming has changed the application mode and concept of the original swimming pool. It is no longer a carrier for people to swim, but to create a more leisure and entertainment occasion with the help of it.

The key to the design of a boundless swimming pool is to reduce the height of one or more sides of the pool edge to make the swimming pool water flow out along the pool wall. In order to build a boundless swimming pool, the design of the pool edge is the first step. Now there are two types of edge treatment design, one is the inclined type of the pool edge inside the pool, and the other is the inclined type of the pool edge outside the pool. Either way, you can create a boundless effect.

There are also two kinds of materials for the boundless swimming pool. One is concrete structure + mosaic ceramics, and the other is transparent acrylic materials. Relatively speaking, acrylic can better show the concept of a boundless swimming pool because of its transparency.
Similarly, if acrylic is selected as the edge material of the boundless swimming pool, the inclined direction of the pool is not so important. You can really hide the edge of the pool to achieve the real borderless effect.

The acrylic swimming pool has the advantages of bright appearance, strong firmness, and convenient use. The whole swimming pool is transparent and seamless, which is more beautiful and safe than the glass swimming pool.
