Which wall is glass suitable for?
In order to determine the thickness of the glass panels with absolute certainty, it is necessary to make a specific calculation, taking into account all design features and safety factors. TheDepth of the poolis one of the most important factors. If glass is used in shallower areas of the pool, the costs will of course be lower. On the other hand, the glass bottom of a deep pool would require a higher investment.
The higher the amount of water in the pool, the greater the load the glass has to withstand. This requires calculation by qualified professionals who can scale the pressure and determine the thickness of the glass panels. The costs for building a glass pool depend heavily on the required size and thickness of the glass elements.
Seal the glass panels
During construction, special attention should be paid to the sealing of the glass panels, the perfect alignment and leveling of the concrete structures as well as the borders and fittings. These must be made of stainless steel. All glass panels should be carefully inspected, and if any of them show signs of chips, cracks or other imperfections, it should be discarded and replaced with a new one.
