As the name suggests, a suspended pool is a pool built in the air with no other support at the bottom, which is a very eye-catching shape, so the suspended pool is generally used as a city landmark, attracting many tourists to check in.
Safety is the number one element in suspended pools, and the thickness of the pool must be carefully measured.
First of all, it should be clear that not all materials can be used to make suspended swimming pools, and acrylic is currently more commonly used, which is a kind of plastic plexiglass, which has excellent strength, hardness, and processability, and high light transmittance, so it is used as a suspended pool material.
Acrylic plate is produced by polymerization of PMMA raw materials, and there is a limit in thickness and size, at present, some manufacturers can form a plate thickness of 250 mm, and then the maximum can reach 750 mm through several plate compounds. Of course, in practice, suspended pools do not need to be so thick.
Take the more famous Shenzhen Peng Nian Shanyue Bay Entrepreneur Swimming Pool as an example, it is a typical suspended acrylic swimming pool, the bottom is fully transparent, erected on top of a high-rise building, and the pool thickness reaches 420 mm.
Pengnian swimming pool is already one of the largest suspended swimming pools in China, with high load-bearing pressure, so the thickness will be thicker, and other suspended swimming pools may not need to use such thick plates. Of course, the specific value also needs to be measured by a professional acrylic pool team on site, and the final thickness is determined according to the design.
