Glass pools · Sydney

Glass wall and glass-edge pools in Sydney.

Concrete pools with glass walls, clear edges and acrylic viewing windows, engineered in house so the structure holds and the view stays open. Built across Sydney since 1968.

What we build

A clear wall is a structural job.

A glass pool is a concrete pool with the wall opened up. In place of solid concrete, a glass or acrylic panel holds the water while the shell around it is engineered to carry the load. Done properly it turns a pool into a lit sheet of water you can see through, on a view, over an edge or into an elevated pool from below.

That only works when the structure is designed for it. The panel, its fixings and the concrete around the opening all have to be engineered for the water pressure and the span. Wright Pools engineers every shell in house, which is exactly what a glass wall needs, so the clear panel is part of a sound structure rather than a decorative afterthought.

We build glass edges that drop a pool against a harbour view, acrylic windows set into rooftop and elevated pools, and clear panels that light a pool from the room beside it. For the material behind it all, see concrete vs fibreglass, and for the wider service, our residential pools.

Ways to open up the wall

Glass, three ways.

01
Glass edge
A clear panel in place of a solid wall, so the water reads against the view. Often paired with an infinity edge on a harbour or clifftop block.
02
Acrylic viewing window
A window set into the pool wall to see through the water, ideal for elevated and rooftop pools where the pool is seen from below.
03
Glass wall to a room
A clear panel between the pool and a room or entry, so the water lights the space and the two read as one piece of architecture.

Fantastic job on our Northern Beaches pool. Tight access and major sandstone excavation. The project manager had a great eye for detail and the level of finish is superb.

Frequently asked

Glass pool questions.

Can you build a swimming pool with a glass wall?
Yes. A glass wall or window is built into a reinforced concrete shell, with the structure engineered around the opening so the surrounding concrete carries the load and the glass or acrylic panel holds the water. Wright Pools engineers these in house, which is what a glass pool needs, and has built glass-edge pools and acrylic viewing windows across Sydney.
What is the difference between a glass wall, a glass edge and an acrylic window?
A glass or acrylic window is a panel set into the pool wall so you can see through the water, often on an elevated or rooftop pool. A glass edge, or a glass infinity edge, replaces a solid wall with a clear panel so the water appears to sit against a view. Both are built into a concrete shell. Larger structural panels are usually cast acrylic rather than glass because it carries the load over a wide span.
Are glass-walled pools strong and safe?
When engineered properly, yes. The panel and its fixings are designed for the water pressure and the span, and the concrete shell around the opening is reinforced to carry the load. This is structural work, not a decorative add-on, which is why we engineer every glass pool in house rather than relying on an off-the-shelf shell.
How much does a glass pool cost in Sydney?
A glass wall, glass edge or acrylic window is a premium addition on top of a concrete pool, because it adds structural engineering and a specialist panel. The cost depends on the size of the panel and the span it has to hold. It is best worked out as part of the whole build. Our cost guide explains the factors behind a concrete pool figure.
