Cantilevered Acrylic Pool and Jacuzzi Installations
Cantilevered acrylic pool and jacuzzi installations push the water out beyond its support, so it appears to hang over open air, a roof edge, a building face, a drop.
The transparent section reaching past the structure is what gives the effect its drama, and structural cell-cast PMMA is what makes it possible, holding the water while reading as almost nothing to the eye. The same engineering that carries a full cantilevered pool also delivers cantilevered jacuzzis and spas.
The cantilever is the engineering
When a transparent pool section projects beyond its support, the loads concentrate exactly where the eye expects to see nothing. This is the most demanding thing structural acrylic can be asked to do, and it is unforgiving of guesswork.
We design cantilevered installations from the support condition outward, with certified calculations for the projecting load, so the effect is dramatic and the structure is sound.
For rooftops, edges and signature features
Cantilevered acrylic pools and jacuzzis are signature features for rooftops, podium edges and architectural facades where the water needs to read as floating. From a full projecting pool to a cantilevered jacuzzi on a villa terrace, we coordinate with the building structure so the installation integrates rather than fights it.
As with every installation, every installation is backed by a 10-year leak-proof guarantee and a 30-year no-colour-change guarantee on the acrylic.
Acrylic Cantilevered Pools & Jacuzzis, frequently asked
It is a pool whose transparent section extends beyond its structural support, so the water appears to hang over open air. The projecting acrylic holds the water while reading as almost nothing.
When engineered correctly, yes. The cantilever concentrates load, so we design it from the support condition outward with certified structural calculations for the projecting span.
Yes. Rooftops and podium edges are the most common locations. We coordinate the pool with the building structure so the two work together.
Yes. A rooftop pool with glass wall edges, often called a sky pool, or an infinity pool with glass wall detailing, is one of the most requested cantilevered installations we build in Dubai. The transparent edge is engineered in structural cell-cast acrylic rather than glass, so it can project safely over the building edge while holding the full water load.
Yes. A cantilevered acrylic jacuzzi, also searched for as a glass jacuzzi or transparent jacuzzi, uses exactly the same engineering as a cantilevered pool, sized for its own water load and span. On villa terraces and rooftops it delivers the same floating-over-the-edge effect in a more compact installation.
