Reputation Level:  | viewing window hi all
just wandering wether to add a viewing window to the pond, whilst im in the planning stage
they look great and my little daughter would love it, so a few things
is it specialy designed glass or normal double glassed?
does the width of glass affect the strenght needed or is it more the depth?
or has anyone got one that could give me any tips
thanks very much ben |

Give Atlantica gardens a ring, they are based in essex, I got my window and frame from him. Richard (if i remember right) is a top guy and very helpful.

Reputation Level:  | Generaly the glass is two sheets of 8mm laminated together but this does vary dependent on how large and deep the window is .
Mine are 1200mm by 550mm and about 150mm belowthe surface |

I have a business making and installing all types of windows for liner ponds or fibreglassed.
Please take a look at my website and see the quality of some of my work.
If you need a quote please use the "get frame quote" on the site.
Regards
Ian

Thoughly recommend fitting a viewing window in your pond. Its great to see the fish swimming around though the glass, even during the coldest temperatures. Though I fitted a frame I am led to understand that you do not need a frame if you are having your pond fibreglassed.
Everyone who has seen my pond commented on how good the window looks. You will not regret it, I bought my glass though a local supplier (Southend).
Regards
