What Is a 25.5mm Pond Viewing Window?

25.5mm pond glass is manufactured by laminating two panels of toughened safety glass using a high-strength interlayer. This results in a rigid panel that can withstand higher water pressure and greater structural loads than thinner glass options.
The laminated construction also provides an additional safety layer, helping to reduce the risk of sudden failure in the unlikely event of impact.

A 25.5mm pond viewing window is ideal when your pond design falls between smaller, decorative builds and deep, structural applications. It performs exceptionally well where:

  • Water depth is moderate

  • Viewing panels are wider

  • Long-term performance and strength are required

This thickness is often chosen over a 21.5mm viewing window when additional rigidity is preferred without moving into heavy-duty specifications such as 33mm or 39mm.

Recommended Panel Sizes

The performance of 25.5mm pond glass depends on panel width and depth, as well as correct support and installation methods.


Typical recommendations for 25.5mm pond viewing windows are:

  • Maximum Panel depth: up to 600mm (24 inches)

  • Maximum panel width: up to 2000mm (79 inches)


These general guidelines assume installation into a structurally sound rebate with adequate support on all sides.

25.5mm Compared With Other Pond Glass Thicknesses

Compared with 21.5mm pond glass, 25.5mm provides stronger resistance to water pressure and greater rigidity, making it suitable for larger or deeper applications.

Compared with 33mm pond viewing window glass, 25.5mm is lighter, more cost-effective, and typically chosen for most domestic koi pond builds and medium-depth installations.
Choosing the correct thickness ensures safety, durability, and long-term performance for your pond viewing window.

All 25.5mm pond viewing windows supplied by Fusion Glass Ltd are:

  • Toughened

  • Laminated

  • Heat soaked

Polished edges are included as standard for safety and aesthetics, with dubbed corners supplied as standard to minimise stress points.
This specification ensures that the glass performs reliably when installed correctly within your pond structure.
