How to Choose the Right Glass Thickness
Choosing the correct thickness for your pond window is essential to ensure safety, durability, and optimal viewing experience. The ideal thickness depends primarily on the depth, size, and pressure your pond will exert on the glass. Below is a guideline to help you make an informed decision:
-
21.5mm : Designed for ponds up to 400mm (16 inches) deep and up to 1600mm (63 inches) wide. Suitable for shallow or smaller ponds where lower pressure is expected.
-
25.5mm : Suitable for ponds up to 600mm (24 inches) deep and up to 2000mm (79 inches) wide. Complies with moderate pond depths and larger viewing areas.
-
33mm : Ideal for ponds up to 1000mm (39 inches) deep and around 2000mm (79 inches) wide. Offers increased strength for deeper ponds and larger glass panels.
-
39mm : Suitable for ponds up to 1000mm (39 inches) deep and up to 3000mm (118 inches) wide, providing maximum strength for substantial depths and sizes.
-
44.5mm : Recommended for ponds up to 1200mm (47 inches) deep and up to 3500mm (138 inches) wide. This thickness ensures safety and durability for large, deep water features.
Additional Recommendations
-
Rebate System: To achieve a sleek, flush finish, we recommend fitting your glass with a rebate system. This allows the glass to sit securely within the pond structure and creates a smooth edge that works well with pond liners.
-
Consultation & Professional Installation: While these guidelines provide a reliable starting point, we strongly advise consulting a professional for precise measurements and installation to ensure safety and longevity. Incorrect fitting or measurements could compromise the integrity of the pond window.
-
Safety Considerations: Always prioritize safety, especially for larger or deeper ponds. Laminated toughened glass is designed to withstand pressure, but proper installation is crucial to prevent breakage or accidents.
By following these guidelines and consulting with experts, you can select the perfect pond window thickness for a safe, beautiful, and functional pond feature.
How to Fit Your Pond Viewing Window – Expert Advice from Fusion Glass Ltd.
At Fusion Glass Ltd., we provide comprehensive guidance to help you achieve a professional, watertight pond glass installation that enhances the beauty and function of your water feature. Here are some of the most effective methods for fitting your pond viewing window, whether you’re working with brickwork or a fibreglass frame.
Brickwork Installation for Pond Glass
Installing pond glass into brickwork is a cost-effective and reliable approach. The process involves creating a 45mm rebate in the brick or sleeper structure on the pond’s interior. This rebate matches the thickness of your pond glass, and water pressure will naturally hold the glass securely against it once the pond is filled.
Preparation:
Ensure to cut the brick or sleeper blocks before laying, leaving an extra 5mm in height for spacers that support the glass.
Building the Rebate:
Your brickwork should form a recess approximately 6-10mm larger than the exact size of your pond glass, providing a 3-5mm gap around it. This gap will be filled with silicone to form a waterproof seal. Wait until all mortar or cement has fully cured before fitting the glass.
Rebate Illustration:

-
Rebate Placement: Cut into the pond’s interior side to ensure water pressure keeps the glass in place.
-
Adhesive Application: Applied all around the edge to maintain a strong seal and prevent leaks
Fitting the Glass:
Use packers underneath to keep the glass level. Clamp it into place temporarily, then fill the gap with silicone sealant. Once cured, apply a smooth render or plaster across the brickwork for a neat finish.
Preparing the Liner:
Mask off around 40mm from the edges of the glass on all sides where the liner will sit. When fitting the liner, it should sit flat against the glass and brickwork without creases or gaps, which are critical to prevent water pressure from dislodging it. Mark the liner where the masking tape is applied, then cut accordingly.
Sealing and Finishing:
Apply a bead of silicone around the edges of the glass. Carefully press the liner onto the silicone, using the masked edge as a guide, and leave a small amount of excess liner. Run your finger along the edge to ensure a smooth, neat finish, then remove the masking tape.

Using a Fibreglass Frame with Pond Glass
Another professional option involves installing a fibreglass frame into a drilled opening in the brickwork. Render around the frame for a smooth, flush finish, then fix it securely using four screws for added stability. Insulation, such as a 1-inch Kingspan board, can be added for a more polished, flush appearance.
The fibreglass liner is applied inside the pond, covering the frame, with the pond glass siliconed into the frame for a secure fit.
