Swimming pools - What are the special shading requirements ?
Full height glazing to create a light airy environment can cause a problem with glare on water. Its effect on a rippled surface makes it almost impossible for the lifeguard to see a swimmer in difficulty. Shading is thus essential to eliminate this effect.
Because of the atmosphere blinds should ideally be external. If internal they should be roller blinds with an external grade fabric pvc coated fibreglass mesh material or solid acrylic awning fabric (as they are more resistant to the atmosphere than internal fabrics). Ideally manual operation should be with a sealed gearbox and cranked detachable operating rod rather than cord.
