This stunning water feature can upgrade any garden. Combine water elements with your grassy, green garden to turn it into something special and authentic. There is nothing more appealing than having a nature-rich garden!
Additionally, it is unique centrepieces like pond glass features that dramatically increase the value of your home. Glass works look expensive and are buying points for future homeowners. You can increase your asking price by thousands of pounds…

Ideas for Pond Glass Projects
- Fibreglass Framing: You can use fibreglass for a flat finish around a brick frame. This is great if you are going to be putting larger fish in the pond as it is very stable. The rendering for this project can be further away from the wall for effective insulation.
- Brickwork Framing: This is a more affordable option. The glass can be placed into the brickwork framing, with room for insulation and effective water pressure. The brick wall is built first, and then the glass is added at the end with silicone.
- Instaponds: This is a pre-built option, so you will order it and then have it fitted into your garden. It is the most straightforward of the options and is very convenient.

What Glass Should I Use?
At TuffX, we work on bespoke glass for every project. Especially when it comes to the safety, security and appearance of pond glass, every project has different requirements. We usually cut glass to the thickness of 17.5mm, 21.5mmm, 25.5mm and 33mm.
If you own larger fish or Koi fish, we can produce thicker and larger glass than for smaller projects. We ensure top-quality for every project so that it not only looks amazing but is incredibly safe as well.

Maintaining Pond Glass
Properly maintaining pond glass is important for your safety, and to ensure that the pond looks great all year long.
During winter and autumn, you should cover the top of your glass pond, so that leaves and other garden waste do not fall into the pond or scratch the glass. You should also do this when you are expecting scorching hot weather, as this can be bad for your fish.
Ensure that around the pond there are no heavy materials, pieces of equipment or garden toys that could ruin the glass if it fell onto it.
