What's our story?

Legacy. Innovation. Clarity.

Elemental Acrylic was born from a rare combination of legacy craftsmanship and cutting-edge design. At the helm is Nick Hauk—a third-generation pool builder with water in his blood and a deep respect for form, function, and precision.

Nick began his journey in the pool industry at just 15, learning the business from the ground up under the guidance of his father and grandfather. After earning his degree from Oklahoma State University, he returned home to Celina, Texas, where he helped grow the family business from 40 pools a year to over 250. That experience shaped not only his technical expertise but his vision: to build a boutique firm that prioritizes quality over volume, and innovation over repetition.

But Nick’s story is only part of the legacy. The Hauk family name is woven into the fabric of American pool history. His grandfather, Robert George Hauk, is credited as one of the founding fathers of the modern swimming pool industry, pioneering fiberglass pool shells and helping shape standards that still exist today. That legacy, featured in Pool Magazine, is why Elemental Acrylic is trusted by architects, designers, and pool builders across the country—because we understand every angle, every challenge, and every possibility.

We exist to bridge the gap between vision reality modern pool design with acrylic, offering builders and architects peace of mind with products that are as functional as they are stunning.

Today, Elemental Acrylic specializes in the design and installation of acrylic pool windows, acrylic panels, and acrylic walls—giving shape to the most ambitious aquatic environments. We exist to bridge the gap between  vision and reality in modern pool design with acrylic, offering builders and architects peace of mind with products that are as functional as they are stunning.

Unlike traditional acrylic suppliers, we don’t just manufacture—we build. We understand the real-world logistics, site constraints, and sequencing required to integrate acrylic into high-end residential and commercial pools. That’s why some of the most respected names in the industry turn to us when their designs call for unmatched clarity and craftsmanship.

Acrylic can be intimidating. We make it seamless.
From structural acrylic pool walls to our patented acrylic bar stools that light up from within, we specialize in solving the complex. Every Elemental Acrylic feature is engineered with a builder’s mindset and an artist’s touch.

When he’s not on-site or reviewing drawings, you’ll find Nick outdoors with his wife and daughter—hiking, grilling, and quietly dreaming up what’s next.
