Glass pool fences use toughened glass panels held together by posts or specially designed clamps made of stainless steel or aluminium. More pool owners are opting for glass fencing solutions for many reasons. First, glass fences look attractive in a minimalistic and elegant way. Secondly, glass pool fencing comply with Australian laws on pool and spa safety. Furthermore, having a glass fence installed around your pool is sure to mark up the value of your property.

It is clear why the use of glass in pool fencing continues to grow more popular today. Glass fencing looks very attractive and does nothing but enhance its surroundings wherever it is installed. Pool owners are worry-free and given maximum enjoyment with glass fences. Keeping children safe and supervising their activities by the poolside is made a much easier task if the pool is enclosed in a glass fence.

Glass Pool Fencing Safety And Security

Some people may still doubt if glass fencing is tough and durable enough to meet government requirements on pool safety. More pool owners have since discovered that glass pool fences are tough, durable, and government approved. Specially designed toughened safety glass that does not break easily is used for pool fences. You have the option to choose from thicknesses of 8mm, 10mm, or 12mm.

Glass panels of a safety pool fence are held securely in place by either of three methods: channel fixing, spigot fixing, and standoff fixing. The glass pool fence will stay firmly in place without any possibility of moving out of place. With the help of professional installers, glass fences can be constructed to comply with the strictest council regulations and overall Australian safety standards.

Glass Fencing Suitable For Most Floor Surfaces

Glass fencing may be installed whether your poolside is composed of concrete, ceramic tiles, timber, and a wide range of floor surfaces.  For concrete and tiles, the most common floor finishing for the poolside, all that needs to be done is to drill out holes and apply special cement-based grout to position the metal posts securely. The process is a little more complex if you are building glass fencing on timber decking. Special bases attached to posts are needed specifically for this installation.

Glass fences may also be set up on lawns and garden beds. The process is pretty simple, involving the use of concrete pads and applying the installation method for concrete flooring.

Glass fencing makes an incredible addition to your pool but if you wish for something more unique and can afford it, there are quite a few decorative options available for glass pool fencing worth considering. Some pool owners choose coloured glass panels for their safety barriers. You can seek out contractors that offer this kind of service if you prefer your glass fence to be in any particular colour. For some privacy, panels may be coated with frosted sheets to make glass look translucent. Another way to further beautify glass pool fences is through the installation of lights or lamps for great viewing at night.
