Glass fencing has become very popular among pool owners and for good reason. It meets the regulatory requirements to enclose your pool, and it won’t obscure your view or create obvious divisions in your garden.
You can choose from two basic types of glass pool fencing, framed and frameless glass fencing. Both will give you a clear view of your pool, so you can keep an eye on the children from the comfort of your lounge, patio, or deck.
Cost and Visibility
Frameless glass fencing is usually more expensive than framed fencing. The additional cost arises from the more sophisticated fastening mechanism. Glass spigots planted into concrete hold the glass panes. The installation of these spigots is labor intensive, increasing costs. Frameless glass panes are also thicker at ½ an inch.
Frameless glass does, however, offer a completely seamless view of your garden and pool area, unobstructed by any frames.
Safety and Security
Framed and frameless glass pool fencing both offer the same level of safety. Frameless glass is thicker, but the aluminum frame gives the framed glass fencing extra strength and rigidity. Glass fences will stand up to the worst the weather can throw at them. If by chance, a glass pane does break, it will break into small harmless blocks rather than shards.
The fences are also childproof. Unlike a traditional fence, there are no footholds that curious children can use to climb over the fence. It is also not possible for anyone to get under the fence. All glass pool fences have self-closing gates as required by law.
An Investment in Your Property
Increase the value of your property when you invest in beautiful glass fencing. Glass fences are easy to clean and maintain and they last for years with no replacement or repairs required.
