Glass Pool Fencing Brighton

The answer to this question depends on the distinct circumstances of the pool in question, the surrounding space, and the wants and needs of the owners. Custom-made to suit the shape and size of the pool and using glass of varying thicknesses, there’s a glass pool fence option to suit every taste and budget. When using our 12mm toughened engineered glass, a metal frame is not a requirement, meaning entirely glass solutions are available. These tend to be favoured by those looking for an ultra modern look with no visual obstructions to the view from their property. A semi-frameless alternative is also available, with a series of 10mm glass panels fixed to aluminium posts, which are firmly attached to the ground. This option is also an effective way to offer a polished, sleek and contemporary finish. 100% glass solutions tend to be more expensive than semi-frameless counterparts due to the additional expense associated with extra-toughened glass. However, because it provides a much sought after look, the extra expense is often offset by the value added to your home. To get an idea of costs, let’s talk! Our team of experts will talk through your specific requirements before developing a solution to perfectly meet your needs.

Glass pool fences are known and loved for providing a low-maintenance solution for pool protection. The bulk of upkeep required simply relates to keeping the glass clean, which is more for aesthetic reasons then for functional purposes. However, this is not a complex or expensive task. Warm water and pure liquid soap applied to the glass using a sponge should be more than enough to do the job. Once the glass has been wiped clean, it can either be dried using a dishcloth or other piece of soft material, or can even be left to dry naturally. Alternatively, if you’re seeking an even lower-maintenance solution, we can apply EnduroSheild to glass. This is a coating that bonds to the substrate, protecting the glass from dirt, grime and soap scum, as well as from staining and discoloration. The effect is akin to a Teflon coating for the glass, keeping it clean at all times with no intervention required from the owner.

The short answer is yes! In fact, the exact reason they exist is to ensure the safety of you and your family. All glass used in the construction of the fence is toughened to varying degrees - either 8mm, 10mm or 12mm thick, depending on whether you’re looking for a frameless or semi-frameless solution. Toughened glass has the advantage of being virtually impossible to break. Even in the unlikely event that it is damaged, it will break into small cubed pieces rather than lots of small, jagged shards of glass, which are less likely to pose a safety hazard or cause injury. Each fence is fitted with a specific type of gate, specially designed with hinges that will ensure it remains closed at all times, and cannot accidentally be left open. As a further safety precaution, the latch used to open the gate is always positioned at a point children would find it difficult to reach. And as if that wasn’t enough to put your mind at ease, by the very nature of the glass material used to build the fences, the smoothness makes them difficult to climb.

Absolutely! Our team is committed to ensuring our designs, materials and installation practices guarantee compliance with all relevant local and Australian standards. All glass used in our fences is manufactured locally by a trusted supplier, providing a further guarantee that the quality of your fence will either meet or exceed requirements. With Ultimate Glass, you’ll therefore enjoy peace-of-mind that your new pool fence will pass with flying colours when seeking the necessary approvals from your local council or authority.

A glass fence can be installed on top of pretty much any type of surface, from tiles to concrete to paving. With specialist fixings they can even be built on timber decking, as well as lawns or areas of soil by placing concrete slabs into the ground onto which all fixings can be firmly attached.

Glass pool fences are known to provide a very low maintenance option means of protecting your family, remaining functional, safe and visually cleaning with very little effort required on the part of the owner. As mentioned above, the main ongoing upkeep is the cleaning of the glass, which will ensure it remains looking in peak condition to complement its surroundings. The frames are made from materials such as marine-grade stainless steel, or aluminium with a powder-coated finish, each of which ensure a rust-resistant solution, meaning no action is required from the owner’s perspective to protect their glass fence from the damage associated with rust.
