Glass Fencing

1. What is glass fencing?

Glass fencing is a modern, stylish fencing option that uses toughened glass panels to create an elegant and unobstructed view. It is commonly used around swimming pools, balconies, and outdoor spaces for both residential and commercial properties in Australia.

2. What are the benefits of glass fencing?

Glass fencing offers several advantages, including:

• Unobstructed views: Glass fencing provides a clear, seamless view, perfect for pool areas and scenic landscapes.
• Safety: Toughened glass is highly durable and safe, making it ideal for areas requiring compliance with safety regulations.
• Low maintenance: Glass fencing is easy to clean and requires little upkeep over time.
• Modern aesthetic: It provides a sleek, sophisticated look that enhances the appearance of any property.

3. Is glass fencing safe?

Yes, glass fencing is incredibly safe. The panels are made from toughened, safety glass, which is up to five times stronger than regular glass. In the unlikely event that the glass breaks, it will shatter into small, non-sharp fragments to prevent injury, making it compliant with Australian safety standards.

4. How much does glass fencing cost in Australia?

The cost of glass fencing varies depending on the type (frameless or semi-frameless), the height and length of the panels, and installation complexity. On average, glass fencing can range from $200 to $400 per metre installed, with frameless glass being on the higher end.

5. What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless glass fencing?

Frameless glass fencing features clear glass panels without visible frames, giving it a seamless look. Semi-frameless glass fencing has discreet posts or frames that provide additional structural support while still offering an unobstructed view. Both options provide a modern, elegant appearance, but frameless tends to be more minimalistic.

6. How do I clean and maintain glass fencing?

Glass fencing is very low maintenance. To clean it, use a soft cloth or sponge with water and a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the glass. It’s also recommended to clean glass fencing regularly to remove water spots, dirt, and dust.

7. Is glass fencing compliant with Australian pool safety regulations?

Yes, glass fencing is fully compliant with Australian pool safety regulations, provided it is installed to meet the required height and other safety standards. It’s an ideal choice for pool areas as it provides visibility while ensuring a secure, enclosed environment.

8. How long does glass fencing last?

Glass fencing is highly durable and designed to last for decades. With proper maintenance, the toughened glass panels can retain their strength and clarity for 20+ years, making it a long-term investment for your property.

9. Can glass fencing be used for more than just pool areas?

Yes, glass fencing is highly versatile. While it’s commonly used for pool fencing, it’s also ideal for balconies, outdoor decks, garden areas, and staircases. Its modern look complements a wide range of architectural styles and outdoor designs.

10. How long does it take to install glass fencing?
