Glass Pool Balustrade FAQs
What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless glass fencing?
Frameless glass uses thick panels (usually 12mm) held by spigots or channels at the base, with no
visible posts between panels. Semi-frameless fencing uses thinner glass (usually 8mm or 10mm) with
posts between each panel. Frameless offers cleaner sightlines while semi-frameless is more affordable.
Does glass pool fencing meet Australian safety standards?
Yes, when installed correctly. Pool fencing must comply with AS 1926.1, which sets requirements for
height (minimum 1200mm), gap sizes, and gate operation. A licensed installer will ensure your
balustrade meets all requirements for council inspection.
How do I maintain glass pool fencing?
Regular cleaning with soapy water keeps glass looking clear. Check gate hinges and latches
periodically to ensure they self-close and latch properly. Some homeowners apply a glass
protectant to reduce water spotting and make cleaning easier.
Can a cracked glass panel be repaired?
Cracked or chipped toughened glass cannot be repaired and must be replaced entirely. Because the
glass is under tension, damage compromises its structural integrity. Contact a glass fencing
specialist promptly to arrange a replacement panel.
