Is Glass a Safe Option?
This is a question we are often asked at Crystal Glassbuild being a leading supplier and installer of quality pool fencing on the Gold Coast. A toughened safety glass pool fence is an excellent choice, particularly for children due to its smooth surfaces making it difficult to climb. With small gaps beneath and in-between panels it also means it is hard for anything to squeeze through. The glass panels also help you to keep a watchful eye on younger members of the family more easily.
The toughened safety glass with a thickness between 10-12mm is very difficult to break and in the unlikelihood that it should, it fragments into small pieces with no sharp edges. In Australia all glass pool fences along with the installers have to comply with strict safety regulations, and any new pool fence has to be inspected to confirm adherence to the guidelines.
