Advice for Installing Frameless Glass Pool Fencing

To ensure that the installation of frameless glass pool fencing is a one-time only event, the following tips will enable homeowners to carry out the installation carefully and successfully.

Choosing the Dimensions of Glass

When choosing the glass pieces for frameless glass pool fencing, do not choose glass pieces with a thickness of less than 12mm. Glass pieces should have a maximum span of 1.8 metres in length. This ensures that the glass fencing will be able to withstand the weight or force of any excited children or dogs which may want to enter the pool area.

Choosing the Hinges

When buying hinges to connect the glass pieces, ensure that they are of a suitable size for the thickness of glass. Incorrectly fitting hinges can create serious problems, as it is almost impossible to drill holes in toughened glass. Pay careful attention when choosing hinges and ask your local glass pool fencing supplier for advice. The last thing you want to do is have to lug heavy glass pieces around to find matching hinges.

Get Quality Products from Trustworthy Suppliers

To avoid ending up with substandard components for your frameless glass pool fencing, ensure that the retailer offers the following:

·            An adequate level of service

·            Quality of product

·            Excellent product knowledge

·            Ability to provide a layout of the fence

·            Certification of the product

·            Availability of custom parts

·            Price listing with no hidden extras

·            After sales service and advice

This will help you in the event that a component purchased is defective, making it easier to get exchanges or refunds. Also avoid buying components for your frameless glass pool fencing from an unknown supplier offering outrageously low prices. If the price seems too good to be true, the products will probably be of an inferior quality.
