As you would do when installing any type of
glass pool fencing, it’s important to take steps to ensure the installation is
done efficiently and carefully. Otherwise you risk wasting time, energy and
money on a job that might need doing all over again. Here are some tips that
will help make the process smooth and trouble-free.
Getting the Right Glass for the Job
Unlike its frameless cousin, semi frameless
glass pool fencing does not need to be quite as sturdy. You still need to get
the thickness right, however, which should be no less than 10 mm. Semi
frameless glass panels should have a maximum span of 1.6 metres in length to
guarantee stability. This provides the perfect level of protection against
accidental banging or bumping by excited children or pets, while being strong
enough to meet safety regulations adequately.
Adding Frames and Hinges
Frameless glass pool fencing features a
series of panels secured to the ground by heavy duty posts. With semi frameless
glass, however, panels are joined together at 1.6 metre intervals. Even though
thinner glass may be used, some customers prefer the extra security offered by
the semi frameless model, with frame posts giving additional support and
solidity to each panel.
Hinges need to be chosen at the same time
as the glass to make sure they are a good fit. Frames and hinges are both
available in a range of finishes and colours to help them blend in seamlessly
with glass panels and the surrounding environment.
