Frequently Asked Questions
Is frameless glass pool fencing safe for families with children?
Yes, frameless glass pool fencing is considered one of the safest and most secure pool barrier options available, especially for families with children. It uses toughened safety glass that’s typically 10mm to 12mm thick and engineered to resist high impact. These panels are fixed in place using stainless steel spigots or channels, offering a strong, rigid structure that doesn’t allow climbing. Unlike traditional fencing, the smooth glass surface eliminates footholds and gaps, reducing the risk of accidents. Frameless glass fences must also comply with Australian Standard AS1926, which sets strict guidelines around height, gate latch placement, and spacing to prevent children from gaining unsupervised access to the pool area.
Do frameless glass balustrades meet Australian safety regulations?
Yes, all frameless glass balustrades installed in Australia must comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and the relevant Australian Standard, usually AS1288 and AS1170. These standards cover everything from the type and thickness of the glass to load-bearing requirements and installation practices. For instance, any balustrade protecting a fall greater than one metre must use laminated or toughened glass and be installed with secure, non-climbable fixings. Compliance ensures the balustrade can withstand everyday use as well as sudden force, such as someone leaning or falling against it. When professionally installed, frameless balustrades not only meet code but often exceed the minimum safety thresholds.
Can frameless glass balustrades be installed on stairs or sloping surfaces?
Yes, frameless glass balustrades can be installed on staircases and sloping surfaces with proper planning and custom-fit glass panels. Installers will usually use angled or raked panels that follow the pitch of the stairs or slope to maintain a consistent handrail height and comply with safety codes. Specialised mounting hardware, such as adjustable stainless steel spigots or standoff bolts, allow for precise positioning to accommodate uneven surfaces. Measuring and manufacturing must be accurate to avoid gaps or uneven spacing, especially on stair treads. When done correctly, the result is a sleek, continuous glass barrier that maintains safety while enhancing the openness of the area.
