Glass Pool Panels
The biggest, and arguably one of the most important parts of your new glass pool fence is indeed… the glass. Knowing exactly what to get and why can be a little daunting, so we have outlined below all the pool glass panels we sell and provided a very brief overview of how they fit in to your new pool fence.
If you still have any questions of course feel free to contact us directly and we can provide any further information you might need.
10mm Soft Close Pool Gates
These 10mm glass gate panels are designed to work with soft close hinges. These hinges can be adjusted to a desired closing speed, so the gate will not bang shut but close gently instead.
Soft close pool gates come in only 3 sizes unlike the slightly thinner 8mm standard gate.
1380mm Pool Glass Panels
These panels are ideal for people who require additional height on their pool fence. Like the standard 1200mm glass pool panel, they are 12mm with rounded corners for safety.
Widths range from 600mm to 1650mm, and increase by 50mm increments. The 1380mm range also offers 2 glass hinge panel options at 1000mm and 1400mm
Glass Pool Hinge Panels
Hinge panels are required when using a glass pool fence gate. The adjacent hinge panels purpose is to fit the one side of the hinge onto – so the accompanying gate can be attached on the other side, and hence swing.
Glass hinge panels can be fitted with either standard 180° hinge sets or soft close hinge sets when using a soft close glass gate. Hinge panels range in width from 800mm to 1800mm, with 100mm increments and a 1200mm height.
Raked Glass Pool Panels
Offering the same 12mm thickness and 2mm rounded corners for safety, raked (or stepped) glass panels have one point higher than the other. This creates an ‘angled’ look where you have to raise the height of the fence in a certain spot due to land constraints.
These panels are all 1200mm wide and offer varying ‘step’ heights between 1300mm and 1800mm, with 100mm increments.
Hardware Components
Although selecting and installing a glass pool fence is a relatively simple process, there are a few things to consider when making your purchasing choices. Below is an outline of the main elements that go into a glass pool fence to help give you an idea of what you will need.
Note that this list isn’t exhaustive, and we also offer a convenient 3 step quote process that does all the planning for you. But this will help give you a solid starting point for your DIY project.
Glass Pool Fence Spigots
Spigots come in a variety of styles and finishes. They are friction fitted – meaning no holes are required to be drilled into your glass for them to be attached.
Insulated Spigots
Allow for the use of spigots in areas where water is within 1.2m of the spigot. We stock the premium quality Toughcoat range. Learn more about Toughcoat Spigots here.
These specially designed spigots require no earthing and are non conductive – meaning electricity will not be conducted through the spigot. They come in both a base plate and core drill preference as above.
Glass Pool Fence Hinge Sets
Hinge sets come in a variety of configurations and finishes, depending on your needs you may require a mix of these or just the one type. In general although soft close hinge set options are more expensive, they give a more premium appearance to your fence and also offer a better experience by helping the glass gate to not forcibly bang shut when being left open.
Glass Pool Fence Clamps
Hinge sets come in a variety of configurations and finishes, depending on your needs you may require a mix of these or just the one type.
