Glass Pool Fencing Myths

Glass pool fencing is beautiful, stylish and a safer option than a fence that obscures the view of the pool. Yet, there are myths that persist about the safety and reliability of glass fencing. Glass may have a reputation as a fragile material. Yet, today’s technologies have ensured that glass is one of the most reliable, safest, and most durable materials to use in fencing. It is also light on maintenance.

Let’s discuss the myths surrounding glass fencing

Myth # 1 Glass Fencing is Fragile and Will Break

The material used in glass fencing is somewhat different from the glass used in your average household kitchen. The panels used in glass pool fencing are made from tempered safety glass which is subjected to the heat of a furnace. This tempering gives the glass six times more strength than standard float glass. It also means that in the unlikely event that the glass does break, it will form small harmless pebbles rather than dangerous shards.

Glass panels used in glass fencing are usually around ½ an inch thick, which ensures panel strength and durability. The mounting hardware combined with this thick and durable tempered glass gives the fence its strength. Glass fencing can withstand wind forces of up to 150 miles per hour.

Myth # 2 Glass Pool Fencing isn’t Safe

Glass pool fencing was developed with child safety in mind. It complies with state safety regulations including self-closing and locking gates. The glass ensures that you have an unobstructed view of the pool area at all times. It is impossible for children to climb over the sheer glass sides and they certainly can’t get through the small gap at the base of the fence. Rest assured your glass pool fencing is a very safe option.

Myth # 3 Glass Fencing Needs Ongoing Maintenance

Glass fencing needs little maintenance. Clean it with warm water and dishwashing liquid every couple of months to keep the glass clear. Spray the soapy water off. No other maintenance is needed.

Glass Fencing is Safe, Strong, and Easy to Maintain

We hope that by busting the myths surrounding glass fencing, you will have the confidence to consider this stylish home upgrade.
