Clever Glass Pool Fencing Installation in Adelaide is the Ultimate Choice for Safety

An important part of owning a family pool is ensuring that the area is as safe as it can possibly be.  Stylish Glass Pool Fencing Designs in Adelaide are also the option that is most supported by  parents looking to protect their children. It is natural for parents to initially show concern about  their children in a pool, and no amount of fencing can be completely child proof. Unfortunately  drownings in family pools still occasionally occur, and it is an unthinkable tragedy. While safety  can be maximized, it takes vigilant adult supervision to ensure the prevention of pool accidents.

Glass fencing ensures maximum visibility, meaning that parents can keep an eye on their children  at all times. Metal fences will obscure areas of the pool, and a split second is all it takes for  something terrible to happen. A glass surround ensures that parents can keep an eye on their kids  anywhere from the kitchen window or the patio. Other fences could also cast a shadow over areas  of the pool which will obscure vision. It is important to note that tinted glass fencing is a popular  choice for some, but this shade does reduce visibility. While it may look aesthetically pleasing, and  might be suitable for adult homes, families with children should avoid this option and stick to clear  glass.

While regular glass items like windows and shower screens might easily shatter, pool fencing is  designed to withstand the elements and some rough handling. Parents need not worry about the  possibility of shattered glass ending up in their pool, as the glass is actually toughened and  commonly between 10 and 12 mm thick to ensure that it is incredibly durable. In fact, glass of this  thickness is tougher than aluminum.

Unfortunately, kids often play with balls and toys in the pool, and sometimes the worst does  happen and the glass will break. The good news is that pool fencing is specially designed to break  into large chunks which do not have sharp edges. This way, kids can carefully get out of the pool  without worrying about tiny shards of glass and then get a repairer in to fix the damage.

Glass is one of the hardest surfaces to climb, which makes it a very reliable option for pool  barriers, particularly to young children and family pets. The panels need to be set very close  together and near to the ground, so that there is no chance of getting a foothold. Traditional iron or  steel pool fences must also be deemed 'unclimbable' in order to abide by Australian regulations,  but there is no doubt that smooth glass is a much safer bet. Both frameless and semi framed glass  perimeters are equally safe for children. Frameless designs are fused directly to the tiles or paving  of the pool surround, so there are no gaps that toddlers might be able to crawl under.

There are strict government regulations surrounding the manufacture and installation of all pool  fencing in an attempt to combat the horrific incidence of infant drowning. All residential pools  must be adequately fenced with a barrier that is at least 1.2 metres high, has a self closing gate and  a child safety latch. Ensure that your glass fence has all of these features before agreeing to  installation. Pools should be a place of enjoyment and family fun, and with the right supervision  and safety measures, they can be.

Versatile Glass Textures in Adelaide aren't Just For Windows

Sleek, modern homes spring to mind when thinking of major glass features, but the truth is that this adaptable material can look perfect in any number of styles of home, from the traditional to the eccentric. What's more, it can be used for any number of accents throughout the home such as balustrades and Attractive Glass Furniture in Adelaide. Decorative or functional, designed to introduce light or colour, there really is no limit to the possibilities of glass in the home.   

Modern homes tend to use crystal clear glass in the form of floor to ceiling windows, or frameless balustrades to continue the clean, light theme throughout the home. Some state of the art residences are even using glass as flooring or for stylish staricases. But that isn't to say that older homes which perhaps feature darker or red woods cannot benefit from this material. Think outside of the box. Ledlighting is common in older homes and adds a unique touch. This style also notably lets in a lot less light, and so would not look out of place in naturally darker spaces.

Hammered glass is a very popular option for bathrooms, as it simultaneously lets in natural light while maintaining privacy. These textured alternatives also make cleaning a breeze, as you don't have to worry about getting that sought after streak free finish. Frosted glass might be an option to residents undergoing buiding renovations or extensions. There are some strict privacy regulations in place which will require homes overlooking neighbouring yards or windows to have obscured vision up to a certain point. You might be able to have clear glass about eye level, but frosted below.

Mirrored glass is a particularly innovative option, and is popular in bedrooms and wardrobes. Don't waste space with a stand alone cheval mirror when you can use mirrored glass as a sliding door to your wardrobe. This style is also increidbly popular in commercial settings, as it is much more useful than standard glass. Coated glass is reflective, but not to the extent of a mirror. This is a popular option for exterior windows of offices and commercial buildings which don't want passers by being able to peer inside.

Coloured/patterned glass is a clever way to spice up an interior area. When light shines through the medium, you can experiment with mixing different shades to add some vibrance to a plain white room. This example shows that the standard transparent glass is only one aspect of this very versatile material. Think about gorgeous stained glass, or combining different panels. If you are worried about glass shattering in certain areas and causing harm, then ask your glass installer about the possibility of using laminated glass which stays in one piece when cracked, much like a car windshield.

As well as a range of textures, glass can be manufactured to a range of thicknesses. Very thick, tempered glass, between 10 and 12 mm thick is ideal for outdoor fencing, either around a pool or at the edge of a balcony. This toughened glass is much more resistant to breaking when compared to standard annealed glass. Most people tend to prefer clear glass for their pool surrounds, as it is not only much safer, but also creates a beautiful pattern on the water.   

The only limit to your glass creations is your own imagination, and perhaps the ability of your glass team.
