Glass balustrades are the perfect option for your balcony, stairwells, or pool fencing as they look amazing and allow you to preserve your views. However, just like you would look after any other kind of glass, you also have to look after your glass balustrades to keep them looking their best. Here’s what you need to know.

Pool fencing regulations were put into place in 1991 in response to the alarming numbers of children who were drowning in domestic pools because of the ease with which they could gain unsupervised access. Subsequent legislation in 1994 made it a requirement to update pool fences built prior to 1991. The most recent update to pool regulations was in 2012. AS 1926.1-2012 goes into detail about specifications for pool fencing, gates and other barriers to the swimming pool enclosure.

A glass balustrade is a type of balustrading material that provides a safety barrier of some sort or is used as fencing. Glass balustrades can be fully framed, semi-frameless or fully frameless and they can be made of different types of glass, such as tempered glass, safety glass, structural glass, and glass that comes in textured, solid, curved, or opaque designs.
