Glass Fence Panels

There are many reasons to opt for a glass pool safety fence over classic metal or timber options. Firstly, the transparent nature of clear and tinted glass panels allows for increased visibility over the area – crucial  if you’re supervising children or pets.

Likewise, laminate glass pool balustrades are extremely robust and even if impacted, they will maintain their shape. As such, when positioned side by side, they create a safety barrier that prevents accidental access to the water, a key safeguarding feature for family households with pools, ponds and water features. On top of that, glass fence panels can also provide some protection from the elements for those swimming or lounging around the pool.

In terms of aesthetics, glass swimming pool fences offer a seamless modern finish. And there are a host of styles available, including clear and tinted panels, plus frosted privacy glass.

Finally, our glass for fences is very low-maintenance compared to wood and it won’t rust over time. It’s also easy to wipe clean and unaffected by moisture – ideal for around outdoor pools.

Glass garden fences offer a multitude of benefits for homeowners looking to enhance their outdoor space. Clear panels are particularly popular in rural areas as they allow for unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. This is great if your client’s back garden leads out onto fields or woodland, for example. Plus, they can also create a sense of openness and spaciousness in smaller gardens, while still securing your property’s boundary.

Meanwhile, frosted glass fence panels can be used to enhance privacy within your garden. For instance, to screen more intimate areas, such as around a hot tub, while still letting some light through. They’re also useful for overlooked city gardens that feel exposed without some sort of fencing, but where space and light often come at a premium. Frosted glass can also look very attractive when softly backlit at night – perfect for creating a cosy outdoor space.

Alternatively, you could integrate a glass screen complete with decorative mesh interlayer as a unique garden feature. These can also be used to define separate zones within your garden as part of a landscaping design. Or simply to create a visually appealing patio windbreak.

At abc Glass, we fabricate a range of safety glass options, including toughened and laminated glass in a range of thicknesses. If impacted to the point of breaking, toughened glass is designed to shatter into fine pieces to prevent cuts from large shards. While this is useful in many scenarios, it isn’t ideal for use around swimming pools where people may be barefoot or when a protective barrier must be maintained.

Instead, we’d recommend laminated glass for outdoor glass fence panels. This is made by sandwiching a layer of PVC between two pieces of glass and bonding them together. The result is a durable glass panel that will hold together if broken, rather than shattering into pieces. Perfect for protecting against accidents and injuries, especially where children play.

From single glass garden screens to full perimeter fencing orders, we can supply as many shatterproof laminated panels as required. This includes both frameless and framed designs, cut to size with necessary slots for fittings and smooth polished edges.

Lead times on orders are generally between 1-2 weeks, with decorative panels and those featuring multiple cutouts taking slightly longer. Once complete, you can either collect your panel from our Portsmouth factory directly. Or we can arrange free delivery to local areas across the south of England each week – see the map below to confirm your eligibility. For bulk orders, we also deliver to locations further afield.
