When you envision a frameless glass pool fence, you might imagine its sleek, transparent panels seamlessly blending with the surroundings. But lurking behind this stunning design is an unsung hero: the spigot. This seemingly modest component is key to keeping your fence solid and your glass panels perfectly positioned—without any extra fuss.
We frequently get asked by curious customers whether they should purchase our base plate spigot, core drilled spigot or face mount spigot. So, what's the scoop on each one? Let’s dive into the details and help you choose the perfect spigot for your needs!
Difference between our Spigots
Choosing the right spigot for your frameless glass pool fence can feel like navigating a maze with all the options available—base plate spigot, core drilled spigot and face mount spigot. Each type has its own unique features and advantages, but understanding their differences can make all the difference in achieving both style and stability. We will break down the distinct characteristics of each spigot type, uncovering how they impact the look and functionality of your pool fence.
Base Plate Spigot
A base plate spigot is one of the popular options that stands out to many customers because of its versatility as they can be bolted into concrete, timber or steel. Ensuring a stable and solid foundation for your glass panels. One of its key benefits is its adaptability—it can be easily installed on various surfaces, whether it's concrete, timber or tiles, making it a flexible option for different poolside settings. Additionally, the base plate design allows for simple adjustments during installation, ensuring that your glass panels are perfectly aligned and securely held in place.
Core Drilled Spigot
Core drilled spigots are an essential component for achieving a sleek and sturdy frameless glass fencing system. These spigots are designed to be securely anchored into concrete or tiled surfaces through a core drilling process, providing a robust and stable base for 12mm glass panels. Their clean, minimalist design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your fencing but also ensures a high level of safety and durability. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts, core drilled spigots offer a professional finish with minimal hassle.
Face Mount Spigot
Face mount spigots are a popular choice for out-of-ground pools with a narrow edge. These spigots are designed to be attached directly to the surface of concrete, wood or other materials, providing a secure and stable base for glass panels. Unlike core drilled spigots, face mount spigots don’t require drilling into the material, which can simplify the installation process and reduce the potential for damage. Their modern appearance complements any outdoor setting while offering durability and ease of maintenance. Ideal for DIY projects or professional installations.
