FAQs

Toughened Glass has been put through a manufacturing process where the raw glass has been strengthened to prevent breakage. It is also commonly referred to as ‘safety glass’.

Affordable Glass Pool Fencing only uses glass that has been produced at the correct speed. Some cheap glass pool fencing and balustrading options on the market will often have a slight curve that looks unattractive when installed. This happens when the glass is produced at rapid speeds to increase production rates. Browse our range of toughened glass panels here.

At Affordable Glass Pool Fencing, our standard glass colour is Natural. This glass is clear with a slight green/black edge that is the normal result of glass production.

You may have heard of the premium “super clear” glass available on the frameless glass market. These glass sheets are clear all the way through to the edges.

Privacy Screens are a great addition to your living space if you like the idea of increasing your own privacy without compromising on natural light. However, if your balcony overlooks a neighbour’s backyard or living space, you may be required by law to install a Privacy Screen.

Privacy Screens are taller than the usual frameless glass solution such as a pool fence or balustrade, so they need additional support. Many suppliers provide this in way of a “semi frameless” or framed solutions. Affordable Glass Pool Fencing offer a unique design where we attach a slimline handrail that offers extra support while maintaining a frameless look.

In most cases you legally need a 170cm tall Privacy Screen. This is our standard size for this product. As always we are able to help you with custom privacy screen sizes.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

A Spigot is the short metal pole that holds the glass sheet above. They are essentially small “posts” that are securely drilled into poured concrete (or other material) at the base of the frameless glass pool fencing in which the glass sits. This way there is a bare-minimum obstruction and the glass panel looks as though it’s floating. Browse our extensive range of Spigots here. 

Affordable Glass Pool Fencing offers Duplex Grade 2205 Stainless Steel Spigots, suitable for all pool fencing installations. These are even better than 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Spigots. They are far superior in strength and are corrosion resistant, which is perfect for splashes of pool water and general wear in outdoor areas.

Our Spigots are stocked in three different finishes: polished, brushed and the trendy matte black anodized finish. If you’re looking for a different finished look, we will be able to help you source this.

We understand that safety is of the upmost importance, so we carefully select and inspect all of our manufacturers and suppliers. We have found that sometimes even suppliers are unaware that they are selling inferior quality, therefore we have our Spigots independently tested for extra peace of mind.
