Safety TOP 4 Benefits of Glass Pool Fencing

Pool fencing prevents children and pets from accessing the pool area unsupervised, giving homeowners peace of mind. It is also mandated as a safety measure for all commercial properties, such as apartments and hotels. Glass pool fencing has become a hot trend in recent years. In addition to its beauty, tempered glass offers unique safety benefits that make it as excellent pool safety fencing choice. Aquaview Fencing is the leader in glass pool fences across North America.

HERE THEY EXPLAIN THE TOP SAFETY BENEFITS OF GLASS POOL FENCING:

1 Tempered glass is strong and durable.

Aquaview glass pool fences are made with ½-inch-thick tempered safety glass. This glass is six times stronger than regular glass, making it nearly impossible to shatter. It is the same type of glass used for shower doors, windshields, or any other surface that could be exposed to impact. The production process is part of the same procedure used in making bulletproof glass. In the rare event of breakage, tempered safety glass breaks into small, rounded beads instead of sharp shards. Overall, Aquaview’s frameless glass pool fence system is engineered to withstand winds up to 90mph and can handle a lot of pressure. These fences are built to last a lifetime.

2. Climb-resistant panels.

The glass panels used in Aquaview’s fencing provide a slick, non-climbable surface. There are no grooves or divots for curious children to try and use as a foothold. These are available in a variety of heights to meet pool code requirements, typically 4-feet or 5-feet, depending on your state.

3. Glass gate closes and latches automatically.

The most important safety feature of any fence is the gate. Aquaview glass gates are self-closing and self-latching to ensure the pool area is always secured. Keyed latches allow the option to lock the gate when the pool is not being used. An added bonus, the gate hinges have “soft close” functionality to avoid slamming.

4. Clear views to supervise children.

Accidental drowning is the number one cause of death for children under four years old. Of these fatal accidents, about 76% occur in residential pools. While a safety barrier is incredibly important, there is no substitute for adult supervision. Young children must be supervised at all times when playing in or near the pool. This is one area where glass fencing clearly outshines the competition. The transparent panels are nearly invisible, allowing clear views of all activities in and around the pool so you can supervise at all times.
