Glass pool fencing vs. Traditional pool fencing

Welcome to Assured Glass Fencings second blog post where we will examine the different types of pool fencing and the many benefits and disadvantages they each have.
Pool fencing comes in a wide variety of different materials but the most common on the market are;

•    Glass
•    Colorbond Steel
•    Aluminium
•    Chain Link
•    Wood

This article will examine what each of these pool fencing types offers customers and some of the disadvantages they inherently possess.

Glass

Glass pool fencing comes in a variety of styles from framed and semi-framed to fully frameless glass pool fencing. Glass fencing is a modern and stylish choice that suits most existing style aesthetics and will add value to your home. Here are some of the benefits of glass pool fencing;

•    Uninterrupted views
•    Easily maintained
•    Durable and strong
•    Beautiful and complimentary

The only real disadvantage of glass fencing for your pool area is if you are on a budget and can’t afford the supply and installation costs. The advantage of glass fencing is that every dollar you spend on glass pool fencing is a dollar earned with the potential resale of your home.

Colorbond Steel

Colorbond is strong and secure when fencing a pool. Here are some of the benefits of Colorbond steel pool fencing;

•    Available in a range of colours
•    Strong
•    Fire and corrosion resistant

The most disadvantageous aspect of Colorbond steel pool fencing lies in the fact that it interrupts views and creates a ‘box’ of metal in your backyard. Colorbond is great from a practical point of view; however, it is not the most aesthetically pleasing or compatible option.

Aluminium

Aluminium is a lightweight and durable material option for your pool fencing that is of mid-range expense. Here are some of the benefits of aluminium pool fencing;
•    Less expensive than steel
•    Environmental choice
•    Not susceptible to corrosion
•    Wide range of colours

The main drawback to aluminium pool fencing is its lack of rigidity which means that it can be easily bent thus making it a security and safety risk. Like its steel contemporary, aluminium can also obstruct views.

Chain Link

The best thing that can be said for chain link fences is their affordability while their disadvantages include many mirrors of the aforementioned fences strengths. Here are the main disadvantages of chain link fences;

•    Not the most aesthetically pleasing option
•    Not secure
•    Blocks views

Wood

Wood is a great natural option for fencing that is unfortunately susceptible to rot, fire, and insects. Wood blocks views and, depending on the type of timber, isn’t as cost effective as some other options.

The advantages of frameless glass pool fencing

When it comes to pool fencing there is one option that stands head and shoulders above the rest, combining all of the strengths of the other types while only having the one disadvantage of being more expensive than its contemporaries. However, when factored with all of the advantages it will bring to your property the initial cost is comparable to even the cheapest pool fencing options.
We are of course talking about Assured Glass Fencings number one recommendation for pool fencing which is frameless glass pool fencing.
Frameless glass pool fencing offers the most versatile and beautiful pool fencing option on the market.
