The Challenge

Why Choose Our Glass Pool Fences Paddington Experts?

Many older pools in the 4064 postcode are surrounded by outdated timber or tubular aluminium fencing. These materials not only obstruct the view of your landscaping but often succumb to rot and rust in the Queensland humidity.

More critically, solid barriers can hinder supervision, making it difficult to keep an eye on children in the water from your veranda or kitchen. Traditional fencing creates a visual 'cage' that shrinks the perceived size of your backyard.

Obstructed visibility is a major safety hazard. Timber rot and aluminum rust compromise the structural integrity of your pool safety barrier.

Our Solution

Crystal Clear Supervision

Our solution is the installation of premium, 12mm toughened safety glass. By choosing us, you are opting for a barrier that offers clear uninterrupted visibility, allowing you to supervise swimmers effortlessly while opening up your outdoor entertainment area.

Unlike other materials, glass does not decay or require painting. We solve the challenge of complex layouts—common in Paddington's terraced backyards—by customising the glass configuration to your specific pool shape.

We ensure every spigot is anchored securely into your concrete or timber decking, guaranteeing a rigid, long-lasting installation that meets all safety codes.

Our Direct-to-You Installation Process

Our process is designed to be seamless and transparent, ensuring you know exactly who is on your site and what is happening at every stage.

Site Consultation

We assess ground quality, retaining wall integrity, and earthing requirements. We discuss design preferences to maximise space in tight Paddington backyards.

Custom Fabrication

Once the design is finalised, our in-house team handles the fabrication and ordering of your custom glass panels to exact specifications.

Structural Install

Our team core-drills concrete or anchors to timber decks using high-strength structural grout to lock spigots in place for absolute rigidity.

Safety Calibration

We install gates and adjust soft-close hinges to ensure they self-latch from any distance. Finally, we provide Form 15 compliance paperwork.

Strict Adherence to AS1926.1 and AS1288 Standards

Pool safety is not an area for compromise. Our installations strictly adhere to AS1926.1 (Safety Barriers for Swimming Pools) and AS1288 (Glass in Buildings).

We use only stamped, toughened safety glass that ensures durability against impact. Because we are fully licensed trade professionals, we issue a Form 15 upon completion of the work. This document certifies that the design and installation meet the National Construction Code, which you will need to obtain your final Pool Safety Certificate. When you choose us, you are choosing a safety-standard compliant barrier installed by the book.

Building Considerations in Paddington and Red Hill

Paddington is not just a service area to us; it is our backyard. We understand the specific challenges and beauty of building in this area. We know that installing a splashback in a renovated worker's cottage on a steep block in Red Hill requires a different approach than fitting a mirror in a modern apartment complex in Milton.

We appreciate the community spirit here, and we strive to contribute to it by being the reliable local experts you can turn to. We understand the local council regulations regarding pool fencing and balustrades in this specific terrain, ensuring your project is not only beautiful but also fully compliant with local laws.

Expert Care for Long-Lasting Clarity

While glass is low maintenance, it is not 'no maintenance'. To keep your pool fence looking pristine, we recommend a simple cleaning routine. Wash the glass panels every 3-6 months with warm soapy water and a soft sponge to remove salt spray, chlorine residue, and dust.

Check Your Gate
Crucially, you must inspect the hardware. Check that the gate self-closes from a resting position and latches securely. If the gate speed changes, the hydraulic hinges may need a simple adjustment.

Rinse your stainless steel spigots with fresh water to prevent tea-staining, especially if you live near the bay. Avoid abrasive scourers which can scratch the surface.
