Frequently Asked Questions

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’.

Zero Edge 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.

At Zero Edge, our standard Melbourne Glass Fencing colour is natural. This glass is clear with a slight green/black edge that is the natural 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.

Have a custom project in mind? Zero Edge are more than happy to source customised material for you.

After a different colour? Talk to us about the different options regarding permanent and semi-permanent coloured glass options, including permanent acid-etched finishes or tinting.

The beauty of glass pool fencing is that it requires no painting, lacquering, repairing or protecting against the elements! All you need is some soapy water and voila!

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.

There are safety codes that specify the maximum distance between all the panels involved. Zero Edge complies with all of these.

Zero Edge uses Duplex Grade 2205 Stainless Steel spigots for all pool fence installation. 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.

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.

Our gates and latches comply with the relevant building code (AS/NZS 1926.1-2012) so you can be assured that your pool area is properly secured.

Your pool fencing should be the last element going in around your new pool.
