To combine safety and aesthetics around your pool, there’s nothing better than installing or having a glass pool barrier installed. Opening your relaxation area to your garden and protecting your family and guests, the glass barrier has become an essential element of decoration and landscaping. Our experts reveal the different barriers available to you, how to maintain them, and under what circumstances to have them installed.
The Glass Barrier: Dressing and Securing Your Pool
Generally, to protect a pool and its users, a compliant fence with a gate was installed, but this introduced a very visible element into the garden. Over time, the glass barrier module was developed and standardized to meet the expectations of those wanting to enhance their garden while protecting the pool. Elegant and discreet, it complies with standard NFP90-306.
The glass used is 8 mm tempered glass to prevent breakage and meet the outdoor resistance requirements for this type of enclosure. Since 2006, it has been mandatory to equip your pool with a fence to prevent vulnerable individuals and children from falling into the water and risking drowning. By opting for a glass barrier, you combine safety and aesthetics, creating a secure and elegant environment to fully enjoy your outdoor space.
The Different Models on the Market
Mandatory since 2006, a pool fence must also be an element that enhances your outdoor space. This is why it was important to create solutions different from the known and proven meshes and nets used for years. There are therefore two types of glass barriers:
- The module with visible stainless steel posts
- The so-called invisible module with supports called clamps (or plates) made of stainless steel
These two modules can be installed by professionals, but if you are a DIY enthusiast at heart, it is entirely possible for you to carry out the work yourself thanks to the installation kits available on our site.
How to Maintain My Glass Pool Barrier?
Maintaining your pool barrier will be essential to preserve its transparency and durability. Even if the maintenance is not the most complex, it will still require time and a bit of elbow grease. If you like old-fashioned methods, nothing beats a basin of lukewarm water with a mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge. Once cleaned, you will need to rinse with clear water to remove any soap residue that could leave white marks on your glass.
For those wishing to clean with a device that will make your life easier, you can invest in an electric window cleaner. In addition to serving you for your barrier windows, it can be your cleaning companion inside your home—an investment that is worth it! With a tool like a window cleaner, you will save time for a professional result.
