Case Study – Five Star Glass Enhances Safety and Style with a Premium Frameless Pool Fence
A swimming pool should be a place where families can relax, entertain and enjoy the outdoors while knowing their pool area is both safe and visually appealing. Modern homeowners increasingly want pool fencing that satisfies Australian safety regulations without obstructing views of their landscaping or outdoor entertaining spaces. Frameless glass pool fencing has become one of the most sought-after solutions because it delivers exceptional safety while maintaining an elegant, open appearance.
Five Star Glass recently completed the installation of a premium frameless glass security fence around a corner inground swimming pool at a residential property in Curl Curl, NSW. The project combined precision workmanship with premium-quality materials to create a durable, compliant and visually stunning pool enclosure that complements the home’s contemporary outdoor living area.
The homeowners wanted a pool fence that would provide maximum safety while preserving uninterrupted views across their beautifully landscaped backyard and swimming pool.
Their existing fencing felt bulky and visually intrusive, making the outdoor entertaining area appear smaller than it actually was. They were looking for a solution that would blend seamlessly into the surroundings while providing the strength and durability expected from a premium pool safety barrier.
After discussing the available options, the owners chose a fully frameless glass pool fence that would provide a clean architectural finish while allowing natural light to flow freely throughout the outdoor area.

Five Star Glass supplied and installed premium 12mm thick toughened safety glass panels that measured 1200mm in height. Every glass panel was manufactured to comply with Australian Standards, providing outstanding strength, durability and long-term reliability in a coastal environment.
Unlike framed pool fencing systems, frameless glass creates an almost invisible barrier that preserves views of the swimming pool, surrounding gardens and entertaining areas. The result is a sophisticated finish that enhances both the functionality and overall value of the property.
The thicker 12mm glass provides excellent structural integrity while maintaining the elegant minimalist appearance that has become synonymous with luxury outdoor living.
One of the defining features of this project was the corner configuration of the inground swimming pool. Installing frameless glass fencing around corners requires careful planning, accurate measurements and meticulous alignment to ensure every glass panel maintains consistent spacing while following the pool’s contours.
Before installation commenced, the Five Star Glass team carefully surveyed the paving, confirmed all dimensions and established precise installation points for every glass panel and gate.
Each panel was positioned to maximise visibility while maintaining full compliance with Australian pool fencing regulations. Special attention was given to the corner transitions, ensuring the fence maintained perfectly straight sightlines while providing a seamless appearance from every viewing angle.
The finished installation demonstrates the level of craftsmanship required to achieve a premium frameless glass pool fence.
To complement the crystal-clear glass panels, Five Star Glass selected premium chrome Polaris metal spigots to secure each panel directly into the existing paved surface.
Polaris hardware is recognised throughout Australia for its exceptional engineering, corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The polished chrome finish provides a contemporary appearance while securely supporting each glass panel without bulky aluminium posts or framing.
The pool access gate was also fitted with premium Polaris hinges, delivering smooth operation, dependable self-closing performance and reliable self-latching functionality. These components are essential for maintaining ongoing compliance with Australian pool safety legislation while providing homeowners with confidence that their pool area remains secure.
The combination of premium Polaris hardware and expertly installed toughened glass creates a fencing system designed to perform reliably for many years with minimal maintenance.
The completed frameless glass pool fence has transformed the entire outdoor entertaining area. Rather than dominating the landscape, the transparent fencing allows the swimming pool to become the focal point while preserving uninterrupted views across the backyard.
Natural light now flows throughout the outdoor space, creating a brighter and more open environment that enhances the home’s modern architectural style.
The frameless design also makes the entertaining area appear significantly larger while providing the safety and security expected from a fully compliant pool fence.
The homeowners were delighted with the final result, particularly the clean lines, premium finish and exceptional workmanship delivered by the Five Star Glass installation team.
Five Star Glass continues to be trusted by homeowners throughout Sydney to supply and install premium frameless glass pool fencing, shower screens, balustrades, and architectural glass solutions.
