Case Study: Five Star Glass Installs a Premium Frameless Glass Pool Security Fence
The owners of this modern home in Oxford Falls, NSW wanted to create a safe swimming pool enclosure without compromising the clean architectural design of their outdoor entertaining area. With elegant white granite pool coping surrounding the pool and beautifully landscaped gardens, they were looking for a fencing solution that would provide maximum safety while preserving uninterrupted views.
After discussing their requirements with Five Star Glass, the homeowners chose a premium frameless glass pool security fence featuring Australian Standard compliant toughened safety glass and high-quality Polaris marine-grade hardware. The completed installation delivers exceptional durability, a sophisticated, contemporary appearance, and full compliance with Australian pool fencing regulations.
The homeowners had recently upgraded their outdoor entertaining area and wanted every feature to reflect the home’s modern design.
They were seeking a swimming pool fence that would:
Following an onsite consultation, detailed measurements and a thorough assessment of the pool area, Five Star Glass recommended a custom frameless glass fencing solution using premium 12mm toughened safety glass secured with Polaris marine-grade Duplex 2205 hardware.

The frameless pool fence was constructed using premium toughened safety glass panels measuring 1200mm high and manufactured from 12mm thick safety glass.
Every panel was manufactured to Australian Standards, ensuring exceptional strength, durability and safety.
Unlike standard annealed glass, toughened safety glass undergoes an advanced heat treatment process that significantly increases its impact resistance. Should accidental breakage ever occur, the glass shatters into small, blunt fragments rather than dangerous, sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury.
The crystal-clear frameless design creates an almost invisible safety barrier that allows natural light to flow throughout the outdoor entertaining area while providing uninterrupted views of the swimming pool and surrounding landscape.
To securely support each frameless glass panel, Five Star Glass installed Polaris surface-mount marine-grade white Duplex 2205 spigots.
These premium spigots are specifically engineered to support 12mm toughened safety glass while providing exceptional structural performance and a refined architectural appearance.
Manufactured from Duplex 2205 marine-grade stainless steel, the spigots offer outstanding corrosion resistance, making them ideal for Australian outdoor environments where exposure to moisture and changing weather conditions demands superior materials.
The elegant white finish perfectly complements the white granite pool coping, creating a clean, seamless appearance that blends beautifully into the surrounding outdoor design.
Each surface mount spigot was professionally secured into the granite coping using precision installation techniques to ensure long-term stability and outstanding performance.
An essential feature of every compliant swimming pool fence is a reliable self-closing safety gate.
For this project, Five Star Glass installed premium Polaris hinges on the frameless glass pool gate.
Designed for smooth operation and long-term reliability, these hinges automatically return the gate to the closed and latched position after every use, helping maintain compliance with Australian pool safety legislation.
The frameless gate integrates seamlessly with the surrounding glass panels, maintaining the elegant, minimalist appearance of the entire pool enclosure.
Installing frameless glass pool fencing requires exceptional precision and attention to detail.
Before installation began, the Five Star Glass team carefully assessed the levels of the white granite pool coping, confirmed all measurements and accurately marked the location of every surface mount spigot.
Once securely fixed into the granite, each glass panel was carefully installed, aligned and levelled to create perfectly consistent spacing and uninterrupted sightlines throughout the pool enclosure.
Every stage of the installation was completed with meticulous workmanship to ensure the highest standards of quality, safety and aesthetics.
The completed frameless glass pool fence has transformed the outdoor entertaining area into a sophisticated, safe and highly functional living space.
The crystal-clear 12mm toughened safety glass preserves uninterrupted views of the swimming pool while creating a secure safety barrier that fully complies with Australian Standards.
The white Polaris Duplex 2205 marine-grade spigots blend seamlessly with the white granite pool coping, delivering a premium architectural finish that enhances the property’s modern aesthetic.
Combined with the premium Polaris self-closing gate hinges, the finished installation provides a durable, low-maintenance and visually striking pool fencing solution designed to withstand Australia’s demanding outdoor conditions.
The homeowners were delighted with the completed project and praised Five Star Glass for their professionalism, attention to detail and outstanding workmanship throughout the installation.
