Case Study: Frameless Glass Pool Fence Installation in Collaroy Plateau, NSW
Five Star Glass recently completed the installation of a custom frameless glass security fence around an inground swimming pool at a residential property in Collaroy Plateau, NSW. The project was designed to provide a safe and compliant pool enclosure while maintaining the open, modern appearance of the outdoor entertaining area.
The homeowners wanted a pool fencing solution that would offer uncompromising safety without obstructing views of their beautifully landscaped backyard and swimming pool. After an on-site consultation, Five Star Glass recommended a premium frameless glass pool fencing system featuring 12mm thick toughened safety glass panels secured with stylish matte black metal spigots.
The completed installation delivered the perfect balance of safety, durability, and contemporary design, significantly enhancing both the functionality and visual appeal of the outdoor space.
The homeowners had recently upgraded their pool area and wanted a fencing solution that would complement the modern design of their property. Traditional aluminium or tubular fencing options were considered, but they were concerned that these alternatives would create visual barriers and detract from the open feel of the backyard.
Their key objectives included:
Following a detailed site inspection, Five Star Glass proposed a frameless glass pool fencing system that would meet all safety requirements while preserving the openness of the outdoor environment.

Every pool fencing project completed by Five Star Glass is custom designed to suit the layout and requirements of the property.
For this Collaroy Plateau installation, the team designed a frameless glass fence system using large glass panels measuring 1200mm in height. The fence was strategically positioned around the perimeter of the inground swimming pool to provide a secure safety barrier while maximising visibility across the entire outdoor area.
The frameless design created an elegant and sophisticated appearance, allowing the pool, landscaping, and surrounding entertaining spaces to remain the focal point of the backyard.
Unlike traditional fencing materials that can visually divide outdoor areas, frameless glass provides a virtually invisible barrier that blends seamlessly into the environment.
A key feature of this project was the use of premium 12mm thick toughened safety glass.
Toughened glass is specifically engineered to provide exceptional strength and safety, making it the ideal choice for swimming pool fencing applications. Through a specialised heating and cooling process, the glass becomes significantly stronger than standard glass and highly resistant to impact and environmental stresses.
The benefits of 12mm toughened safety glass include:
The increased thickness of 12mm glass provides additional rigidity and stability, allowing the fence panels to remain secure without the need for bulky framing systems.
All glass supplied for the project was manufactured to comply with strict Australian Standards, ensuring complete confidence in the safety and quality of the finished installation.
In the unlikely event of breakage, toughened safety glass is designed to shatter into small granular pieces rather than sharp fragments, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
To complement the modern aesthetic of the property, the glass panels were secured using premium matte black metal spigots.
The matte black finish created a striking contrast against the glass while coordinating perfectly with other outdoor fixtures and architectural elements around the home.
Spigot-mounted pool fencing is one of the most popular frameless pool fencing systems available because it offers exceptional structural performance while maintaining a minimalist appearance.
The matte black spigots provided:
By securing the glass panels directly into the paving, the installation achieved a clean, floating-glass appearance that enhanced the premium feel of the pool area.
As with every frameless glass project, precision was essential to achieving the desired outcome.
The Five Star Glass team began by carefully measuring the pool area and mapping out the fence layout to ensure compliance with all applicable pool safety regulations.
Each glass panel was custom manufactured to exact specifications before installation commenced. The team then precisely positioned and anchored the matte black spigots into the paving, ensuring consistent spacing and alignment throughout the fence line.
Once the spigots were securely installed, the 12mm toughened glass panels were carefully lifted into place and adjusted to achieve perfectly level sightlines.
Attention to detail throughout the installation process ensured a flawless finish and optimal performance of the completed fencing system.
The completed frameless glass pool fence transformed the outdoor area into a safer and more visually appealing space.
The homeowners were delighted with the way the glass fencing preserved uninterrupted views of the swimming pool while providing the security and compliance required for family use. The matte black spigots added a sophisticated contemporary touch that perfectly complemented the home’s overall design.
Most importantly, the installation delivered a robust and durable safety barrier that will continue to perform reliably for many years.
