Case Study: Five Star Glass Installs a Premium Frameless Glass Pool Security Fence
The owners of this contemporary home in Frenchs Forest, NSW wanted to enhance the safety of their swimming pool while maintaining the luxurious appearance of their outdoor entertaining area. Having recently completed a stunning landscape renovation featuring premium travertine pool coping, they required a pool fencing solution that would meet Australian safety regulations without detracting from the clean architectural lines of the backyard.
After consulting with Five Star Glass, the homeowners chose a premium frameless glass pool security fence featuring Australian Standard compliant toughened safety glass, marine-grade Polaris hardware and precision installation. The completed project delivers exceptional safety, uninterrupted views and a sophisticated finish that perfectly complements the modern home.
The homeowners wanted a pool fence that would provide maximum safety while allowing the swimming pool and landscaped entertaining area to remain the visual centrepiece of the backyard.
During the consultation, they explained that their ideal pool fence would:
Following a detailed site inspection and careful measurements, Five Star Glass recommended a custom frameless glass pool fencing system using premium 12mm toughened safety glass secured with Polaris marine-grade Duplex 2205 hardware.

The pool fence was constructed using frameless toughened safety glass panels measuring 1200mm high and manufactured from 12mm thick safety glass.
Every glass panel was manufactured to Australian Standards, ensuring exceptional strength, durability and long-term safety.
Toughened safety glass undergoes a specialised heating and rapid cooling process that significantly increases its strength compared with standard glass. If accidental breakage ever occurs, the glass breaks into small blunt fragments rather than dangerous sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury.
The crystal-clear frameless design creates a virtually invisible safety barrier that allows uninterrupted views of the swimming pool while maintaining a bright, spacious outdoor entertaining area.
The transparent panels also maximise natural light, enhancing the overall appearance of the backyard.
To securely support each frameless glass panel, Five Star Glass installed premium Polaris surface mount marine-grade brushed brass Duplex 2205 spigots.
Specifically engineered to support 12mm toughened safety glass, these premium spigots deliver outstanding structural performance while contributing to the sophisticated architectural appearance of the pool enclosure.
Manufactured from Duplex 2205 marine-grade stainless steel, the spigots provide superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for Australian outdoor environments where exposure to moisture and changing weather conditions demands premium-quality hardware.
The brushed brass finish creates a luxurious contrast against the light-coloured travertine pool coping, adding warmth and elegance while complementing the home’s modern architectural style.
Each surface mount spigot was precisely installed into the travertine coping using professional fixing methods that ensure exceptional strength, stability and long-term reliability.
An essential part of every compliant swimming pool fence is a dependable self-closing safety gate.
For this installation, Five Star Glass fitted premium Polaris hinges to the frameless glass pool gate.
These high-quality hinges provide smooth, effortless operation while automatically returning the gate to the closed and latched position after every use.
The self-closing mechanism helps maintain compliance with Australian swimming pool safety regulations while providing homeowners with complete peace of mind.
The frameless glass gate blends seamlessly with the surrounding fence panels, preserving the clean minimalist appearance of the entire installation.
Installing frameless glass pool fencing requires precision workmanship and careful planning.
Before installation commenced, the Five Star Glass team carefully checked the levels of the travertine pool coping, confirmed every measurement and accurately marked the location of each Polaris surface mount spigot.
Once securely fixed into the coping, each glass panel was carefully positioned, levelled and aligned to achieve perfectly consistent spacing and uninterrupted sightlines around the swimming pool.
Every stage of the installation was completed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety and finish.
The completed frameless glass pool fence transformed the outdoor entertaining area into a sophisticated, safe and highly functional space.
The transparent 12mm toughened safety glass preserves uninterrupted views across the swimming pool while providing a compliant safety barrier that meets Australian Standards.
The premium brushed brass Polaris Duplex 2205 spigots beautifully complement the travertine coping, adding a luxurious architectural feature that enhances the overall design of the backyard.
Combined with the premium Polaris self-closing hinges, the installation delivers exceptional durability, minimal maintenance and timeless visual appeal.
The homeowners were delighted with the finished project, praising Five Star Glass for their professionalism, attention to detail and outstanding workmanship throughout every stage of the installation.
