FAQ & SAFETY

Have questions? We've got you covered.

How strong is tempered glass? It is safe to use for pool fences and railings?

Tempered safety glass is six times stronger than regular glass. It is durable, tough, and impact resistant, making it one of the most utilized architectural glass options out there. It is specially designed for safety fencing and railings. Our ½” thick tempered glass panels have polished edges and can be custom cut to fit any layout.

What is the typical height of your glass fence and railing systems?

For glass pool fences, the recommended height is based on the pool fence code in your state, typically 4ft – 5ft from the ground to the top of the glass. Ultimately, we can do any height you request.

For glass guardrail systems, the typical railing height is 42”. Our semi-frameless Aluminum Windscreen can go up to 6ft. If you are unsure of the regulations in your area, it’s best to contact your local building or health department to ask.

Is there a maximum panel width?

Our glass panels are always custom cut to your specific project needs. No “stock panels” here. The maximum panel width is approximately 60” depending on the system height.

Are there different options for the mounting hardware?

Our signature frameless pool fence design uses Duplex 2205 Stainless Steel clamps to support the glass. This is the highest grade stainless available and is highly resistant to corrosion. We offer matte black powder coating for an additional charge. Visit our glass railings page to see our other mounting hardware options.

Does your system require connectors or 'clips' at the top of the glass? 

Our systems are engineered to be secure without the need for anything at the top of the glass. We do offer “top clips” as an optional add on, but they are not required. Top clips add extra rigidity and keep the panels in a perfectly straight line, which can help if the mounting surface is slightly uneven.

Are your pool gates child-proof? Can I lock them?

Yes. All of our pool gates are self-closing and self-latching. They have “soft close” stainless steel hinges and a lockable safety latch.

Do glass fences require a lot of cleaning / maintenance?

Very little maintenance is required. A wipe down with mild soapy water every 12 weeks will keep the glass looking like new. We also offer permanent coatings from Enduroshield & Diamond Seal that reduces cleaning even further.

How much does a glass pool fence cost for an ‘average size’ pool?

Price can vary significantly based on the specifics of your project. Give us a call for a free estimate - so you can make an informed decision.

How do I get a quote?

To prepare your estimate, we’ll just need to know the overall linear footage of your project, the desired number of gates, and some basic jobsite information. Our specialists will ensure we meet your budget, timeline, and custom design needs. We do offer a price guarantee. If you receive a lower estimate elsewhere, please let us know and we will beat it.

Is installation included in my estimate price?

We can offer quotes for your project both with and without installation. Our estimates clearly break down the costs, so you'll see installation as a separate line item.

Does Aquaview offer installation services?

Aquaview works with a network of licensed installers across the USA and can introduce you to an authorized installer in your area. The process is streamlined and turnkey – we introduce you for a site visit, then add their installation cost as a line item to our final proposal, and stay in close communication throughout the scheduling and installation process.

Can I use my own contractor for installation? What if it’s their first time installing a glass fence?

Yes, you can use your own contractor for installation. We have a detailed installation guide and offer technical support for contractors. Our system is straightforward for most contractors to install.

The quote looks good. How do I place an order?

Let us know once you’re ready and we’ll send over a purchase order for you to sign. We also require a deposit to begin fabrication. Once the deposit is received, we create a schematic of your layout for you and the installer to approve before we cut the glass. Now the exciting part begins!

Once I place my order, how long does it take until installation can begin?

Your glass fence materials will be delivered approximately 2-4 weeks after we receive your deposit. We often complete projects faster than this, so may be able to accommodate if you need your order expedited. Extended lead times may apply to our commercial gate options and aluminum railing systems.

How long does it typically take to install?

Depending on the size of the project, between 1 to 7 days.

What is your warranty policy?

Every Aquaview project comes with a 2-year warranty on materials and installation. Our systems are built to last a life time. We provide continuous support for any questions or concerns about your new glass pool fence or railing. If your system ever needs a repair or adjustment down the line, please contact us and we'll be happy to assist!
