One major factor to consider when thinking about getting a pool, or even if you already have one, is safety. Pools with no fence to keep out pets or children can be dangerous. Especially in the winter when you have a tarp on top of your pool. Glass railings provide a safe and stylish alternative to regular fencing or gates. You can keep the aesthetics of your backyard while improving the safety of it.
Safety and Style
When you install glass railings around your pool, you’re not just enhancing the aesthetics of your space; you’re also adding an extra layer of safety. Glass railings create a barrier that keeps children and pets safely away from the pool area without obstructing visibility. They are also less likely to be climbed, unlike traditional railings that might offer footholds or handholds.
For families with young children or pets, glass railings offer a safe and stylish opportunity for your pool and backyard.
Unobstructed Views
Vancouver Island is known for its breathtaking views, from coastal vistas to mountainous landscapes. One of the primary benefits of glass railings is that they allow for uninterrupted sightlines, so you can enjoy the full beauty of your surroundings while lounging by the pool. Traditional wood or metal railings can block your view, but glass offers a sleek and modern alternative that keeps your scenery front and center.
Weather Resistance
Vancouver Island’s weather can be unpredictable, with everything from sun to rain and coastal winds. Glass railings are highly durable and resistant to the elements, making them a great choice for your pool area. Unlike wood, which can rot or warp over time, or metal, which can rust, glass railings stand up to moisture, salt, and fluctuating temperatures.
For added durability, tempered glass is used in railing installations, making it not only weather-resistant but also shatterproof. This ensures that your pool area will look pristine and functional for years to come, even in the face of the Island’s coastal climate.
Low Maintenance
Glass railings offer a low maintenance alternative to metal or wood fencing. Glass railings are very easy to clean, just get a cloth with some warm water and a splash of soap and gently clean the surface. It’s that simple, compared to wood or metal this is so much faster and easier.
Conclusion
If you have a pool, consider adding glass railings as a perimeter around it. They greatly improve the safety of your backyard while adding to the aesthetics. With easy maintenance and weather resistance, glass railings are your number one choice for your pool. Contact us today at Professional Railings and let us take care of all your glass railing needs.
