Project Spotlight: Elegant Safety for a French Swimming Pool
At Demose, we believe that safety and style should go hand-in-hand, especially around swimming pools. Today, we’re looking back at a classic project from November 2014: a stunning glass fence installation for a private swimming pool in France.
This project perfectly showcases how the right materials and design create a pool area that is not only secure but also visually stunning, allowing for unobstructed views of the landscape.
The Challenge: Combining Safety, Durability, and Aesthetics
The primary goal for any pool fence is safety. However, the homeowners wanted a solution that would not feel bulky or block the beautiful surroundings of their property. The fence needed to be:
- Extremely strong and durable to withstand years of outdoor exposure.
- Corrosion-resistant to handle pool chemicals and the local climate.
- Minimalist and elegant to preserve the view and enhance the modern aesthetic of the pool area.
Our Solution: Premium Materials for a Lasting Finish
We met these challenges by using a combination of high-grade stainless steel and tempered glass—a hallmark of quality in architectural fencing.
1. Strong and Discreet Support: The Spigot
The foundation of this glass fence is our robust 50x50x180mm spigot. This is the component that holds the glass panels securely in place.
- Material: Manufactured from either SUS304 or SUS316 stainless steel. SUS304 is an excellent standard for most environments, while SUS316 offers superior corrosion resistance, ideal for areas near the sea or with highly chlorinated water.
- Finish: Available in a stylish satin or mirror finish, allowing it to blend seamlessly or add a subtle decorative highlight.
2. A Clean and Safe Top: The Decorative Cap
To finish the look and ensure safety, each spigot was topped with a 115x115mm decorative cap.
- Material: Also made from SUS304 or SUS316 stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability and a perfect match with the spigots.
- Design: This cap provides a smooth, rounded finish, eliminating sharp edges and giving the fence a polished, professional look.
3. The Star of the Show: 12mm Tempered Glass
The key to the fence’s transparent beauty is the 12mm thick tempered glass panels.
- Safety: Tempered glass is up to five times stronger than standard glass. If it ever breaks, it shatters into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards, making it the safest choice for pool fencing.
- Clarity: The clear finish offers perfect transparency, creating a safety barrier that is almost invisible and does not interrupt the view of the pool and garden.
Why This Design Stands the Test of Time
Over a decade since its installation in 2014, the principles behind this fence remain as relevant as ever:
- Safety First: The combination of sturdy spigots and super-strong tempered glass creates a reliable barrier for families.
- Durability: The use of SUS304/SUS316 stainless steel ensures the structure remains rust-free and beautiful for years with minimal maintenance.
- Timeless Elegance: The minimalist design focuses on quality materials rather than fleeting trends, ensuring the pool area never looks dated.
