Property, & Pool Safety
Andy Wigley, Director at Ammonite Design, explains why glass fencing is definitely worth a look.

There are several levels of pool security ranging from none to poolside alarms, pool covers, sliding enclosures and fencing. The one that is right for you will depend on a number of factors. “For instance”, explains Andy, “how far away is the pool and will you hear the alarm if someone is mowing or you are playing loud music? Small babies don’t float and, because the alarm will only sound once someone has fallen in, you need to think about how much time you will have to reach them safely. In addition, it’s not unknown for alarms to go off randomly and for them to be switched off all together. “Retractable pool covers and sliding Abris (enclosures) are a good solution but they are only effective against accidents when they are closed. Most users open them in the morning and close them at night, leaving them unattended in the meantime. “Metal fencing can be unattractive and ineffective too, especially if they have ugly posts and bars that can be used to climb over.”

A CLEAR SOLUTION
Andy continues, “We are often asked if we can supply coloured glass but the rules around safety are very strict and the associated regulations stipulate that the glass should be completely clear without signage, colour or any form of obscurity.
It is sobering to realise that, according to the latest NOYADES survey by Santé France Publique, accidental drownings amongst children under six years old rose from 180 in 2015 to 332 in 2018. The majority of fatal drownings took place in a private family pool.
