SEMI-Frameless Glass POOL FENCING Options
Full Post Semi-Frameless Glass Pool Fencing
This full-size post systems option is precisely as it sounds – there is a partial frame which is supported by full length posts. The glass is established into the posts, using a wet or dry glazing method. The wet method is when a silicone is applied to lock the glass, and dry simply means that we use a rubber insert that wedges the glass into the post to secure the system.
The glass used in this system is generally a 10mm thick toughened panel.
Three Quarter Post Semi-Frameless Glass Pool Fencing
Knowing all your options before you choose a Custom Glass Pool Fence system fit for you on the Gold Coast is very important. One of these choices is the Semi-Frameless Glass pool fence with three quarter posts.
So, you might be wondering what this option includes? This system involves putting in a pool fence which consists of glass panels that have significantly shorter posts to stabilize the panels. The posts only need to be 90cm away from the ground, while the height of the glass still meets pool fence safety requirements at 1200mm in height. The glass used generally the same as a full post system, sporting a toughened 10mm thick panel with a perfect fit.

Semi-Frameless Glass Pool Fencing FAQs
Semi-frameless glass pool fencing is a cost-effective alternative to frameless glass fencing. It uses toughened glass panels supported by aluminium or stainless-steel posts, offering strength, safety, and a modern look while reducing overall costs by up to 30% compared to fully frameless systems.
Semi-frameless systems are generally 20–30% more affordable than frameless glass fencing. The final price depends on factors such as the size of your pool area, the style chosen (full post or three-quarter post), and the type of hardware used. Absolut Custom Glass supplies hardware at cost price to ensure maximum value.
Yes. All Absolut semi-frameless pool fencing installations comply with Gold Coast Council safety by-laws. The panels are a minimum 1200mm in height, with 10mm toughened safety glass, and all hardware meets Australian Standards for pool safety and durability.
We offer two main styles:
- Full Post System – Glass panels are supported by full-length posts. This rigid system is ideal for areas where ground stability is a concern.
- Three-Quarter Post System – Shorter posts (90cm) with 1200mm glass panels. This provides a sleek, modern look while still meeting council safety requirements.
Absolut Custom Glass uses both wet and dry glazing methods. Wet glazing secures the glass with silicone, while dry glazing uses a rubber insert to wedge the glass tightly into the post. Both methods are safe, compliant, and selected based on site conditions.
All hardware is made from high-quality 316L and duplex 2205 marine-grade stainless steel, powder-coated, or anodised aluminium. This ensures maximum resistance against corrosion in coastal Gold Coast conditions. Custom colour options are also available for posts and spigots to match your outdoor style.
Our semi-frameless systems are built with 10mm clear toughened glass panels as standard. In some cases, 12mm panels may be used depending on design preferences and site requirements.
Semi-frameless fences are more budget-friendly, offer additional rigidity through posts, and still provide a stylish and modern look. Frameless fences maximise uninterrupted views but come at a higher price point. Semi-frameless fencing is often chosen by clients seeking a balance between cost, safety, and aesthetics.
