We have trained staff that can advise you as to what is appropriate and stylish for all your glass needs. Please direct your enquires to our trained staff and let them show you how we can make a difference.

Pool Fencing

NEED A STUNNING POOL FENCE!!!!
Safa glass can do this for you using the best products available and the latest products on the market. With over 14 years experience in pool fencing, we only use the best so you will have the best. We use the unique mini stub post system, made from a 316 stainless steel, which allows you a perfect view of your pool or entertainment area. We can fit to concrete slabs or timber decks. We like to get involved early in the planning stages so we can liaise with architects and builders on any requirements needed to give you stunning result. Our gate systems have moved from the recessed hydraulic spring as too many were falling over time due to corrosion. We have sourced the latest hydraulic hinge which doesn’t corrode, and is a self closing hinge. This is made in Italy, and is made in high grade aluminum, and has been tested to 1,000,000 openings. Please ask our trained staff with any more quires regarding pool fencing.

Cleaning of Showers

klearvu pack

Because you have no frame on your glass, this allows for ease of cleaning and maintenance. We also recommended clean film solution which can be applied by yourself if you purchase a “Safa Shield” clean kit from us, or we can arrange for a professional to do it for you. Please ask about this product when placing your order. We don’t recommend that you use and harsh products to clean your glass, as this will tend to etch or scratch the glass. Products such as jiff, steel wool scourers are not recommended. Use sponges chamois or microfiber cloths, along with eco friendly solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the difference between clear float to low iron?
    1. A clear float has a green (coke bottle) tinge to it. This is a glass with more iron content. It has the same quality in strength and durability, but will distort some colours. Whereas low iron glass has had more processing carried out to remove or lower the iron content, giving you a more transparent look with no distortion to your colour choice.
  2. Will my glass crack?
    1. No the glass will not crack, and will withstand heat and impacts. The glass is toughened at 700 degrees and it is scratch resistant but not scratch proof so care should still be taken around the glass.
  3. How will my power point fit to the glass?
    1. All GPO’s (power points) are cut into the glass, and your GPOS’s whether a flush mount or not, will easily fit into the wall bracket.
  4. Will water or food get in behind the splash back?
    1. No, once installed the splahsback is then sealed with a waterproof sealant, and we ask that you don’t push on the glass or try to clean it for at least 24 hours to allow the silicon seals to dry.
  5. How do I clean my splash back?
    1. Cleaning your splash back is an easy process nothing will back on, or stick permanently to your glass. You can use a normal glass cleaner, or a mixture of ethylated spirits with a micro fiber cloth will do the trick.
