Important Update: As of May 1st, 2023, 12mm frameless glass panels are suitable only for decks, verandas, and balconies under 1 metre high, in accordance with current Australian regulations. For any balustrade installation above 1 metre, please use our 15mm Glass Balustrade System.

DETAILED QUALITY CONTROL

At each stage of production (cutting, polishing, drilling, tempering and packing), dedicated Quality Control Personnel inspect each sheet of glass. Glass identified as not conforming to the highest quality standards is set aside. 

DOUBLE EDGE POLISHING MACHINES

• Perfect polish and blemish free edges
• Horizontal double edge polishing machines give the finest edge finish.
• Speed of glass through edging machine is monitored
• Quality control personnel check each sheet of glass
• Sophisticated water filtration system ensures clean water used during polishing

TEMPERING OVEN

Toughened glass is made from annealed glass via a thermal tempering process. The glass is placed onto a roller table, taking it through a furnace that heats it above its annealing point of approx 700 °C. The glass is then rapidly cooled with forced air drafts. Of critical importance in glass processing is the tempering furnace used

• Specially designed furnace for heavy weight glass – Optimally toughens 8mm thick and above
• Onsite mechanic ensures regular maintenance
• Punch testing of toughened glass every hour as per Australian Standards

HEAT SOAKED GLASS

Heat soaking is an extra processing step that takes place after glass is toughened. Glass is put in special racks and placed in a heat soak oven which heats up the panes to a certain temperature, holding this temperature for some hours, and cooling again to room temperature. This test seeks to induce breakage in the oven of any panels with NiS inclusion and/or excessive stress and hence reduces the chance of onsite breakages. Fence Guru's factory supplier utilises a heat soak oven meeting the requirements of BS EN 14179-1: 2005. Please check with relevant Building Code of Australia regulations and/or Australian Standards regarding specific requirements for heat soaked tempered glass.
