Magic Glass is an Australian owned business focused on excellence. For the Magic Glass team, the customer’s experience is a key focus and the central priority of any job. So, how does Magic Glass differ from other glass providers?
Embracing Technology
As Magic Glass has grown, the company has embraced innovation through technology. As a leading glass provider, the team recognises the ability of technological developments to improve management systems and the service that customers experience. With the latest technologies, the Magic Glass team can provide state-of-the-art designs, rapid service and innovative solutions for both commercial and residential customers.
Magic Glass were early adopters of cutting-edge techniques such as Dry Ice Blasting to remove rust and Rope Access. Now boasting a team of IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) trained abseiling technicians, Magic Glass has been able to utilise industry first tools and techniques to provide cheaper, lower-disturbance and more effective façade services to customers.
Unlike other glass companies, Magic Glass also hosts an in-house furnace to customise, fabricate and cut glass specific to customers' needs rapidly. With this unique technological resource, Magic Glass can provide and install toughened or customised glass in 24 hours.
More recently, the Glazing and Rope Access divisions have been updated and remodelled by Nexus Service Manager. A cloud-based application that provides high quality field service, Nexus Service Manager centralises Magic Glass’ business information and improves the efficiency of glazing jobs day in, day out. With better information about the sequence of projects, the customer receives higher quality, quicker and more accurate information about costs and materials for the specific task at hand.

Glass pool fences are a popular option for homeowners who want to create a luxurious and spacious outdoor area around their pool. They offer an unobstructed view of the backyard and keep children and pets safe from the water.
There are, however, many regulations that your pool fence must comply with in order to ensure absolute safety.
Glass Pool Fencing Regulations
When it comes to your glass fencing specifically, you must ensure your fence satisfies the following requirements.
- Must be at least 1200 mm tall all the way around (measured from the outside of the pool). If a boundary fence forms part of the pool fencing, it must be at least 1800 mm tall.
- The gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground cannot be larger than 100 mm.
- Vertical rails on the pool fence and gate cannot be more than 100 mm apart.
- If using mesh pool fencing, holes in the fence cannot have a diameter larger than 13 mm.
- The pool fence should be well-maintained and in functional order.
- Pool fencing cannot be climbable. Any potential handholds or footholds cannot be within 900 mm of the top of the fence in any direction.
Glass Pool Gate Regulations
The following regulations regarding pool gates must also be satisfied.
- All pool gates must be self-closing and able to latch by themselves.
- Pool gate latches must be in good condition and working order.
- The gate must open outwards, away from the pool.
- For a frameless glass pool fence, the latch must be opened from the other side (poolside of the gate).
- The gap between the glass gate and anything else must be less than 10 mm.

These days, more and more people are opting for aluminium windows. These windows offer a multitude of benefits such as high durability, low maintenance requirements, fewer costs, and greater aesthetic appeal.
If you’re unsure about what aluminium windows are, or what your design options are, read on.
What Are Aluminium Windows?
As the name implies, aluminium windows are windows that have a frame made of aluminium. They are completely weather-sealed, which minimises dust, draughts, and water intrusions.
Aluminium windows are commonly used in homes and offices. They are used frequently in architecturally designed buildings as they give both the interior and exterior a sleek and modern feel.
Types of Aluminium Windows
There are several different types of aluminium windows. These include:
- Aluminium Bi-Fold Windows: Opens to one side, providing an undisturbed space between frames.
- Aluminium Tilt-Turn Window: Opens on an angle from the top or side of the window .
- Aluminium Sliding Window: Opens by sliding from one side to the other. Most common type of aluminium window.
- Aluminium Casement Window: Hinged on the side and opens outwards.
Aluminium Window Features
Some of the main features of aluminium windows include:
- Ability to retain their colour and not rust
- Availability of various sizes and styles
- Silent, smooth sliding movement
- Availability of a wide range of colours.
If you want more information on aluminium windows or are considering installing them in your building, get in contact with the Magic Glass team. We will be able to answer any questions you may have and point you in the right direction when it comes to installation.
Most building owners and strata managers have probably heard of anchor points. But what are they exactly? And why are they important? Read on to find out.
What are Anchor Points?
An anchor point is a point of attachment for a fall arrest system. They are usually found at the top or on the side of a building and serve as a secure and safe way to ensure that those who are working on elevated surfaces will be protected from any potential falls.
There are three main types of anchor points: surface mount, concrete mount, and temporary anchor points.
Surface mount anchor points are typically found on metal roofs. They are easy to install, attaching directly to the rooftop with screws.
Concrete mount anchor points are designed to be fixed onto concrete surfaces. They are commonly used on high-rise buildings with concrete roofs for abseiling and installation of fall arrest systems.
Temporary anchor points are most commonly used for one-off jobs. They are not suitable for abseiling as they are not as strong as concrete or surface mount anchor points.
Why are Anchor Points Important?
Anchor points are important as they allow for the installation of fall arrest systems. These are systems that prevent injuries and fatalities when people working at-heights fall (such as netting and harnesses).
All building and strata managers have a legal obligation to ensure their building has functional, safe, and certified anchor points that are checked frequently.
For all anchor point installation, certification, and maintenance requirements, contact Magic Glass today. Our Rope Access Division can carry out thorough height safety inspections, ensuring your anchor points are compliant with all relevant Australian standards.
