Are glass fences/balustrade safe?

It’s natural to worry about the safety of glass fences, especially if you’re installing one in a garden where kids (young and old enough to know better) are larking around. But thanks to their construction, glass fences are incredibly safe. They’re made with toughened safety glass, similar to the glass used in car windows. This means stray footballs are no match for your glass fence. What’s more, using a glass fence on a raised area such as a terrace is safer than other high visibility options such as wire fencing because there are no gaps to fall through.
