Spigot Glass Balustrade
SPIGOT FRAMELESS GLASS
frameless glass at the pool edge — the water and the deck read as one
Frameless glass at the pool edge — the water and the deck read as one. Spigot glass balustrades use small stainless-steel mounting brackets — point-fixed glass mounts — bolted through the deck or stone cap. Each bottom-pin support grips the glass at two clamping points, leaving the panel edges fully exposed for a near-invisible barrier. No top rail, no bottom channel, no posts. The pin-mount cylinder is the only visible hardware — typically a polished stainless cylinder rising about a hand's-width above the deck surface. Pin-mount frameless balustrades are a common format referenced against Australian pool-fence code. Designed in Guangdong, pins machined and glass tempered in our owned workshop, then crated for export to your site.
Villa & Country Home
Coastal-villa pool surrounds and infinity-edge terraces are the floor-pin balustrade's natural home. Polished 316 stainless against a travertine deck cap — almost no hardware visible past the pin-mount cylinder itself. The glass panel edges are typically polished smooth so the exposed edge reads as glass, not as a cut sheet.
New Home Build
For a new home with a pool surround, terrace edge with a long view, or a stone-cap deck run, spigots are a common choice. A sheet of glass and two small polished cylinders per panel — no top rail to obstruct the view. Most new-home pin-mount orders ship to AU and US west-coast pool projects.
Apartment & Condo
For apartment pool decks and shared-amenity terrace levels, spigots reference AS 1926 pool-fencing requirements. The spigot count, spacing, and glass panel size match the as-built. The pin-mount kit ships with stone-cap shim washers where the deck finish is travertine or porcelain.
Batch Renovation & Multi-Unit Development
When pool decks and terraces repeat across the development, spigot kits ship pre-organized. The spigot count, spacing, and glass panel size match the elevation drawing so the panel layout stays consistent unit to unit.
Spigot Glass Range
| Spigot Type | Mount Method | Glass Edge | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round Core-Drill Spigot | Core-drilled into concrete | Polished exposed edge | Pool decks, slab-edge runs |
| Surface-Flange Spigot | Bolt-through to deck cap | Polished exposed edge | Stone-cap retrofits, wood decks |
| Square Profile Pin-Mount | Core-drill or surface | Polished exposed edge | Contemporary stone-deck projects |
| 316 Pool Spigot | Core-drill into pool deck | Polished + safety-tempered | AS 1926 pool fence runs |
About Our Spigot Glass Balustrades
For the villa owner planning a pool-deck or terrace edge in frameless glass, and the pool builder or contractor coordinating it. Double Building Materials makes spigot glass balustrade systems for the maximum-glass, minimum-hardware read. Point-fixed glass railing is the format for owners who want to see glass, not metal. Frameless pin-mount orders typically ship to AU pool-deck owners and US west-coast resort projects. Floor-pin balustrade kits cover round, square, core-drill, and surface-flange variants. Finish is brushed or mirror-polished stainless. Grade is 304 for inland deck-edge and 316 for pool-fence runs that reference AS 1926.
Each spigot kit ships with the pin bodies pre-machined to clamp the glass thickness in your spec. The kit also includes glass-edge fixing fittings (set screws, gaskets, decorative covers) and tempered glass panels cut and polished for exposed-edge installation. Two spigots per panel is the standard. Corner-panel layouts add a third pin at the return. Send a pool-deck plan or a terrace elevation. The engineering team returns shop drawings with the spigot count, the spigot spacing, the bolt-into-concrete schedule, and the glass cut sheet. The setting block at the panel base lets the installer plumb each panel once the spigots sit bolted. Same install logic as embedded U-channel, but at the panel level rather than the run level. After delivery, your contractor or installer handles fitting. We provide an assembly guide and a step-by-step video. Where local installation is available in your region, we help you find a vetted installer.

How to Spec Spigot Glass for Your Pool or Terrace
The owner view: what to measure, what to send, and how to settle the substrate and code questions before we draw.
- Measure the deck-edge run. Pool surround perimeter, terrace edge length, return corners — that sets the panel count and the spigot spacing.
- Send a pool-deck plan or terrace elevation. A landscape plan, a phone photo of the pool surround, or a CAD plan from your pool builder.
- Pick the pin profile. Round for the visual default and easiest-to-clean read; square where the deck cap is also square-edged stone.
- Decide the mount. Core-drill for the cleanest flush detail and highest pullout rating. Surface-flange where bolting through deck cap or stone is the only option. Surface-flange with backing plate for wood-deck installs.
- Tell us the code path. AU pool-fence projects: flag AS 1926 so the drawing carries the vertical-gap and non-climb spacing. US west-coast resort projects: tell us the jurisdiction.
- Send it through. We return shop drawings with the spigot count, spacing, bolt-into-concrete schedule, and the glass cut sheet. Your pool builder or contractor can install as drawn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do spigots need to core-drill into concrete, or can they bolt to wood deck?
Both work. Core-drill is cleaner — the spigot sits flush with the slab — and gives a higher pullout rating. Surface-flange variants bolt through a deck cap or stone surface, with the flange visible. Wood-deck installs use the surface-flange variant with a backing plate under the deck.
How is the glass panel plumbed after the pin is bolted?
Each pin body has a set-screw adjuster that grips the glass through a rubber gasket. The installer drops the panel into both pin housings, levels with a small plumb bob, then tightens the set screws. A decorative cover slides down the cylinder to hide the screws and the gasket.
Is the spigot system referenced against Australian pool-fencing code?
Shop drawings reference AS 1926 vertical-gap and non-climb spacing requirements; your local certifier signs off on the as-built. We supply the drawing set that supports the inspection.
If a glass panel breaks, can a single panel be replaced?
Yes — that's a major reason buyers prefer point-fixed over base-channel. Slide the decorative cover off, release the set screws on both pin bodies, lift the broken panel out. Drop in the replacement panel, re-plumb, re-tighten. We keep your panel cut sizes on file for fast replacement orders.
Round or square pin-mount — which holds up better outdoors?
Both perform the same structurally. Round is the visual default, easier to keep clean, and what most pool builders quote. Square is the architectural choice when the deck cap is also square-edged stone — the pin profile picks up the geometry of the deck.
