There is no frame to hide a bad cut, no cover strip to hide a gap and no post to hide a wall that is out of plumb. Every panel shows exactly how carefully it was measured and how patiently it was installed. That is why we like it. Isidone focuses on the work where that care shows most: frameless pool fencing, glass balustrades, shower screens, mirrors and wardrobe glass, internal glass walls and the repeated details of hotels and apartment projects. ### How we work You deal with the person who measures and installs your glass. We come to your site, measure properly, explain the options and any rules that apply in plain words, and give you a written quote. Glass is made to order, installed, adjusted and cleaned, and we walk you through it before we leave. We work for homeowners, builders, designers and hotels across Greater Sydney, from a single shower screen in a family bathroom to a run of balustrades on a harbourside terrace. ## Services (https://isidone.com.au/services/) ### Glass pool fencing (https://isidone.com.au/services/frameless-glass-pool-fencing/) A pool fence you barely notice: clear toughened glass panels, a self-closing glass gate and slim hardware, set out to the rules that keep children safe. #### The invisible wall around your pool A pool fence is a safety barrier first, but it is also the frame around the best view in your backyard. Frameless glass gives you both: thick toughened panels held at the base by stainless steel spigots or set into a recessed channel, with no top rail and no posts breaking the line. From the house you see water, garden and sky, not a fence. We measure every run on site, check the ground the fence sits on (tiles, concrete, timber decking or garden beds), and plan the panel layout so the gaps, the gate swing and the joins look deliberate. The result is a fence that looks like it was designed with the pool, not added after it. #### Built around the NSW pool barrier rules In NSW a pool barrier must follow the Australian Standard for swimming pool safety, AS 1926.1. In plain terms the barrier is at least 1200 mm high, gaps are no wider than 100 mm, the outside of the fence keeps a 900 mm non-climbable zone clear of footholds such as pot plants, steps and furniture, and the gate swings away from the pool, closes by itself and latches by itself. Those rules matter when you sell or lease. A contract for sale needs the pool registration certificate plus a certificate of compliance, an occupation certificate under three years old, or a certificate of non-compliance; a certificate of compliance lasts three years. We set out the fence with the certifier's checklist in mind and walk you through the non-climbable zone before we leave. #### Spigots, channel or face fixed Spigots are core-drilled into the slab or bolted to a footing and suit most surfaces. A channel recessed into the paving hides the fixing completely for the cleanest line. Face-fixed standoff pins mount the glass to the side of a raised edge or retaining wall, which keeps the walking surface clear. We recommend the fixing after we have seen the site, and we explain the trade-offs in cost, look and maintenance. Low-iron glass is worth asking about. Standard clear glass has a faint green tint that shows on thick panels and on the edges; low-iron glass removes most of it, so the fence reads as crystal clear next to white render, pale stone and blue water. Included: - Free on-site measure and written quote - Clear toughened safety glass panels and a self-closing, self-latching glass gate - Spigot, channel or face-fixed mounting chosen for your site - Low-iron glass on request - Layout set out to AS 1926.1, the NSW pool barrier standard - Clean-up and a walk-through of the non-climbable zone ### Glass balustrades (https://isidone.com.au/services/glass-balustrades/) Keep the harbour, the ocean or the garden in full view from every step, with a balustrade that is as quiet as it is strong. #### A barrier that does not block the view A balcony is only as good as what you can see from it. Glass balustrades replace bulky timber, steel pickets and wire with clear panels, so the line of sight from a lounge, a bedroom or a rooftop terrace runs straight out to the view. Inside, glass on a staircase or a void lets daylight move through the house instead of stopping at a wall. We install balustrades on balconies, decks, terraces, pool surrounds, staircases and mezzanines, in frameless styles held by spigots, channel or standoff pins, and in styles with a slim stainless or timber handrail on top. #### What the building code asks for The National Construction Code sets the basics for barriers in homes. Where a floor, balcony or deck is high enough to need a barrier, it is generally at least 1 m high, or 865 mm along the line of a stair, and no opening may let a 125 mm sphere pass through. Glass in a balustrade must be safety glass designed for the load it carries. Whether a handrail is needed depends on the glass, the fixing and the height of the fall. Some frameless designs need an engineer's design; others need an interlinking handrail. We talk through the options on site and tell you plainly what your balcony needs, so the result passes inspection and still looks the way you want. #### Finishes that suit the house Hardware comes in polished or satin stainless steel and in black, bronze and other powder-coated finishes. Clear, low-iron and tinted glass are all options, as is a frosted or patterned panel where privacy matters more than the view. Coastal homes need marine-grade hardware and a little more care; we will tell you how to keep it looking new in the salt air. Included: - Free on-site measure and written quote - Frameless, semi-frameless and handrailed designs - Spigot, channel and standoff fixing - Balconies, terraces, decks, stairs and voids - Clear, low-iron, tinted and frosted glass - Marine-grade hardware options for coastal homes ### Shower screens (https://isidone.com.au/services/frameless-shower-screens/) The finishing piece of a good bathroom: clear glass, minimal hardware and a door that swings, seals and closes exactly as it should. #### Glass that shows off the tiles You chose the stone, the tiles and the tapware. A frameless shower screen lets you see them. With no frame around the glass, the screen is just clear panels, hinges and a handle, so the bathroom looks bigger, brighter and easier to clean. Semi-frameless screens keep a slim frame on some edges and suit tighter budgets and older bathrooms where the walls are not perfectly square. Every screen is made to measure. We measure once the tiles are finished, because a few millimetres decide whether the door swings freely and the seals sit tight. We check the falls of the floor, where the water lands, and which way the door should open for the room. #### Layouts for every bathroom Fixed walk-in panels, hinged doors, sliding doors, corner screens, three-sided enclosures and screens over a bath are all possible, as are tall screens that run to the ceiling for a steam-room feel. Hardware is available in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, brushed brass and gunmetal to match your tapware. Glass in a shower must be safety glass. Clear and low-iron glass are the most popular, with frosted, fluted and tinted glass for privacy or a bit of character. An easy-clean coating helps water bead and run off, which means less scrubbing in a hard-water home. #### For homes, builders and hotels We fit single screens for renovators and whole runs of bathrooms for builders, apartment projects and boutique hotels, where every room needs to look the same and work the same. Talk to us early in a project and we will plan the measure and install around your tilers and plumbers. Included: - Measure after tiling, made to measure - Frameless and semi-frameless screens - Hinged, sliding, fixed, corner and over-bath layouts - Hardware to match your tapware - Clear, low-iron, frosted, fluted and tinted glass - Single bathrooms to whole projects ### Mirrors and wardrobes (https://isidone.com.au/services/mirrors-and-wardrobes/) Turn a bedroom wall into a mirror, a walk-in robe into a boutique and a vanity into the brightest spot in the house. #### Mirrors cut for the space A mirror is the simplest way to double the light in a room. We cut mirrors to the exact size of the wall, the vanity or the alcove: full-height dressing mirrors, mirror walls for a home gym or a dance room, vanity mirrors set between cabinetry, and mirrors with polished, bevelled or rounded edges. Large mirrors are heavy and unforgiving on uneven walls, so we fix them properly to suit the wall behind, keep the reflection true and finish the edges cleanly. #### Glass wardrobe doors and display robes Glass doors turn a wardrobe from storage into a feature. Tinted bronze or grey glass in a slim frame lets you glimpse what is inside without showing everything; clear glass with lighting turns a walk-in robe into a display for shoes, bags and watches; mirrored sliding doors make a small bedroom feel twice its size. We work with your joiner or cabinet maker on the gaps, the hinges or sliding tracks and the order of works, so the glass arrives when the cabinetry is ready and the doors close softly and evenly. #### Hotel rooms and apartments Mirrors and wardrobe glass are often repeated room after room in hotels and apartment buildings. We can supply and fit the same detail across a whole project and replace a single damaged mirror without disturbing the rest. Included: - Mirrors cut to size with polished, bevelled or shaped edges - Full-height and wall-to-wall mirrors - Vanity and bathroom mirrors - Clear, tinted and mirrored wardrobe doors - Coordination with your joiner - One-off rooms to whole projects ### Glass walls and doors (https://isidone.com.au/services/glass-partitions-and-doors/) Separate a study, a wine room or a dining room without losing the light, with clear or framed glass walls and doors. #### Divide the room, keep the light Open-plan living is bright but loud. A glass wall gives a study, a home office, a wine room or a dining room its own space and quiet while daylight still travels through the house. Clear frameless glass almost disappears; black framed screens with slim bars give a warehouse or heritage look that suits terraces and modern homes alike. Doors can be hinged, pivoting or sliding, in frameless glass or matching framed panels, with seals where sound matters. #### Planned around your build Glass walls need a level floor, a sound ceiling or bulkhead to fix to, and a plan for power points, switches and air conditioning returns. In a renovation we look at these on the first visit. In a new build we work from the drawings with your builder so the framing and the fixings are ready when the glass arrives. Offices, clinics, showrooms and hotel lobbies use the same approach at a bigger scale: glass meeting rooms, reception screens and partitions that keep the space feeling open while giving people privacy where they need it, with frosted manifestation where people could walk into clear glass. Included: - Frameless and framed glass walls - Hinged, pivot and sliding glass doors - Wine rooms, studies, offices and dining rooms - Clear, frosted, fluted and tinted glass - Work from drawings with your builder - Homes, offices, clinics and showrooms ### Hotel and commercial glass (https://isidone.com.au/services/hotel-and-commercial-glass/) Guests notice glass when it is wrong. We make sure they only notice the view, the room and the light. #### One standard, every room Hotels, serviced apartments and luxury residential projects repeat the same details dozens of times: shower screens, vanity mirrors, wardrobe doors, balcony balustrades and the glass around the pool deck. Guests compare rooms, so every screen needs to sit the same way, every mirror needs the same edge and every door needs to close with the same soft click. We work from your drawings and schedules, measure room by room, and install in the order your builder or fit-out manager needs, so floors can be handed over as they are finished. #### Lobbies, bars, restaurants and offices Glass shapes how a hospitality space feels: a glass-walled wine room behind the bar, glass screens between dining areas, a mirror wall that doubles a lounge, a balustrade around a mezzanine or a rooftop pool. In offices it gives meeting rooms privacy without closing them off. Commercial spaces stay open while we work. We plan noisy and dusty work for quiet hours where we can, protect finished surfaces and clean up each day, and we keep the site manager informed so the venue can keep trading. #### Ongoing care Glass in a busy venue gets knocked, chipped and scratched. We can replace a single damaged panel or mirror to match the original, adjust doors and hinges that have dropped, and replace worn seals before they leak. Included: - Shower screens, mirrors and wardrobe doors room by room - Balustrades and pool fencing for decks and rooftops - Glass walls, wine rooms and screens for lobbies and bars - Work from drawings and schedules, staged handovers - Out-of-hours work where needed - Replacement panels, adjustments and seals ## Areas served (https://isidone.com.au/areas/) - Northern Beaches: Manly, Dee Why, Collaroy, Mona Vale, Newport, Avalon Beach, Palm Beach, Frenchs Forest.

If you are unsure about your suburb, call Isidone and ask. **How do I get a quote from Isidone?** Call Isidone on 0456 611 703 or send the form on the contact page with a few details and photos of the space. Isidone then measures on site in Sydney, talks through the options and gives you a written quote for the glass, hardware and installation. **How much does frameless glass cost in Sydney?** The price of frameless glass in Sydney depends on the size and number of panels, the glass (clear, low-iron, tinted or frosted), the hardware finish, how it is fixed and how easy the site is to reach. Isidone gives a written quote after measuring, so the price is for your job, not an estimate. **How long does it take to install frameless glass?** Toughened safety glass cannot be cut after it is toughened, so each panel is made to order after Isidone measures your Sydney site. Installation itself is often a day or two for a home, longer for large projects. Isidone gives you the expected timing with the quote. **Why can't toughened glass be cut on site?** Toughened glass is heat-treated after it is cut and shaped, which makes it much stronger and makes it break into small pieces rather than sharp shards. Cutting or drilling it afterwards would shatter it, so Isidone measures every Sydney job precisely before the glass is made. **How do I keep frameless glass clean?** Wipe frameless glass with a soft cloth or squeegee and a mild glass cleaner, and rinse salt and pool water off often. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals on glass and hardware. Isidone shows you how to look after your glass and hardware when it hands over a Sydney job. **How high does a glass pool fence need to be in NSW?** In NSW a pool barrier must be at least 1200 mm high under AS 1926.1, with gaps no wider than 100 mm and a 900 mm non-climbable zone on the outside. Isidone sets out every Sydney glass pool fence to these rules and points out anything nearby that could be used to climb it. **Does a frameless glass pool fence need a certificate to sell my house?** Yes. When you sell a property with a pool in NSW, the contract needs the pool registration certificate plus a certificate of compliance, an occupation certificate under three years old, or a certificate of non-compliance. Isidone builds Sydney glass pool fences with the certifier's checklist in mind so the inspection is straightforward. **Is low-iron glass worth it for a pool fence?** Low-iron glass removes most of the green tint that ordinary clear glass shows on thick panels and edges, so it looks clearer beside white render, pale stone and blue water. It costs more than standard clear glass. Isidone can quote both on your Sydney pool fence so you can compare. **How high does a glass balustrade need to be?** Under the National Construction Code a balcony or deck barrier in a home is generally at least 1 m high, or 865 mm along the line of a stair, and no gap may let a 125 mm sphere through. Isidone designs every Sydney glass balustrade to these rules and confirms what your site needs at the measure. **Does a frameless glass balustrade need a handrail?** It depends on the glass, the way it is fixed and the height of the fall. Some frameless glass balustrades need an engineer's design or an interlinking handrail. Isidone checks this on site in Sydney and explains the options before quoting, so there are no surprises at inspection. **When should a frameless shower screen be measured?** A frameless shower screen is measured after the tiling is finished, because the final wall and floor surfaces decide the exact glass sizes. Isidone measures Sydney bathrooms once the tiler is done and then makes each screen to fit, so the door swings freely and the seals sit tight. **What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless shower screens?** A frameless shower screen uses thicker toughened glass held by hinges and clamps with no frame around it, for the cleanest look. A semi-frameless screen keeps a slim frame on some edges, costs less and suits older Sydney bathrooms with walls that are not square. Isidone installs both. **Can you cut a mirror to fit an exact wall or alcove?** Yes. Isidone measures the wall, vanity or alcove in your Sydney home and has the mirror cut to that exact size, with polished, bevelled or rounded edges, then fixes it to suit the wall behind so the reflection stays true. **Do glass wardrobe doors work with my joiner's cabinetry?** Yes. Isidone works with your joiner or cabinet maker in Sydney on the gaps, hinges or sliding tracks and the timing, so the glass wardrobe doors are made to the finished cabinetry and close evenly. **Can a glass wall go into an existing home?** Usually, yes. A glass wall needs a level floor and a sound ceiling or bulkhead to fix to. Isidone checks the floor, ceiling, switches and air conditioning on the first visit to your Sydney home and explains any work needed before the glass is made. **Are black framed glass walls real steel?** Black framed glass walls are usually slim aluminium frames with a black finish that gives the look of steel at a lower weight and cost. Isidone can show you the frame and glass options for your Sydney home or office at the measure. **Can Isidone work on a hotel that stays open?** Yes. Isidone plans hotel and commercial glazing in Sydney so venues can keep trading: noisy and dusty work in quiet hours where possible, finished surfaces protected, daily clean-up, and regular updates for the site or fit-out manager. **Does Isidone take on whole apartment or hotel projects?** Yes. Isidone measures and installs shower screens, mirrors, wardrobe glass, balustrades and glass walls room by room for Sydney hotel and apartment projects, working from the drawings and staging the work so floors can be handed over as they are finished.
