About Us

Glass FX was founded by Michael Stuart in 2004, with 2 employees. With the popularity of glass fencing and a lot of effort, we have grown to be one of NSW’s premier glass fencing companies.

We are based in Sydney’s inner west in Five Dock, and from there we service all of NSW.

We currently have a team of six professionals and two teams of fully licensed and insured contractors. Our customers are taken care of by one of three Project Managers who are always available to answer any queries or questions.

Over recent years, we as a company has become increasingly concerned with the products being used in frameless glass pool fencing namely the glass gate hardware.

With the popularity of the glass fencing product reaching new heights because of its enhanced safety aspects, unobstructed view of the pool area, difficulty in climbing over glass panels and all round ascetic appeal. During our time in the glass pool fencing industry we found that the gate hardware being used for frameless glass gates were inadequate.

Other glass hinging products were being used that had not been designed to be used in an outdoor environment around a pool.

Three years ago we thought we would try to solve the pool fencing hinge problem, from there Magna – Hinge was born.

Glass FX is very proud with the accomplishments of this new safety hinge, designed and manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions. To date, Magna Hinge is the only glass pool fence hinge that can boast independent Laboratory cycle testing to AS 2820, which is roughly 10,000 non-stop cycles in 10 years in normal domestic pool scenarios.

Magna Hinge was released to the market in November 2009 by Glass Hardware Australia and we are proud to announce our Australian International Design Mark award at the Australian design awards held by Standards Australia in June 2010.

Magna Hinge is proud to be a supporter of The Samuel Morris Foundation who in turn support Children with brain injuries associated with near drowning experiences. Together we both have a common goal: to prevent toddlers from drowning.
