Fence Warehouse’s range of Aluminium tubular fencing is made using internally ribbed reinforced rails,  which have been NATA tested & proven to be 45% stronger than rails used by other fencing manufacturers.

Glass fence cleaning is the same as cleaning any other glass. Since there will be many splashes of water on the fence, we use and recommend VITROglaze – a special glass treatment that repels water and therefore reduces your cleaning efforts. VITROglaze is a permanent treatment that prevents the adhesion and buildup of contaminants onto the glass surface. It also provides oil and water repellent properties. Working similar to non-stick cookware your glass becomes easier to clean without the need for harsh chemicals. We can treat the glass for you for a fee or we can supply it with your fence for you to apply to the fence yourself.
