Erindale is the established central pocket of Mississauga that runs along the east side of the Credit River south of Dundas Street West, threading north toward the University of Toronto Mississauga campus and east toward Mavis Road. The neighbourhood mixes 1950s-70s detached homes, mid-century townhouse and apartment infill, and a steady recent wave of detached renovations and small rebuilds. Glass work in Erindale runs to frameless shower enclosures, interior stair railings, and wide vanity mirrors. Every install carries our 5-year workmanship warranty.
What Erindale homes ask of glass
Erindale’s housing stock spans roughly seven decades, with the dominant cohort being 1950s-70s detached homes on 60-to-90-foot interior lots. The 1980s-90s wave brought partial renovations and a meaningful additions cycle. The 2010s-2020s have produced a slower-paced rebuild cycle than the lakefront pockets — Erindale rebuilds tend to be smaller (3,500 to 5,000 sq ft) and more often involve substantial renovations of original homes rather than full tear-downs.
Major streets include Dundas Street West along the south, Mississauga Road along the west boundary running parallel to the Credit River, Burnhamthorpe Road West along the north, and Erindale Station Road as the interior collector. University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) anchors the north-west of the broader area, Erindale Park along the Credit River is the main public green space, and the Credit River valley itself defines the western edge.
Glass projects in Erindale split between renovation work on the original detached homes — primary ensuite re-glass, stair guard upgrades, vanity mirror replacements — and the smaller rebuild work, which gets the full new-build glass suite.
Frameless shower enclosures in Erindale
The Erindale primary ensuite on a renovation is typically a re-worked 9 to 13 square metre bath with a shower zone of 1.2 to 1.6 metres. On a rebuild, the ensuite scales to 14 to 18 square metres with a defined shower of 1.5 to 2.0 metres, a freestanding tub, and a linear drain. Frameless shower glass on renovations is most often a two-panel run with 10 mm tempered, and on rebuilds a three-panel run with 12 mm tempered on fixed panels over 1.1 metres unsupported. Panel heights are 2.1 to 2.3 metres. Pricing for Erindale shower enclosures lands in the mid-to-upper range of our residential band.
Glass railings in Erindale
Interior stair guards are the dominant category in Erindale — open stair plus upper-hall guard runs of 5 to 9 metres combined are typical on the renovated and rebuilt homes. We replace the original 1960s-70s wood-and-spindle balustrades with a frameless or top-railed glass guard, base-shoe anchored to the stair stringer and floor framing. Exterior rear-deck guards are the next category, with standard residential wind load on most lots — Erindale rear yards are well-treed and sheltered.
Custom mirrors and partitions in Erindale
Vanity mirrors in Erindale ensuites run 1.6 to 2.4 metres of continuous mirror across a double-vanity wall on rebuilds and renovations alike. We cut to the wall, polish all edges, and back-mount with adhesive and concealed clips. Basement-gym and dressing-room mirror walls are an occasional secondary category. Partition work in Erindale is mostly water-closet partitions inside the ensuite.
Why a recent install in Erindale matters
A recent install in Erindale was a primary ensuite re-glass on a 1968 side-split that had been substantially renovated in 2024. The new shower zone was 1.5 metres on a curbless layout, with a 1.6-metre fixed panel that we fabricated in 12 mm tempered. The interesting detail was the floor — the original 1968 slab had a slope of about 8 mm across the 1.5-metre run, which the renovation’s tile sub had levelled with a self-levelling underlayment that wasn’t quite flat. We caught the residual variance at template, machined the bottom edge of the fixed panel to a tapered profile that masked the discrepancy, and the panel reads vertically true. Renovations on older homes reward careful templating.

FAQs about glass work in Erindale
Do you serve Erindale?
Yes. Erindale sits inside our core Mississauga service area. We’ve worked across the neighbourhood from Dundas Street West north toward Burnhamthorpe Road West and from Mississauga Road east toward Erindale Station Road.
How long does a frameless shower take in an Erindale home?
About two to three weeks from template to install on a renovation, three to four weeks on a rebuild. Template is the variable — short on a square new-build, longer on a renovated 1960s home.
What glass thickness do you recommend for an Erindale ensuite?
10 mm tempered on standard runs under 1.1 metres unsupported. 12 mm on fixed panels above that. Starphire low-iron is an optional upgrade.
Can you work with the slight floor slope in older Erindale homes?
Yes. 1960s-built homes in Erindale often have minor slab slope or uneven self-levelling underlayment that’s been added during renovation. We measure at template and either machine the bottom edge of the fixed panel to a tapered profile or set the base shoe with shim pack — whichever delivers a vertically true read.
