Custom Glass Installation
in Appleby.

Appleby is a central-east Burlington established residential pocket running along the Appleby Line corridor between the QEW and New Street. The housing here is a steady mix of 1960s and 70s two-storeys with a meaningful share of mid-century bungalows, sitting on regular suburban lots with mature canopy and a clear second renovation cycle running through the area. We install frameless shower enclosures, interior glass railings, and custom mirrors across Appleby, every job backed by our 5-year warranty on labour and 5-year warranty on hardware. Frameless showers from $850 · enclosures from $1,600

Frameless shower enclosures in Appleby

Appleby principal baths are usually mid-range for Burlington — the original builds came with framed tub-shower combos or framed shower stalls, and the current renovation cycle is converting to walk-in frameless arrangements. We do a lot of fixed-and-swing details with a 10mm tempered panel set and chrome, brushed nickel, or matte-black hardware depending on the rest of the room. The framing in older two-storeys is rarely perfectly square, so we site-template every panel rather than ordering from a builder's drawing.

Secondary baths in Appleby often see a frameless slider go over the existing tub — a contained-cost upgrade that reads as a meaningful improvement without disturbing the plumbing. We use 10mm tempered with a bypass slider hardware set.

Glass railings in Appleby

Railing work in Appleby is mostly interior. The two-storey stock here carries original wood-rail-and-spindle stairs that are being replaced steadily with frameless glass as part of broader main-floor renovations. We use a face-mount detail with a steel sub-rail or a base-channel installation depending on the stair construction, sized to the Ontario railing code.

Exterior railings in Appleby are standard inland suburban — rear-deck guards on 12mm tempered with base shoe. The pocket sits behind enough housing density and tree cover that we don't run the lake-facing spec we use closer to the water in Shoreacres or Elizabeth Gardens.

Custom mirrors and partitions in Appleby

Mirror work in Appleby is steady — bath vanity mirrors templated to the cabinet width are the most common request, with the occasional concealed LED perimeter on higher-spec rebuilds. The Appleby Line commercial corridor brings in a small but consistent flow of partition work for retail fit-outs and small office conversions, usually 10mm tempered with stainless or aluminum top and bottom channels.

Why a recent install in Appleby matters

A recent install in Appleby was a 1970s two-storey where the homeowner was opening up the main floor and rebuilding the upstairs principal bath at the same time. The bath went from a framed tub-shower combo to a walk-in frameless enclosure with a fixed-and-swing arrangement; the stair connecting the two floors got a frameless glass railing face-mounted to the existing stringer. Sequencing both scopes in one mobilization meant a single template visit and one install day for two pieces of glass. That kind of joint planning is common in Appleby's renovation cycle.
