Custom Glass Installation
in Coronation Park.

Lots are moderate (50 to 70 feet wide), trees are mature, and the housing stock is now well into renovation territory. Glass work here is dominated by frameless shower enclosures in renovated ensuites, interior stair railings replacing original wood spindles, and the occasional lake-facing exterior railing on the homes south of Rebecca. Every install carries our 5-year warranty on labour and 5-year warranty on hardware.

What Coronation Park homes ask of glass

The Coronation Park housing stock is mid-century — built primarily between 1950 and 1970. The original bathrooms are small (1.5 by 2.4 metres typical), the ceilings are 2.4 metres in most of the bungalows, and the structural envelope is dimensional lumber framing with plaster or drywall on lath in the oldest homes. Modern renovations in these homes usually push the ensuite by 1 to 1.5 metres into an adjacent closet or hallway, which opens a 6 to 10 square metre post-renovation footprint that supports a curbless walk-in shower and a double vanity.

Major streets include Rebecca Street along the north, Third Line on the west, Kerr Street to the east, and the lakeshore corridor along the south edge of the municipal park. Inside the boundary, Willowdown Road, Glen Oak Drive, and Patricia Drive are major interior collectors. The T.A. Blakelock High School catchment serves the family base , and the Coronation Park waterfront and its connecting trail to Bronte Beach are the public landmarks.

Frameless shower enclosures in Coronation Park

The Coronation Park shower glass project is mostly a small-to-moderate footprint install. After renovation, the typical shower zone is 1.2 to 1.6 metres long by 0.9 metres wide with a curbless entry. Frameless shower glass is most often a two-panel run — a hinge panel plus a fixed return — with 10 mm tempered as the standard spec. Panel heights are usually 1.9 to 2.1 metres to clear the lower ceilings in the bungalows.

Templating in Coronation Park has a few standard challenges. The wall conditions on the older homes are sometimes plaster on lath rather than drywall — in those cases, we pre-locate clip positions, anchor where possible to actual studs, and back-substrate where the lath sits over a stud-free position. The framing in 1950s bungalows is often dimensional 2x4 lumber that has shifted over 70 years, so we probe for stud locations and don't rely on visual measurements alone.

Glass railings in Coronation Park

Interior stair railings are the main railing category in Coronation Park. The original wood-and-spindle balustrades on most bungalows-with-finished-basements need replacement to a code-compliant guard, and a glass system gives a much cleaner result in the typically narrow stair envelope. The runs are short — usually 2 to 3 metres — but the visual impact of a clean glass guard in a small mid-century home is meaningful.

Exterior railings are a smaller category. A handful of Coronation Park homes south of Rebecca Street have rear yards that face the lake or a clear southern exposure, and those rear-deck or terrace railings benefit from laminated glass on the most exposed runs. Engineer-stamped drawings are available upon request for an additional fee. Projects start from $180 per linear foot installed; the final price depends on the railing system and glass you choose. Aluminum glass railings start from $160 per linear foot installed.

Custom mirrors in Coronation Park

Vanity mirrors in Coronation Park ensuites are smaller than the Oakville average — typically 1.4 to 1.8 metres of continuous mirror across a renovated double-vanity wall, or single 60-by-90 cm pieces in a powder room or hallway bath. We cut to the wall, polish all edges, and back-mount with adhesive and concealed clips. The older the original wall, the more attention the cutting tolerance needs. Custom mirrors start from $28/sqft.

Why a recent install in Coronation Park matters

A recent install in Coronation Park was a 1957 bungalow ensuite renovation. The original 5-foot tub alcove had been converted to a 1.5-metre curbless walk-in shower, but the original ceiling above the bath ran at 2.35 metres — below the modern 2.4-metre default. We cut the fixed glass panel to 2.0 metres rather than the typical 2.1 to leave the visible reveal above the glass clean. The homeowner could have replaced the original ceiling with a dropped soffit, but the original tongue-and-groove pine deck above the plaster was something they wanted to keep visible. Glass work respects what the original house is.
