Frameless Shower Enclosures in Mississauga — Custom Installations Across Peel

Every enclosure is measured by Bojan to the exact millimetre, installed by our own crew, and built from heavy tempered glass with solid brass hardware so the door swings true and seals tight for years. We are fully WSIB insured, never subcontract, and the price we put in writing is the price you pay.

What “frameless” actually means on a Mississauga job

Unlike the framed and semi-frameless units sold at big-box stores, a true frameless shower enclosure has no metal framing along the top or edges of the glass. The panels are structural — typically 10 mm (3/8″) or 12 mm (1/2″) heavy tempered glass — mounted directly to your tile and walls with forged brass hinges and small, discreet clamps. There is no aluminum frame to collect soap scum and no track at the floor to corrode. The glass does the structural work, which is why a frameless install is less forgiving than a framed one.

There is no frame to hide a wall a few millimetres out of plumb or a curb that slopes the wrong way. That is why we template every Mississauga job after the tile is set, and coordinate with your tile contractor on blocking and curb slope beforehand.

Shower configurations we install in Mississauga

• Hinged shower doors (the standard): A single swing door mounted to the wall or an adjacent fixed panel, sized and balanced to your exact opening.
• Corner enclosures (door + return panels): A door panel with one or more return panels to enclose a corner shower, curbed or curbless.
• Walk-in / curbless screens (no door): A single stationary panel that leaves an open walkthrough — the most-requested look in modern Mississauga remodels.
• Sliding (bypass) doors: For tub decks and alcoves with no room for a swing, our frameless sliders run on a top-mounted bar with no grimy bottom track.
• Steam-rated enclosures: Sealed to the ceiling or fitted with an operable transom so the steam generator works as intended — always in 12 mm glass.

10 mm vs 12 mm: the glass spec, explained

We install only heavy structural tempered glass, and we never temper 5 mm or thinner stock. The choice between the two thicknesses is an engineering decision, not an upsell:

• 10 mm (3/8″) tempered: The standard for most Mississauga enclosures — rigid enough to hang as a door on two hinges, heavy enough to close with a solid feel, and the right weight for typical door widths. The majority of our installs — hinged doors, inline panels, walk-in screens — use 10 mm.
• 12 mm (1/2″) tempered: We step up to 12 mm for oversize panels, ceiling-height installs, steam showers, and the long unsupported spans common in Lorne Park and Mineola estate ensuites, where the extra stiffness keeps the glass dead-flat. A 12 mm door is heavier, so it gets heavier-duty hinges.

All of our glass is tempered safety glass certified to the Canadian standard (CAN/CGSB-12.1). If it ever breaks, it crumbles into small, blunt granules instead of shards — which is why it is the only glass that belongs in a shower. Cut-outs for hinges and handles are made before tempering, because tempered glass cannot be cut or drilled afterward. That is why accurate templating matters: the panel that comes out of the oven is the panel that goes on your wall.

Hardware that carries the weight

A 10 mm glass door weighs more than most interior wood doors, and the entire load hangs on two hinges. We use solid forged brass hinges and clamps — not cast zinc — because brass holds its set screws and finish for decades in a wet room. Finishes include matte black, brushed nickel, polished chrome, and brushed brass, so the hardware matches your plumbing fixtures. Clear polycarbonate seals close the gaps at the strike and sill; there is no metal track at the floor, which is why frameless showers stay cleaner than framed ones.

From measurement to install: the realistic timeline

From final template to finished shower, plan on two to three weeks:

1. On-site consultation (week 0): We assess the space, discuss layouts and hardware, and verify the framing behind your tile, then provide an itemized written quote — a fixed price, not an estimate.
2. Laser-precision template (after tile is set): Once your tile is finished, we measure the opening to the millimetre. We never measure off rough openings, because even a 1 mm discrepancy shows up later as a leak or a door that drifts open.
3. Fabrication and tempering (7–10 business days): Your glass is custom-cut, notched, edge-polished, and tempered. This is the longest stage and cannot be rushed — tempering is a one-way process.
4. Installation (a single visit, usually under half a day): Our own crew handles the entire install. Silicone cures overnight, and the shower is ready the next day.

Curbless showers and contractor coordination

A large share of the frameless work we quote in Mississauga is curbless — a level, waterproofed floor with a single glass screen and no threshold to step over. A curbless install lives or dies on what happens before we arrive: the floor slope, the waterproofing membrane, and the wood blocking behind the tile where our hinges and clamps land. So we talk to your contractor or tile setter before tile goes up — confirming blocking locations and checking that any curb is sloped inward so water drains back into the shower. None of this costs extra, and it prevents the two most common failures we get called to fix: doors anchored into tile with nothing behind them, and water escaping along a flat curb.

Where we work in Mississauga

Our heaviest shower work runs through Lorne Park and Mineola, where estate ensuites call for large multi-panel enclosures in 12 mm glass — double doors, notch cuts around benches and niches, and long spans that need the extra stiffness. In Port Credit and Lakeview the work splits between lakefront rebuilds and condos, where templating after tile earns its keep because older walls are rarely plumb. Clarkson, Erin Mills, Churchill Meadows, and Meadowvale bring a steady run of family-ensuite renovations. In Streetsville and Cooksville the most common call is replacing a leaking builder-grade framed unit with a frameless door on the existing base — the highest-impact, lowest-disruption upgrade a 15-year-old bathroom can get, often with no demolition at all.

The Square One and downtown Mississauga condo corridor along Hurontario is its own category of work. The build is straightforward, but the logistics are not: we provide a certificate of insurance for property management, book the service elevator ahead of the install, and confirm panel sizes against elevator and stairwell dimensions before anything is fabricated. A 12 mm panel that fits the bathroom but not the elevator is a fabrication we cannot undo, so we measure that access path as carefully as the shower itself. The install is quiet, dust-free work that fits standard condo work-hour windows.

What a Mississauga frameless enclosure costs

At Lux Glass, homeowners get direct owner-operator pricing with no retail markup. Frameless showers from $850 · enclosures from $1,600 Total investment reflects opening dimensions, glass spec (10mm vs 12mm or Starphire low-iron), and hardware finish. Every quote includes on-site laser templating, solid forged brass hardware, professional installation, and our 5-year warranty on labour and 5-year warranty on hardware.

Standard clear or low-iron glass

Standard tempered glass has a faint green tint, most visible at the edges. Against white marble or pale stone, some clients want it gone — that is what low-iron (Starphire) glass is for. We bring both samples to your consultation so you can judge against your actual finishes. For the full breakdown of where low-iron is worth it, see our low-iron glass guide.
