Custom Glass Installation
in Lawrence Manor.
The Lawrence Manor housing stock is dominated by 1950s-1960s detached and bungalow originals — typically 1,800 to 3,000 sq ft on 50 to 70 foot lots, single or two-storey, with original primary baths of 4 to 7 square metres. The current cycle pushes those originals either into additions of 1,200 to 2,200 sq ft or replaces them entirely with tear-down rebuilds of 4,000 to 5,500 sq ft on the same lots.

Lawrence Manor is the north Toronto pocket west of Yonge between Lawrence Avenue West and Wilson Heights, threading along Bathurst Street and bordering the Yorkdale Mall area to the west. The housing reads as a mix of 1950s-1960s detached and bungalow originals with a steady current cycle of major additions and tear-down rebuilds. We install frameless shower enclosures, glass railings, and custom mirrors across Lawrence Manor, every job backed by our 5-year warranty on labour and 5-year warranty on hardware. 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.
What Lawrence Manor homes ask of glass
Major streets anchoring the neighbourhood include Bathurst Street on the east, Lawrence Avenue West on the south, Glen Park Avenue threading east-west, Saranac Boulevard and Marwill Street on the residential interior. The Yorkdale Mall border defines the western edge along Lawrence Heights, and Allen Road threads along the western boundary. The glass work pattern reflects the renovation cycle — full tear-down rebuilds get the complete glass suite, additions get an ensuite-plus-stair package, and original bungalows get smaller projects.
Frameless shower enclosures in Lawrence Manor
The Lawrence Manor primary ensuite on a tear-down rebuild is 12 to 18 square metres with a defined shower zone of 1.6 to 2.0 metres on the long axis, often with a freestanding tub. Frameless shower glass is a three-panel run with 12 mm tempered standard for fixed panels over 1.1 metres unsupported. Panel heights run 2.2 to 2.4 metres on the rebuilds.
On a renovation of an original 1960s bungalow, the ensuite is 6 to 10 square metres with a 1.2 to 1.4 metre shower zone, 10 mm tempered standard with a two-panel fixed-and-swing run. Frameless showers from $850 · enclosures from $1,600
Glass railings in Lawrence Manor
Interior stair railings on the rebuild stock are the largest category. Open stair runs of 4 to 6 metres with upper-hall guards adding 3 to 5 metres, base-shoe anchored to the new stringer. On the renovated bungalow stock the upgrade is usually a basement-stair frameless guard or a back-deck rail rather than a full interior stair, since most original bungalows are single-storey.
Exterior rear-deck guards are a steady secondary category. Lawrence Manor rear yards are well-treed and standard residential wind load applies. Typical runs are 6 to 10 metres of 12 mm tempered with base-shoe.

Explore →Custom mirrors in Lawrence Manor
Vanity mirrors in Lawrence Manor ensuites are wide on the rebuilds — 2.2 to 2.8 metres of continuous mirror across a double-vanity wall. On the renovated bungalow stock, widths are 1.2 to 1.8 metres. We cut to the wall, polish all edges, and back-mount with adhesive and concealed clips. Concealed LED perimeter strips are a regular upgrade on the rebuilds.
Why a recent install in Lawrence Manor matters
A recent install in Lawrence Manor was on a 1958 bungalow on Saranac Boulevard that had been gut-renovated with a 1,400 sq ft second-storey addition. The new primary ensuite was on the addition floor at 10 square metres with a 1.4-metre shower zone. The challenge was the transition between the original 1958 ground-floor framing and the new 2024 second-storey framing — the addition designer had specified an aligned floor plate, but the actual built condition put the addition floor 8 mm proud of the original floor at the stair landing. We adjusted the base-shoe of the upper-hall guard during template to follow the actual as-built plane rather than the design intent. The guard reads dead-level across the visible run, and the 8 mm transition reads as a clean trim detail at the stair head.
