Longmoor sits in south-east Burlington between New Street and Lakeshore Road, west of Appleby Line. It’s one of the city’s mature established residential pockets — mostly 1960s and 70s two-storeys and a smaller share of mid-century bungalows on regular suburban lots, with the second renovation cycle now running through the homes here. We install frameless shower enclosures, interior glass railings, and custom mirrors across Longmoor, every job backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
The neighbourhood character is quiet and well-treed — mature canopy, walkable streets, Nelson High School in the catchment for most of the area . The streets running south toward Lakeshore are closer to the lake-facing exposure we plan for in Shoreacres; the streets running north toward New Street are more sheltered inland suburban. We adjust the railing spec accordingly.
Frameless shower enclosures in Longmoor
Longmoor principal baths are mid-range for Burlington in size. The renovation cycle we see here is pulling out the original framed shower or the 1990s framed neo-angle and going to a walk-in frameless arrangement — usually a fixed-and-swing detail with 10mm tempered glass and modern hardware. The bath rebuilds in Longmoor often pair with broader main-floor renovations, so the glass scope is one piece of a wider renovation package rather than a standalone job.
Secondary baths in Longmoor frequently get a frameless slider over the existing tub — the kids’ bath stays a tub but the framed slider gets pulled out and replaced with a clean frameless detail at 10mm tempered.
Glass railings in Longmoor
Railing work in Longmoor splits between interior stairs and rear-deck guards, with the spec on the deck side dependent on where the property sits within the pocket. Interior work is straightforward — original wood balustrades being replaced with frameless glass, 12mm tempered, sized to the Ontario railing code.
On the rear-deck side, properties closer to Lakeshore Road can pick up moderate lake-facing wind exposure. For these homes we look at the actual setback from the water, the height of the deck, and the tree-break protection on the lot before settling on the glass spec. Sheltered lots in the interior of the pocket use standard 10mm tempered with base shoe; lots with more exposure step to laminated tempered for the long-term reliability.
Custom mirrors and partitions in Longmoor
Mirror work in Longmoor is steady — bath vanity mirrors templated to the cabinet width, with the occasional concealed LED perimeter on higher-spec rebuilds. We do dining-area and entry-wall feature mirrors as part of broader main-floor refreshes, and the occasional basement gym wall in finished basements that have been built out as full living levels.
Why a recent install in Longmoor matters
A recent install in Longmoor was a principal-bath rebuild in a 1970s two-storey on one of the lake-side streets. The bath went from a framed tub-shower combo to a walk-in frameless enclosure with a fixed inline and a swing return, 10mm tempered, matte-black hardware. The same project added a rear-deck railing — the deck sat closer to Lakeshore than the rest of the street and the front-row tree cover was thinning, so we ran the wind load and ended up at 12mm laminated for the deck side. Combining the bath and the railing in one mobilization saved a separate site survey and install day, and it’s a common joint-scope pattern in Longmoor.

FAQ
Do you serve Longmoor?
Yes. Longmoor is part of our regular south-east Burlington run, and most quotes we book here happen inside a week.
How long does a frameless shower install take in a Longmoor home?
A standard principal-bath frameless enclosure is typically a one-day install, scheduled about two to three weeks after site template.
What kind of glass do you recommend for a Longmoor rear deck?
For sheltered interior-pocket lots, standard 10mm tempered with base shoe covers the spec. For lots closer to Lakeshore with less wind break, we recommend stepping to laminated tempered. We assess the site at quote.
Can you do the bath and the deck railing together?
Yes — we routinely sequence bath enclosures and rear-deck railings in one mobilization in Longmoor. One template visit, one install day, two pieces of glass.
