Lux Glass Inc. is owner-operated from Oakville. Frameless showers from $1,600 (single door from $850), glass stair and deck railings from $160/LF (aluminum) or $220/LF (frameless spigot) — 5-year warranty on labour and 5-year warranty on hardware.
Strathcona Gardens sits in central-north Burlington, north of the QEW between Guelph Line and Walkers Line. It’s an established residential pocket built mostly through the late 1970s and 1980s, with executive two-storeys on regular suburban lots and the housing turnover bringing newer families into homes that have aged through a full generation of ownership. We install frameless shower enclosures, interior glass railings, and custom mirrors across Strathcona Gardens, every job backed by our 5-year warranty on labour and 5-year warranty on hardware.
The neighbourhood character is mature suburban — quiet streets, mature canopy from the original build cycle, and M.M. Robinson High School pulling families into the area. Most of the work we get called for here is interior renovation tied to the 1980s housing stock — bath rebuilds, stair-railing replacements, and the occasional pool-perimeter glass.
Frameless shower enclosures in Strathcona Gardens
The original builds carried a mix of tub-shower combos and small framed corner-stall showers, and the current renovation cycle is converting to walk-in frameless arrangements. We do fixed-and-swing details with a 10mm tempered panel set as the most common configuration, plus the occasional three-panel arrangement in the larger principal baths.
Hardware finishes here are a balanced mix of brushed nickel and matte black on current rebuilds. Every panel is templated on site: framing in a 1980s two-storey is rarely perfectly square, and the original tile job usually hides how far off it is — a stock-size panel would not sit cleanly.
Glass railings in Strathcona Gardens
Most railing calls in Strathcona Gardens are for the interior stair. The two-storey stock here carries original wood-rail-and-spindle stairs that are being replaced steadily with frameless glass. We use 12mm tempered with a face-mount or base-channel detail depending on the stair construction, sized to the Ontario railing code.
Exterior railings here are typical inland suburban — rear-deck guards on 12mm tempered with base shoe. The occasional pool perimeter on the larger lots uses 12mm tempered glass on Duplex 2205 marine-grade spigots, the spec we use for pools and exterior work.
Custom mirrors and partitions in Strathcona Gardens
The mirror we make most often in Strathcona Gardens is a bath vanity mirror cut to the width of the cabinet; higher-spec rebuilds sometimes add a concealed LED perimeter. Custom mirrors in Burlington start from $28/sqft. We do dining-area and entry-wall feature mirrors as part of broader main-floor refreshes.
Why a recent install in Strathcona Gardens matters
A recent install in Strathcona Gardens was a 1980s two-storey where the homeowner was rebuilding the principal bath and refreshing the main-floor stair. The bath went from a framed corner-stall shower to a walk-in frameless enclosure with a fixed-and-swing arrangement, and the stair carried a new frameless glass railing face-mounted to the existing stringer. Matching the hardware finish across both rooms — matte black on the bath, matching matte-black face-mount fittings on the stair — tied the renovation together visually. Sequencing both scopes in one mobilization saved a separate template visit and install day.

FAQ
Do you serve Strathcona Gardens?
Yes. Strathcona Gardens is part of our regular central-north Burlington run, and most quotes we book here happen inside a week.
How long does a frameless shower install take in a Strathcona Gardens 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 1980s Strathcona Gardens home?
For most bath rebuilds we recommend 10mm tempered as the base spec with a fixed-and-swing arrangement. Site templating is part of every quote because the framing in 1980s two-storeys is rarely perfectly square.
Can you match the hardware across a bath and a stair?
Yes — matching the hardware finish across a bath enclosure and a stair railing is a common request, and we coordinate the order so both pieces of glass arrive with the same hardware spec.
