Aurora

Aurora's executive homes call for glass that performs.

Aurora Highlands, Bayview Wellington, and the Bloomington corridor represent some of the most carefully finished homes in York Region. The executive builds in these neighbourhoods are done to a high specification — large primary suites, open-riser staircases, multi-bathroom floor plans — and the glass installation needs to match. Built By Glass works in Aurora's full range of home types, from heritage renovations near Aurora Village to new estate builds on the north end. Jay measures every project personally and handles the installation directly.

FAQ · Aurora

Common questions from Aurora customers.

Often, yes in terms of size and configuration — but not process. Large primary ensuites in Aurora Highlands or Bayview Wellington frequently have non-standard shower footprints, angled walls, or ceiling heights that require custom panel sizing well beyond what any catalogue kit can accommodate. We measure to the exact finished dimension of your tiled surround and fabricate accordingly. The result is glass that fits as if it was planned from the foundation up, because effectively it is.

Permit requirements for glass railings in Aurora depend on the application. Interior stair guards on a renovation typically require a permit from the Town of Aurora Building Division. Exterior deck and balcony guards also require permits in most cases. We provide OBC-compliant 10mm and 12mm tempered glass, and can supply compliance documentation for your permit application on request.

Yes. Multi-bathroom projects are common in Aurora's larger homes, and coordinating hardware finishes — matte black, brushed nickel, brushed gold, chrome — across showers, mirrors, and railing systems in the same home is something we plan explicitly at the measure visit. We bring hardware samples and confirm finish selections before ordering glass.

Aurora addresses are typically scheduled within 3 business days of contact. Drive time from our Pickering HQ runs 60-80 minutes via the 407 ETR and Highway 404. For Hills of St Andrew estate properties and Aurora Heights custom-build work, we often coordinate multi-room measures into a single longer site visit to template master ensuite, secondary baths, staircase, and mezzanine guards together. Standard fabrication runs 10-14 business days; estate projects with 12mm tempered glass add 5-7 days.

The Town of Aurora Building Division handles permit applications for projects requiring permits — typically exterior glass railings on raised decks exceeding 600mm above grade under Ontario Building Code Section 9.8. We supply OBC compliance documentation, engineering stamps, and shop drawings for the project's architect or general contractor to submit. For interior residential glass installations (frameless showers, mirrors, interior stair railings), no permit applies.
