Thornhill has heritage streets near the old village and newer subdivisions beyond them, so a pool fence needs to suit its surroundings in addition to the pool itself. Art Metal Workshop makes glass pool fences for properties of every age, built around your yard’s layout.
Glass keeps the water in view without a row of pickets between you and it, whether the pool is in a private backyard or shared at a condo. Panels are tempered or laminated safety glass, and the design follows Ontario Building Code requirements.
We build each fence to your measurements in our workshop, using corrosion-resistant hardware.
Parts of Thornhill sit inside designated heritage conservation districts. Under Ontario’s heritage conservation district rules, an owner in one of these districts needs a municipal permit to build a new structure or make exterior changes to the property, unless the district plan lists the change as minor. Whether a pool glass fence falls under that, and what the plan says about fencing, is for the municipality to confirm, so ask before anything is ordered. The Thornhill Historical Society lists the district plans on its website.
Pool glass fence projects reach every part of Thornhill, from Thornhill Village to Brownridge, Uplands, Royal Orchard, German Mills, and Bayview Glen. Metal pool fences in Thornhill and privacy glass railings in Thornhill each have their own page.
Once the municipality confirms it has a complete application, it has 90 days, or a longer period you both agree to, to grant or refuse the permit. If it does neither in that time, the permit is treated as granted. Plan your fabrication date around that window.
A wipe-down with standard glass cleaner keeps the glass clean, and the powder-coated hardware needs little to no upkeep.
The panels are tempered or laminated safety glass, engineered to withstand impacts while still serving as a secure barrier.
Design, glass type, and project scope set the price, and site conditions and finish also play a part. Installation is priced separately from the fence itself, and if posts need to be dug and cemented into the ground, that adds a charge. Once we’ve reviewed your space, you get an estimate for your project specifically.
