No rust, no rot

Aluminum does not absorb moisture, so freeze-thaw cycles do not crack or warp it. There is no wood to rot and no steel to rust.

Low upkeep

Slats need only an occasional rinse to stay clean. The PrimeAlux limited warranty asks for documented cleaning twice per year, following the PrimeAlux cleaning instructions.

Finish

Panels carry a UV-resistant 3-layer and powder coating, so there is nothing to paint or stain.

Recycled content

PrimeAlux panels contain up to 70% recycled aluminum content.

Burlington: Two Zoning By-laws and Delivery

These points come from the City of Burlington. Rules change, so confirm with the City before you order.

Two zoning by-laws are in force

Council passed Residential Zoning By-law 09-2026 on March 2, 2026. It replaces Zoning By-law 2020 only on the residential lands shown on its Schedule A, so Zoning By-law 2020 still applies elsewhere. The two set different fence heights, and we have not checked which one covers a given lot. Ask the City which by-law governs your property.

Heights under By-law 09-2026

The new by-law sets a maximum fence height of 2.5 m for all residential uses. In a front yard the limit is 1.2 m within 3 m of the front lot line, except where a front yard abuts the rear yard of a corner lot, which allows 2.5 m along the common lot line within 3 m of the front lot line. For a townhouse building, the limit is 1.2 m within 3 m of a lot line abutting a public street. Height is measured to the highest point of each 3 m section of fence, excluding decorative post caps.

Heights under Zoning By-law 2020

A City handout for Zoning By-law 2020 gives a maximum fence height of 2.0 m, with 1.2 m within 3 m of the street line (lot line) in a front yard and 2.0 m for the corner-lot exception. Where grade varies, the handout allows up to 2.3 m. The handout dates from 2021, so it may not reflect later changes.

Pool fences: metal fencing rules

Pool Enclosure By-law 74-2005 requires a permit from the Chief Building Official. For a single-family or semi-detached home, wrought iron or other metal type fencing must extend from the ground for a height of not less than 1.5 m and not more than 2.0 m, with horizontal rails more than 1.2 m apart vertically and openings between vertical members not exceeding 100 mm. The City’s PDF may predate later amendments, and you should ask the City how these requirements apply to a specific panel design.

Named communities and character areas

The Official Plan (Part III, last updated December 2019) names Alton and Orchard as communities with their own policies. It also defines Roseland as a Neighbourhood Character Area with a garden-like setting, large mature trees and strong historic character, and Indian Point as a historic one defined by its lakeside location, few streets and a large mature tree canopy.

Aluminum Fence in Burlington: FAQ

How tall can a fence be in Burlington?

It depends on which zoning by-law covers your lot. Residential Zoning By-law 09-2026 allows 2.5 m, with 1.2 m within 3 m of a front lot line, while Zoning By-law 2020 allows 2.0 m, with 1.2 m within 3 m of the street line in a front yard. Ask the City which one applies to your property before you order.

Do I need a permit for an aluminum fence in Burlington?

The City says you can build a fence without a permit, but certain regulations apply, and its handout says fences are not permitted on City-owned land. The City’s page carries no update date, so confirm with the City. A pool enclosure does need a permit from the Chief Building Official, and a division fence shared with a neighbour falls under Division Fence By-law 024-2003, which the City says puts no restrictions on materials for a division fence. PrimeAlux does not install fences.

How much maintenance does an aluminum fence need?

Slats need only an occasional rinse to stay clean. There is no painting, staining or sanding. The warranty does ask for documented cleaning twice per year, following the PrimeAlux cleaning instructions.

What does the PrimeAlux warranty cover?

The PrimeAlux limited warranty lists 20 years for aluminum metal, 15 years for coated aluminum fence and 10 years for powder coated aluminum extrusion profile, and requires the fence system to be cleaned twice per year following PrimeAlux cleaning instructions. Our warranty and care guide explains what the documents say.

Has the fence been tested?

Each test report names what was tested, and the results apply to those specimens only. The ASTM E84 fire report covers the PrimeAlux Privacy Slat fence system: flame spread index 0 and smoke developed index 50. The ASTM E90 acoustic report covers the PrimeAlux Horizontal Privacy Plus 6'W x 6'H: STC 22 and OITC 19.

Do you ship across Canada, and can I visit?

PrimeAlux was established in 2019 and serves all of Canada and the US. Delivery options, dates and fees are confirmed by our sales team. The showroom is at 2222 South Sheridan Way, Unit 116, Mississauga, ON, open Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM.
