Main Points
Energy-Saving Window Upgrades for All Rooms
Before cold drafts arrive from Puget Sound, map out your energy-efficient window replacement for each room to reduce heat loss and regulate glare. In living areas, specify double- or triple-pane IGUs with argon, warm-edge spacers, and spectrally selective low e upgrades calibrated for west-facing afternoon sun. For bedrooms, focus on low SHGC on south and west elevations and quiet-laminate alternatives along Ambaum traffic. Kitchens need tempered units near ranges and high VT to maintain task lighting.
Bathrooms demand privacy glass with rust-resistant hardware and sealed vapor seals. For basements, choose composite frames to prevent moisture and meet egress standards. Assess attic glazing in skylights: laminated, curb-mounted, and low-e to minimize summer heat gain. In coastal zones, choose DP-rated frames, stainless fasteners, and adequately flashed nail fins.
Custom Shower Enclosures That Transform Your Bathroom
Elevate your bathroom with a custom shower enclosure built for Puget Sound homes: frameless 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch tempered or laminated glass, low-iron for authentic color, and hardware in marine-grade 316 stainless or solid brass. You'll get precise field measurements, tight reveals, and properly pitched sills to shed water. Frameless doors swing smoothly on self-centering hinges, with clearances set for moisture control and code-required egress.
Select patterned glass for privacy—reeded, rain, or satin-etch—without compromising light. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone and continuous magnetic strikes to minimize leakage. Sweeps, thresholds, and clamps are sized for your tile layout, niches, and benches. In Burien's coastal air, we specify anti-corrosion fasteners and through-glass mounts. Expect crisp edges, polished cutouts, and ADA-compliant handles when required.
Custom Mirrors, Glass Railings, and Specialty Pieces for Your Space
When we complete your shower enclosure, we deliver identical precision for mirrors, glass railings, and custom pieces throughout your Burien home. You get optical-quality beveled mirrors dimensioned for tight walls, sloped ceilings, or vanity spans, with smooth edges and secure, low-profile mounting. For stairs, balconies, and decks, we engineer frameless glass railings with code-compliant tempered panels, secured to existing posts or new shoe bases, standing up to wind, salt air, and daily use.
Need a focal piece? We manufacture custom shelves, partitions, and backsplashes in tinted, clear, or low-iron glass, applying decorative etching for house numbers, privacy bands, or logo marks. Every cut, polish, and hole location corresponds to your site conditions, ensuring long-term stability, safety, and sightlines across your Burien property.
Our Method: From Consultation to Crystal-Clear Installation
Although your goals determine the scope, our process maintains it precise and predictable. We start with an on-site Initial assessment anywhere in Burien—check openings, substrate, plumb, and ventilation. We capture measurements to the 1/16", identify code-clearances, and flag obstacles like uneven sills or tile reveals. You'll receive alternatives for glass type, edge profiles, and hardware finishes that fit local conditions.
Following this, we verify specs, procure tempered or laminated glass, and conduct timeline planning based on supplier lead times and your availability. We coordinate permits when necessary and prepare the site to minimize dust. On install day, we trial-fit, shim for level, position panes with silicone adhesive or mounting clips, and seal bathroom and kitchen zones. Concluding checks include testing swing and slide mechanisms, gasket integrity, and cleanup. Payment and care guidance wrap it up.
