Essential Highlights
Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades for Each Room
Well before cold drafts arrive off Puget Sound, map out your energy-efficient window replacement for each room to reduce heat loss and control glare. In living rooms, choose double- or triple-pane IGUs with argon, warm-edge spacers, and spectrally selective low-e upgrades tuned for west-facing afternoon sun. For bedrooms, emphasize low SHGC on south and west elevations and quiet-laminate options along Ambaum traffic. Kitchens demand tempered units near ranges and high VT to maintain task lighting.
Bathrooms need privacy glass with corrosion-proof hardware and secure vapor seals. For basements, choose composite frames to withstand moisture and meet egress standards. Evaluate attic glazing in skylights: laminated, curb-mounted, and low-e to minimize summer gain. In coastal regions, select DP-rated frames, stainless fasteners, and adequately flashed nail fins.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures That Upgrade Your Bathroom
Upgrade your bath with a custom shower enclosure tailored to Puget Sound homes: frameless three-eighths to half-inch heat-treated or laminated glass, low-iron for accurate color, and hardware in marine-grade 316 stainless or solid brass. We provide precise field measurements, tight reveals, and properly pitched sills to shed water. Frameless doors move smoothly on self-centering hinges, with clearances set for steam retention and code-required egress.
Choose patterned glass for privacy—rain, reeded, or satin-etch—without compromising light. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone and continuous magnetic strikes to limit leakage. Thresholds, sweeps, and clamps are dimensioned for your tile layout, niches, and benches. In Burien's marine environment, we specify anti-corrosion fasteners and through-glass mounts. Expect clean edges, polished cutouts, and ADA-compliant handles when required.
Mirrors, Glass Railings, and Bespoke Pieces Designed for You
After we refine your shower enclosure, we bring that same attention to mirrors, glass railings, and custom pieces throughout your Burien home. You get optics-grade beveled mirrors custom-fit to tight walls, sloped ceilings, or vanity spans, with smooth edges and secure, low-profile mounting. For stairs, balconies, and decks, we design frameless glass railings with building-code-approved tempered panels, secured to existing posts or new shoe bases, resisting 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 polish, cut, and hole location fits your site conditions, delivering long-term stability, safety, and sightlines across your Burien property.
Our Method: From Consultation to Crystal-Clear Installation
Though your goals dictate the scope, our process ensures it precise and predictable. We commence with an on-site initial assessment anywhere in Burien—verify openings, substrate, plumb, and ventilation. We capture measurements to the 1/16", mark code-clearances, and identify obstacles like uneven sills or tile reveals. You'll receive choices for glass type, edge profiles, and hardware finishes that match local conditions.
Following this, we validate specifications, procure laminated or tempered glass, and complete timeline planning tied to supplier lead times and your schedule. We arrange permits when required and prepare the site to limit dust. On installation day, we test-fit, shim for level, position panes with structural silicone or clips, and seal moisture-prone areas. Concluding checks include swing/slide testing, gasket integrity, and cleanup. We finalize with payment and care instructions.
