Core Insights
High-Efficiency Window Installation for Each Room
Even before drafts seep in from Puget Sound, map out your energy-efficient window replacement on a room-by-room basis 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 optimized for west-facing afternoon sun. For bedrooms, prioritize low SHGC on south and west elevations and quiet-laminate alternatives along Ambaum traffic. Kitchens demand tempered units near ranges and high VT to maintain task lighting.
Bathrooms demand privacy glass with corrosion-resistant hardware and tight vapor seals. For basements, select composite frames to resist moisture and meet egress standards. Assess attic glazing in skylights: laminated, curb-mounted, and low-e to limit summer gain. In coastal zones, opt for DP-rated frames, stainless fasteners, and properly flashed nail fins.
Personalized Shower Enclosures That Elevate Your Bathroom
Upgrade your bath with a custom shower enclosure designed for Puget Sound homes: frameless 3/8"–1/2" laminated or tempered 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 moisture control and code-required egress.
Select patterned glass for privacy—satin-etch, rain, or reeded—without sacrificing light. We seal with anti-mildew silicone and continuous magnetic strikes to reduce leakage. Thresholds, sweeps, and clamps are sized for your tile layout, niches, and benches. In Burien's coastal air, we spec anti-corrosion fasteners and through-glass mounts. Expect crisp edges, polished cutouts, and ADA-compliant handles as necessary.
Mirrors, Glass Railings, and Specialty Pieces Tailored to You
Once we perfect your shower enclosure, we extend the same care to mirrors, glass railings, and custom pieces throughout your Burien home. You get premium beveled mirrors tailored to tight walls, sloped ceilings, or vanity spans, with smooth edges and secure, low-profile mounting. For stairs, balconies, and decks, we craft frameless glass railings with code-certified tempered panels, fastened to existing posts or new shoe bases, standing up to wind, salt air, and daily use.
Want a focal piece? We manufacture custom shelves, partitions, and backsplashes in clear, low-iron, or tinted glass, incorporating decorative etching for house numbers, privacy bands, or logo marks. Every cut, polish, and hole location matches your site conditions, ensuring safety, sightlines, and long-term stability across your Burien property.
Our Method: From Initial Consultation to Pristine Installation
While your goals dictate the scope, our process ensures it predictable and precise. We start with an on-site Initial assessment anywhere in Burien—verify openings, substrate, plumb, and ventilation. We capture measurements to the 1/16", note code-clearances, and identify obstacles like uneven sills or tile reveals. You'll receive alternatives for glass type, edge profiles, and hardware finishes that fit local conditions.
Next, we verify requirements, procure safety glass, and perform schedule planning linked to supplier lead times and your availability. We handle permits when needed and prepare the site to reduce dust. On installation day, we dry-fit, shim for level, set panes with structural silicone or clips, and seal wet areas. Final checks include swing/slide testing, gasket integrity, and cleanup. Payment processing and maintenance instructions complete the job.
