Main Points
High-Efficiency Window Replacement for Each Room
Well before cold drafts arrive from Puget Sound, plan your energy-efficient window replacement room by room to minimize heat loss and regulate glare. In living spaces, choose double- or triple-pane IGUs with argon, warm-edge spacers, and spectrally selective low-E upgrades calibrated for west-facing afternoon sun. For bedrooms, prioritize low SHGC on south and west elevations and quiet-laminate options along Ambaum traffic. Kitchens need tempered units near ranges and high VT to preserve task lighting.
Bathrooms demand privacy glass with corrosion-resistant hardware and secure vapor seals. For basements, select composite frames to resist moisture and meet egress requirements. Consider attic glazing in skylights: laminated, curb-mounted, and low-e to minimize summer heat gain. In coastal areas, opt for DP-rated frames, stainless fasteners, and correctly flashed nail fins.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures That Transform Your Bathroom
Elevate your bathroom with a custom shower enclosure built for Puget Sound homes: frameless 3/8"–1/2" laminated or tempered glass, low-iron for authentic color, and hardware in corrosion-resistant 316 stainless or solid brass. You'll receive precise field measurements, tight reveals, and properly pitched sills to shed water. Frameless doors swing smoothly on self-centering hinges, with clearances set for vapor containment and code-required egress.
Select patterned glass for privacy—satin-etch, rain, or reeded—without losing light. We seal with mildew-proof silicone and continuous magnetic strikes to limit leakage. Thresholds, sweeps, and clamps are sized for your tile layout, niches, and benches. In Burien's coastal air, we use 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 optical-quality beveled mirrors tailored to tight walls, sloped ceilings, or vanity spans, with clean 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, withstanding wind, salt air, and daily use.
Looking for a focal piece? We manufacture custom backsplashes, partitions, and shelves in low-iron, clear, or tinted glass, incorporating decorative etching for logo marks, privacy bands, or house numbers. Every hole location, cut, and polish corresponds to your site conditions, providing long-term stability, safety, and sightlines across your Burien property.
Our Method: From Initial Consultation to Pristine Installation
While your goals drive the scope, our process ensures it predictable and precise. We start with an on-site Initial assessment across Burien—verify openings, substrate, plumb, and ventilation. We document measurements to the 1/16", note code-clearances, and highlight obstacles like uneven sills or tile reveals. You'll receive choices for glass type, edge profiles, and hardware finishes that fit local conditions.
After that, we verify specifications, arrange for laminated or tempered glass, and complete timeline planning based on supplier lead times and your schedule. We arrange permits when necessary and prepare the site to limit dust. On install day, we dry-fit, shim for level, set panes with silicone adhesive or mounting clips, and seal bathroom and kitchen zones. Last checks include testing swing and slide mechanisms, gasket integrity, and cleanup. Payment and care guidance wrap it up.
