Core Insights
Energy-Efficient Window Installation for All Rooms
Before drafts creep in from Puget Sound, organize your energy-efficient window replacement Burien Glass Replacement on a room-by-room basis to reduce heat loss and manage glare. In living rooms, 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 choices along Ambaum traffic. Kitchens require tempered units near ranges and high VT to preserve task lighting.
Bathrooms demand privacy glass with corrosion-proof hardware and tight vapor seals. For basements, choose composite frames to withstand moisture and meet egress requirements. Evaluate attic glazing in skylights: laminated, curb-mounted, and low-e to limit summer heat gain. In coastal zones, choose DP-rated frames, stainless fasteners, and properly flashed nail fins.
Personalized Shower Enclosures That Upgrade Your Bathroom
Transform your bathroom with a custom shower enclosure tailored to Puget Sound homes: frameless three-eighths to half-inch tempered or laminated glass, low-iron for authentic 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 swing smoothly on self-centering hinges, with clearances set for steam retention and code-required egress.
Opt for patterned glass for privacy—rain, reeded, or satin-etch—without compromising 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 the coastal air of Burien, we specify anti-corrosion fasteners and through-glass mounts. Expect precise edges, polished cutouts, and ADA-compliant handles when required.

Once we perfect your shower enclosure, we extend the same care to mirrors, glass railings, and custom pieces throughout your Burien home. You get precision-grade beveled mirrors dimensioned for tight walls, sloped ceilings, or vanity spans, with crisp 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, withstanding wind, salt air, and daily use.
