Core Insights
Energy-Efficient Window Replacement for Every Room
Well before drafts creep in off of Puget Sound, plan your energy-efficient window replacement for each room to cut heat loss and regulate glare. In living rooms, select double- or triple-pane IGUs with argon, warm-edge spacers, and spectrally selective low e upgrades calibrated for west-facing afternoon sun. For bedrooms, emphasize low SHGC on south and west elevations and quiet-laminate choices along Ambaum traffic. Kitchens require tempered units near ranges and high VT to maintain task lighting.
Bathrooms require privacy glass with corrosion-resistant hardware and secure vapor seals. For basements, choose composite frames to prevent moisture and meet egress codes. Consider attic glazing in skylights: laminated, curb-mounted, and low-e to reduce summer gain. In coastal regions, opt for DP-rated frames, stainless fasteners, and correctly flashed nail fins.
Personalized Shower Enclosures That Transform Your Bathroom
Elevate 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 corrosion-resistant 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 moisture control and code-required egress.
Opt for patterned glass for privacy—reeded, rain, or satin-etch—without compromising light. We seal with anti-mildew silicone and continuous magnetic strikes to Local Glass Repairs LLC limit leakage. Sweeps, thresholds, and clamps are measured 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 where needed.
Mirrors, Glass Railings, and Specialty Pieces Tailored to You
After we fine-tune your shower enclosure, we apply the same precision to mirrors, glass railings, and custom pieces throughout your Burien home. You get premium beveled mirrors sized to tight walls, sloped ceilings, or vanity spans, with sharp edges and secure, low-profile mounting. For stairs, balconies, and decks, we craft frameless glass railings with regulation-compliant tempered panels, secured to existing posts or new shoe bases, standing up to wind, salt air, and daily use.
Require a focal piece? We create custom shelves, partitions, and backsplashes in clear, low-iron, or tinted glass, incorporating decorative etching for logo marks, privacy bands, or house numbers. Every polish, cut, and hole location fits your site conditions, guaranteeing sightlines, safety, and long-term stability across your Burien property.
Our Process: From Initial Consultation to Pristine Installation
Though your goals determine the scope, our process ensures it precise and predictable. We begin with an on-site Initial assessment anywhere in Burien—verify openings, substrate, plumb, and ventilation. We document measurements to the 1/16", mark code-clearances, and flag obstacles like uneven sills or tile reveals. You'll receive options for glass type, edge profiles, and hardware finishes that suit local conditions.
Following this, we validate specifications, order laminated or tempered glass, and perform Timeline planning linked to supplier lead times and your availability. We handle permits when required and prepare the site to limit dust. On installation day, we test-fit, shim for level, place panes with clips or structural silicone, and seal wet areas. Final checks include testing swing and slide mechanisms, gasket integrity, and cleanup. We finalize with payment and care instructions.
