Key Takeaways
Energy-Saving Window Upgrades for Each Room
Even before cold drafts arrive off Puget Sound, organize your energy-efficient window replacement on a room-by-room basis to reduce heat loss and regulate glare. In living spaces, 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, focus on low SHGC on south and west elevations and quiet-laminate choices along Ambaum traffic. Kitchens need tempered units near ranges and high VT to sustain task lighting.
Bathrooms demand privacy glass with corrosion-resistant hardware and secure vapor seals. For basements, choose composite frames to resist moisture and meet egress codes. Evaluate attic glazing in skylights: laminated, curb-mounted, and low-e to limit summer heat gain. In coastal areas, select DP-rated frames, stainless fasteners, and properly flashed nail fins.
Tailored Shower Enclosures That Enhance Your Bathroom
Elevate your bath with a custom shower enclosure designed for Puget Sound homes: frameless 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch heat-treated or laminated glass, low-iron for accurate color, and hardware in marine-grade 316 stainless or solid brass. You'll get 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.
Opt for patterned glass for privacy—rain, reeded, or satin-etch—without losing light. We seal with mildew-proof silicone and continuous magnetic strikes to reduce leakage. Thresholds, sweeps, and clamps are measured for your tile layout, niches, and benches. In the coastal air of Burien, we specify anti-corrosion fasteners and through-glass mounts. Expect crisp edges, polished cutouts, and ADA-compliant handles as necessary.
Mirrors, Glass Railings, and Specialty Products Customized for You
When we complete your shower enclosure, we apply the same precision to mirrors, glass railings, and custom pieces throughout your Burien home. You get optics-grade beveled mirrors sized to tight walls, sloped ceilings, or vanity spans, with Burien Residential Glass Installation sharp edges and secure, low-profile mounting. For stairs, balconies, and decks, we design frameless glass railings with code-compliant tempered panels, drilled or clamp-mounted to existing posts or new shoe bases, enduring wind, salt air, and daily use.
Want a focal piece? We craft custom backsplashes, partitions, and shelves in tinted, clear, or low-iron glass, applying decorative etching for logo marks, privacy bands, or house numbers. Every cut, polish, and hole location fits your site conditions, providing long-term stability, safety, and sightlines across your Burien property.
Our Method: From Consultation to Crystal-Clear Installation
While your goals drive the scope, our process ensures it accurate and reliable. We begin with an on-site initial assessment across Burien—verify openings, substrate, plumb, and ventilation. We capture measurements to the 1/16", mark code-clearances, and flag 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, order tempered or laminated glass, and complete timeline planning tied to supplier lead times and your timeline. We arrange permits when required and prep the site to reduce dust. On installation day, we dry-fit, shim for level, place panes with silicone adhesive or mounting clips, and seal moisture-prone areas. Last checks include operational testing, gasket integrity, and cleanup. Payment processing and maintenance instructions complete the job.
