SAN FRANCISCO / BAY AREA, CA
Commercial glazing tenant improvement contractor in the San Francisco Bay Area
LOCAL MARKET
Tenant improvement glazing across the Bay Area
The Bay Area’s office and life-science tenants use a great deal of interior glass, from glass-front offices to vision glass between labs and corridors.
Title 24 sets performance requirements for exterior glass, and seismic movement affects how glass and framing are detailed.
Each city runs its own building department, and older buildings often have irregular openings.
