Commercial glazing tenant improvement contractor in Seattle
LOCAL MARKET
Tenant improvement glazing across the Seattle area
Seattle’s energy code sets strict performance requirements for exterior glass, which shapes storefront and window selection on nearly every project.
Frequent rain makes water management and sealing essential, and seismic movement affects how glass and framing are detailed.
Technology and life-science tenants use extensive interior glass for offices, meeting rooms and labs.
