Skylights
We manufacture fixed and operable skylights with thermobreak frames, bronze or vinyl caps, and fire-egress hardware. Our units meet stringent building codes using clear or tinted glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate. Custom sizes and configurations ensure compatibility with standard or tandem curbs while providing natural light and ventilation solutions for commercial and residential structures.
Roof Hatches
Our aluminum and steel roof hatches include utility, facility, and equipment models with secure locking mechanisms. Designed for Northwest climates, these units feature compression rods and lock hasps for safety. Customizable options include curb mounts, skylight integration, and safety rail-gate combinations to facilitate maintenance access while maintaining roof integrity.
Sneeze Guards
We produce transparent acrylic, polycarbonate, and glass barriers for point-of-sale counters and office stations. These screens help reduce airborne transmission risks while maintaining visibility and accessibility. Customizable dimensions and mounting options address diverse commercial settings, including retail, healthcare, and office environments to support social distancing protocols.
Overhead Glazing
Our overhead glazing systems include pyramids, ridges, and barrel vaults using polycarbonate or glass. Custom designs accommodate sloped glazing and vertical applications with proprietary framing systems. Installation by trained personnel ensures structural integrity while optimizing natural light transmission for commercial buildings, greenhouses, and architectural projects requiring aesthetic and functional transparency.
Shelters & Canopies
We fabricate glass canopies for building entrances and bus shelters alongside polycarbonate-framed structures for patios and greenhouses. Custom shelters address smoking areas, bike racks, and weather protection needs. Durable materials and engineered designs ensure longevity while meeting specific functional requirements for public and private spaces requiring durable, aesthetically pleasing cover solutions.
