Aluminum Facades in Seattle

We design, fabricate, and install aluminum facades in Seattle and across the broader Puget Sound metro. We are a project-based facade partner serving the region, focused on delivering cladding systems built for the Pacific Northwest’s persistent rainfall, seismic risk, and technically demanding building code environment.

From mixed-use development in Capitol Hill and South Lake Union’s technology corridor to corporate campuses in Bellevue and Redmond, healthcare projects across King County, and commercial construction in Tacoma and Everett, we work with architects, contractors, and building owners to deliver durable, well-detailed aluminum facade systems.

A facade partner for the Seattle metro

Seattle’s construction market combines high technical expectations with a climate that tests every facade decision. The Pacific Northwest’s design culture values durability and craft, and the code environment - seismic, energy, and moisture management - leaves little room for shortcuts. We bring engineering coordination and fabrication precision to projects where the envelope must perform long-term.

• Design and engineering - seismic detailing, moisture management review, energy code compliance, and shop drawings coordinated with your project team.
• In-house fabrication - panels and extrusions built to tolerance and scheduled for your site’s phasing and access conditions.
• Installation - experienced crews delivering tested, weather-resistant rainscreen assemblies in Seattle’s demanding construction environment.

Built for Seattle conditions

The Puget Sound region presents a specific set of demands on the building envelope.

• Persistent rainfall and moisture management. Seattle’s climate is defined by sustained, low-intensity rain - not just seasonal precipitation. The rainscreen cavity is not an option here; it is a necessity. Aluminum cladding systems with properly drained and ventilated cavities allow the assembly to dry between wetting events, protecting the air barrier and insulation over the building’s life.
• Seismic design. Greater Seattle sits in one of the highest seismic risk zones in the continental United States, with exposure to the Cascadia Subduction Zone and local crustal faults. Facade systems must accommodate significant inter-story drift without cracking, separating, or compromising the drainage cavity. We specify aluminum cladding with engineered seismic movement allowances appropriate to the site’s design category.
• Washington State Energy Code. Washington’s energy code sets strict continuous insulation and thermal bridging requirements. We coordinate wall section detailing with the energy model to support code compliance documentation.
• Freeze-thaw at elevation. While Seattle proper rarely sees sustained freezing temperatures, projects in higher-elevation areas of the Cascades foothills or in Snohomish and Pierce counties can experience more pronounced freeze-thaw cycling. Drainage openings and horizontal surface detailing must account for ice loading.

Systems we deliver

Aluminum panels deliver the clean, durable faces that suit Seattle’s commercial and technology campus architecture. Aluminum wall cladding covers large elevations with consistent moisture management performance, aluminum battens introduce depth and vertical rhythm, and aluminum soffits finish covered entries, breezeway ceilings, and canopies.
