SHOWERS

Custom Glass Shower Enclosures in Red Feather Lakes

We design and install frameless, semi-frameless, and framed shower enclosures sized to the cabin bathroom, not to a nominal opening. Every shower starts with an on-site template so the glass meets the tile and curb cleanly, then panels are cut and tempered in our Northern Colorado shop. Crystal Lakes cabin-remodel bathrooms drive most of our frameless heavy-glass shower work in the Red Feather corridor, where existing un-square cabin openings need glass cut to the actual room rather than pulled from stock. Hardware is finished with CRL (C.R. Laurence) sets engineered for long-term alignment and corrosion resistance. Because we fabricate in-house, custom shower enclosures install in roughly 1 to 2 weeks from approved measurement, against the 2 to 3 weeks typical when vendors outsource fabrication out of state. The site visit is scheduled separately around your remodel window.

MIRRORS

Custom Mirrors for Red Feather Lakes Cabins

We cut and install custom mirrors sized to the wall, not the box-store sheet size. Vanity mirrors, wall-to-wall sheets, decorative framed pieces, closet door mirrors, and gym or exercise-room installations all start from on-site measurement, including cabin gyms that are an emerging category for second-home buyers. For Red Feather Lakes Village cabin retrofits, we cut around existing trim, outlets, and out-of-square cabin walls so the mirror sits flush without forced gaps. We also handle mirror repair: re-silvering edge-damaged pieces, replacing cracked or chipped panels, and swapping older clip-mounted mirrors for cleaner adhesive or hidden-channel installs. Edge work runs from standard flat-polished to beveled and ogee for higher-end cabin projects.

RAILINGS

Glass Railing for Mountain Decks and Lofts

Glass railings work for cabin decks, stairs, balconies, interior lofts, and pool surrounds. We install frameless structural railings, post-and-clamp systems, standoff (point-fixed) railings, and capped top-rail designs. Glass is typically 3/8" tempered for interior loft runs and 1/2" tempered or tempered-laminated for exterior decks, with hardware selected for high-altitude UV and freeze-thaw exposure. At 8,300 feet, laminated layups add safety margin against impact and freeze-thaw stress on exposed deck runs. Installs meet Colorado-adopted IBC guardrail heights (42" at decks and balconies, 34" at stair runs) with engineered hardware spacing for load. Cabin decks with forest-view sightlines along Roosevelt National Forest and interior loft railings in Crystal Lakes cabin great rooms are the two most common Red Feather configurations.

IGUS

Foggy Window and IGU Repair at Altitude

An insulated glass unit (IGU) is the sealed double-pane piece inside a window frame. When the seal fails, moisture gets between the panes and shows up as fog or condensation that won't wipe away. At 8,300 feet, rapid pressure differential fatigues sealed-unit seals faster than valley homes, so foggy windows show up earlier on Red Feather Lakes cabins. We measure the failed unit, confirm whether the IGU alone has failed or the frame needs attention, and order a factory-built replacement sized to the existing sash. Replacement IGUs run 5 to 10 business days for any installer, and new units carry a 10-year pro-rated manufacturer warranty on the seal.

WINE

Heavy Glass: Wall Partitions, Wine Rooms & Doors

Heavy glass is Moffat's category, and the Red Feather cabin-remodel market is where it shows up most in the Larimer mountain corridor. Wall partitions, heavy-glass pivot and swing doors, and glass-enclosed wine rooms are fabricated and tempered in our Northern Colorado shop, sized to the actual opening rather than ordered as stock panels. Mountain Range Resort and Crystal Lakes remodels drive most of the work: great-room partitions that open the floor plan while pulling forest-view light through the space, and climate-controlled wine rooms where frameless 1/2" tempered walls turn a cabin cellar or under-stair nook into a showcase for the collection. In-house fabrication keeps lead time at 1 to 2 weeks from approved measurement on heavy-glass projects, against the 2 to 3 weeks that comes with outsourced cutting. Designs range from full frameless partitions and pivot doors to channel-set wine-room walls with custom-cut shelving, finished with our premium hardware partner.

STOREFRONT

Light Commercial Glass for Red Feather Businesses

We work on light commercial projects up to four stories: storefronts, restaurant and lodge buildouts, interior partitions, commercial mirrors, and small community-building work across Red Feather Lakes Village. Red Feather's village commercial core, anchored by Potbelly Restaurant, Trout Lodge, and the Red Feather Lakes Library District, generates steady work in storefront glass, interior partitions, and lodge-restoration glazing. Hardware is specified by application: commercial-grade entry and storefront sets for the door packages, butt-glazed channel systems for interior partitions, and tempered laminated layups where impact resistance is required. We work with property managers and tenant-improvement teams on quoted scopes, with small-scale project sizing that matches the mountain-village commercial footprint. Curtain wall and high-rise glazing above four stories are outside what we do.

CUSTOM

Custom Glass: Tabletops, Shelves and Cabin Picture Windows

We cut protective tabletops for hand-built cabin furniture and stone surfaces, custom shelves for bathrooms, displays, and built-in cabin lofts, and one-off specialty pieces like replacement panes, oddly shaped insert glass, and cabin picture-window replacement glass on aging window-walls. Edges are flat-polished, beveled, or pencil-polished depending on the use. Because we cut and finish in our Northern Colorado shop rather than outsourcing, turnaround on small custom pieces is short and we can match a template traced on paper or measured on site.

Questions From Our Neighbors

Does Moffat Glass serve Red Feather Lakes and how does the drive from Loveland work?+

Yes, Moffat services Red Feather Lakes and the wider Larimer mountain corridor from our Loveland storefront at 630 W 1st St, about an hour east. Site visits are scheduled around your remodel window, so the drive is planned: one trip up for templated measurement, then install once fabrication is complete. Premium cabin owners book us for craftsmanship, not proximity. Schedule a site visit.

Can Moffat install heavy-glass partitions or frameless showers on a cabin remodel in Crystal Lakes?+

Yes. We fabricate cabin great-room partitions, frameless shower doors, and large picture-window glass in our Northern Colorado shop, sized to the actual opening at 3/8" to 1/2" tempered thickness, then mount with our premium hardware partner. Crystal Lakes and Mountain Range Resort cabin-remodel projects fit this fabrication flow cleanly. Reach out for a site measure.

What glass thickness is required for skylights and picture windows at 8,300 feet?+

Skylights at Red Feather Lakes elevation typically use 1/4" to 3/8" tempered or laminated glass depending on snow-load rating and span; picture-window glass for large cabin window-walls is typically 1/2" tempered minimum, with laminated layups recommended for impact-prone forest-fringe exposure. The 8,300 ft elevation increases pressure differential on sealed units and snow-load stress on horizontal or low-angle skylight glazing; manufacturer snow-load ratings (typically 30 to 50 psf at this elevation, verified per local Larimer County code) determine minimum thickness. Tempered glass handles safety on overhead and impact-zone applications; laminated adds margin against falling tree debris and freeze-thaw stress on west-facing exposures. Local code verification happens at the site visit. Schedule a site assessment.

What's the lead time for a custom shower door or heavy-glass project in Red Feather Lakes?+

Custom heavy-glass shower and great-room projects typically run 1 to 2 weeks from approved measurement to install, against 2 to 3 weeks for vendors who outsource fabrication. Our 4-step flow is on-site measure, in-house fabrication and tempering, schedule and install, final walkthrough. The Loveland-to-cabin drive is scheduled separately around your remodel window. Request a quote.

Why do windows fail more often at 8,000+ feet than down in the valley?+

Rapid pressure differential at altitude fatigues IGU seals faster than valley homes, leading to earlier foggy-window symptoms. UV intensity at 8,300 ft is also higher because the atmosphere is thinner, which accelerates coating and sealant aging on west-facing exposures, and freeze-thaw cycling stresses the seal further. Replacement IGUs run 5 to 10 business days from the manufacturer. Get a diagnostic visit scheduled.

I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass

"We needed our patio screen door replaced. Moffat answered the phone (something that 3 other businesses did not do), scheduled someone to come measure the same day, manufactured our non-standard sized door and installed it within a week. We have yet to hear from the other businesses we contacted who told us they would 'get right back' to us. The quality of customer service was very good. Everyone was friendly, professional, and expressed appreciation for our business. I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass. They have been in Greeley for a long time and I can see why they have lasted."
