Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Bond commitments
In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in our Architectural Services Segment, we are required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for non-performance against our contracts. At May 30, 2026, $1.1 billion of these types of bonds were outstanding, of which $239.8 million is in our backlog. These bonds have expiration dates that align with the completion of these contracts. We have never been required to make payments under surety or performance bonds with respect to our existing businesses.
Warranty and project-related contingencies
We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims, for product warranty and rework cost, based on historical product liability claims as a ratio of sales. Claim costs are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on these accruals in any given period include changes in manufacturing quality, changes in product mix, and any significant changes in sales volume.

Additionally, we are subject to project management and installation-related contingencies as a result of our fixed-price material supply and installation service contracts, primarily in our Architectural Services Segment and in certain parts of our Architectural Metals Segment. We manage the risk of these exposures through contract negotiations, proactive project management and insurance coverages.
Letters of credit
At May 30, 2026, we had $2.6 million of ongoing letters of credit as discussed in Note 5.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures totaled $14.9 million as of May 30, 2026.
Litigation
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company is routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. We have in the past and are currently subject to product liability and warranty claims, including certain legal claims related to a commercial sealant product formerly incorporated into our products. One such claim was resolved and paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, resulting in a payment of $24.7 million, which was reserved for during fiscal 2025.
The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of areas such as employment practices, workers compensation and general liability matters. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of any such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no matters will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.
