Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Data	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Data Basis of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the balances of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Apogee, the Company or we) after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. We consolidate variable interest entities where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of those entities' operations. Fiscal Year. Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February, or as determined by the Board of Directors. Fiscal 2018 and 2016 each consisted of 52 weeks, while fiscal 2017 consisted of 53 weeks. Our Brazilian subsidiary follows a calendar year-end and is consolidated on a two -month lag. Accounting Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Cash Equivalents. Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are included in cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Marketable securities. Our marketable securities are classified as available for sale, and we test for other-than-temporary losses on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a security may not be recoverable. We consider all unrealized losses to be temporary in nature. We intend to hold our securities until the full principal amount can be recovered, and we have the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. Gross realized gains and losses are included in other income (expense) in our consolidated results of operations. Inventories. Inventories, which consist primarily of purchased glass and aluminum, are valued at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) is recorded at cost. Significant improvements and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Long-lived assets to be held and used, such as PP&E, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, based on the following estimated useful lives: Years Buildings and improvements 10 to 25 Machinery and equipment 3 to 15 Office equipment and furniture 3 to 7 Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identified intangible assets of acquired businesses. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually at our year-end, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. This year we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment process and to proceed directly to comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill impairment is not indicated. Each of our nine business units represents a reporting unit for the goodwill impairment analysis. Based on our analysis, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, goodwill impairment was not indicated. We have followed a consistent discounted cash flow methodology to evaluate goodwill in all periods presented. We base our determination of fair value on a discounted cash flow methodology that involves significant judgment and projections of future performance. Assumptions about future revenues and expenses, capital expenditures and changes in working capital are based on the annual operating plan and long-term business plan for each business unit. These plans take into consideration numerous factors, including historical experience, anticipated future economic conditions and growth expectations for the industries and end markets in which we participate. Growth rates for revenues and operating profits vary for each reporting unit. The discount rate assumption for each reporting unit takes into consideration our assessment of risks inherent in the future cash flows of our business and an estimated weighted-average cost of capital. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually at our year-end, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Fair value is measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the trade name or mark has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. This method requires us to estimate the future revenue from the related asset, the appropriate royalty rate, and the weighted average cost of capital. The assessment of fair value involves significant judgment and projections about future performance. Based on our analysis, the fair value of each indefinite-lived asset exceeded the carrying amount. Intangible assets with defined useful lives are amortized based on estimated useful lives ranging from 18 months to 20 years and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives of all intangible assets are reviewed annually, and we have determined that the remaining lives were appropriate. Self-Insurance. We obtain commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, employment practices, workers' compensation, automobile liability, architect's and engineer's errors and omissions risk, product rework and other miscellaneous coverages. A substantial portion of this risk is retained on a self-insured basis through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. We establish a reserve for estimated ultimate losses on reported claims and those incurred but not yet reported utilizing actuarial projections. Reserves are classified within accrued or long-term self-insurance reserves based on expectations of when the estimated loss will be paid. Additionally, we maintain a self-insurance reserve for health insurance programs offered to eligible employees, included within accrued self-insurance reserves. The reserve includes an estimate for losses on reported claims as well as for amounts incurred but not yet reported, based on historical trends. Warranty. We are subject to claims associated with our products and services, principally as a result of disputes with our customers involving the performance or aesthetics of our architectural products and services. We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims for product warranty and rework costs, based on historical product liability claims as a ratio of sales. Our warranty reserves are included in other current and non-current liabilities based on the estimated timing of dispute resolution. Environmental Liability. We recognize environmental clean-up liabilities on an undiscounted basis when loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated based on estimates by specialists and applicable law. Such estimates are based primarily on the estimated cost of investigation and remediation required, and the likelihood that, where applicable, other potentially responsible parties will not be able to fulfill their commitments at the sites where the Company may be jointly and severally liable. The reserve for environmental liabilities is included in other current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Foreign Currency. Local currencies are considered the functional currencies for our subsidiaries outside of the United States. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated using average monthly exchange rates. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives and Hedging Activities. We periodically enter into forward purchase foreign currency contracts, generally with an original maturity date of less than one year, to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. All derivative instruments within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. All hedging instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are designated and effective as hedges. Instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market with changes recognized in current earnings. Cash flows from derivative instruments are classified in the statement of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships.We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to leveraged derivatives. Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when title has transferred, except within our Architectural Services segment and for one business within our Architectural Framing Systems segment, which enter into fixed-price contracts for projects typically performed over a 12 - to 24 -month timeframe. We record revenue for these contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis as we are able to reasonably estimate total contract revenue and total contract costs. We compare the total costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs for the contract, and record that proportion of the total contract revenue in the period. Contract costs include materials, labor and other direct costs related to contract performance. We believe utilizing the cost-to-cost method for revenue recognition provides the greatest degree of accuracy in measuring revenue throughout the contract period. Provisions are established for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are determined. Amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items are included in contract revenue only upon customer approval. Approximately 22 percent , 26 percent and 25 percent of our consolidated net sales in fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively, were recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis. Revenue excludes sales taxes as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. Pricing and Sales Incentives. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings, including pricing arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives, at the later of the date revenue is recognized or the incentive is offered. Sales incentives given to customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales unless (1) the Company receives an identifiable benefit for goods or services in exchange for the consideration, and (2) the Company can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received. Shipping and Handling. All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are reported as revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are reported as cost of sales. Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses, and were $14.0 million , $8.6 million and $8.0 million for fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Of these amounts, $1.5 million , $2.2 million and $2.4 million , respectively, were focused primarily upon design of custom window and curtainwall systems in accordance with customer specifications and are included in cost of sales. Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses, and were $1.4 million in fiscal 2018 , $1.1 million in fiscal 2017 and $1.2 million in fiscal 2016 . Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. See Note 14 for additional information regarding income taxes. Subsequent Events. We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Standards . In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which permits a company to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the 2017 Act on items within AOCI to retained earnings. The FASB refers to these amounts as “stranded tax effects.” The ASU also requires certain new disclosures, applicable for all companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and may be early adopted. We are evaluating the timing of adopting this standard, but do not expect it to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging , which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal 2020), with early adoption permitted. We have elected to early adopt ASU 2017-12, and the standard has been applied to derivative contracts entered into in fiscal 2018. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in the current two-step impairment test process. The new guidance eliminates the current requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using step 2. The standard is applicable to impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (our fiscal 2020), with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt this standard for our fiscal 2018 goodwill impairment assessment process. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows , and in November 2016, it issued 2016-18, Restricted Cash. Both standards provide guidance for presentation of certain topics within the statement of cash flows, including presenting restricted cash within cash and cash equivalents, and are intended to improve consistency in presentation. The new classification guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal 2019), and is to be applied retrospectively for comparability across all periods. These standards may be adopted early, and we are considering the timing of adoption but we do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which provides for a comprehensive change to lease accounting. The new standard requires that a lessee recognize a lease obligation liability and a right to use asset for virtually all leases of property, plant and equipment, subsequently amortized over the lease term. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal 2020), with a modified retrospective transition. The adoption of this standard will result in reflecting assets and liabilities for the value of our leased property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheet, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, our fiscal 2019 and we adopted the standard beginning in our fiscal year 2019. • We adopted the guidance following a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in fiscal 2019. We estimate this retained earnings adjustment to be approximately $3 to $5 million . • Some of our business units will continue to recognize revenue at the point in time when goods are shipped, as that represents when control is transferred to the customer. We also have business units that will continue to recognize revenue over time, following a cost-to-cost percentage of completion method for revenue recognition. • Two of our business units, representing approximately 38 percent of our total net sales, will change from recognizing revenue at a point in time to recognizing revenue over time, to better reflect transfer of control to the customer in line with the new guidance. We have determined measures of progress toward completion for each business, based on the contract terms and the facts and circumstances associated with the performance obligations of each business.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition	Acquisitions EFCO On June 12, 2017, we acquired 100 percent of the stock of EFCO Corporation, a privately-held U.S. manufacturer of architectural aluminum window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems for commercial construction projects, for approximately $192 million in cash. The acquisition was funded through our committed revolving credit facility, with $7.5 million of that amount payable in three annual installments beginning in June 2018. Subsequent to the acquistion, we received approximately $2 million through a working capital settlement. EFCO's results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements and within the Architectural Framing Systems segment since the date of acquisition, including $203.7 million of sales and $0.8 million of operating income. As of March 3, 2018, we had incurred approximately $5.1 million of acquisition-related costs associated with this transaction. The assets and liabilities of EFCO were recorded in our consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values. Fair value is estimated based on one or a combination of income, cost and/or market approaches, as determined based on the nature of the asset or liability, and the level of inputs available. With respect to assets and liabilities, the determination of fair value requires management to make subjective judgments, including projections of future operating performance, the appropriate discount rate to apply and long-term growth rates (unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy described in Note 5), which affect the amounts recorded in the purchase price allocation. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets, net of liabilities, is recorded as goodwill, which is indicative of the expected continued growth and development of EFCO. The purchase price allocation is based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including estimated acquired contract liabilities, as follows: (In thousands) Net working capital $ 7,689 Property, plant and equipment 44,641 Goodwill 84,162 Other intangible assets 71,500 Less: Long-term liabilities acquired, net 17,643 Net assets acquired $ 190,349 Other intangible assets reflect the following: (In thousands) Estimated fair value Estimated useful life (in years) Customer relationships $ 34,800 16 Tradename 32,400 Indefinite Backlog 4,300 1.5 $ 71,500 These fair values are based on estimates and are subject to change, based on finalization of net working capital amounts. Sotawall On December 14, 2016, we acquired substantially all the assets of Sotawall, Inc. (now operating under the name Sotawall Limited or "Sotawall"), for approximately $138 million , funded by cash and short-term investments of approximately $73 million and by approximately $65 million of borrowings under our committed revolving line of credit. Sotawall specializes in the design, engineering, fabrication, assembly and installation of unitized curtainwall systems for industrial, commercial and institutional buildings, primarily serving the Canadian and northeastern U.S. geographic regions. Sotawall's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements and within the Architectural Framing Systems segment since the date of acquisition. Purchase accounting related to this acquisition was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Final purchase price allocation was as follows: (In thousands) Net working capital $ 10,682 Property, plant and equipment 7,993 Goodwill 21,380 Other intangible assets 94,630 Net assets acquired $ 134,685 The following table provides certain unaudited pro forma consolidated information for the combined company for the fourth quarters and fiscal years 2018 and 2017, as if the EFCO and Sotawall acquisitions were consummated pursuant to each of their respective same terms at the beginning of the fiscal year preceding their respective acquisition dates.

Commercial paper was measured at fair value using inputs based on quoted prices for similar securities in active markets. Short- and long-term securities Municipal bonds were measured at fair value based on market prices from recent trades of similar securities and are classified as short-term or long-term based on maturity date. Mutual funds were measured at fair value based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Foreign currency instruments. We periodically enter into forward purchase foreign currency contracts, generally with an original maturity date of less than one year, to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. In the fourth quarter, we held foreign exchange forward contracts with a U.S. dollar notional value of $15.2 million, with the objective of reducing the exposure to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and the Euro. The fair value of these contracts was a net liability of $0.1 million at year-end. These forward contracts are measured at fair value using unobservable market inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points and foreign currency exchange rates, and would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy above.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt In June 2017, we amended and restated the credit agreement governing our credit facility, which has a maturity date of November 2021 , to increase the amount of the revolving credit facility to $335.0 million . We had $195.0 million outstanding on our revolving credit facility as of March 3, 2018 and $45.0 million outstanding as of March 4, 2017 . As defined within our facility, we have two financial covenants that require us to stay below a maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio and maintain a minimum ratio of interest expense-to-EBITDA. Both ratios are computed quarterly, with EBITDA calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, our credit facility may be terminated and/or any amounts then outstanding may be declared immediately due and payable. At March 3, 2018 , we were in compliance with both financial covenants. We have the ability to issue letters of credit of up to $70.0 million under this credit facility, the outstanding amounts of which decrease the available commitment. At March 3, 2018 , $116.5 million was available under this credit facility. Debt at March 3, 2018 also included $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds that mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043 and $0.5 million of long-term debt in Canada that matures in August 2022. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds approximated carrying value at March 3, 2018 , due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 5. We also maintain two Canadian revolving credit facilities totaling $12.0 million Canadian dollars. No borrowings were outstanding under the facilities as of March 3, 2018 or March 4, 2017 .

Plans under Collective Bargaining Agreements We contribute to various multi-employer union retirement plans, which provide retirement benefits to the majority of our union employees; none of the plans are considered significant. The total contribution to these plans in fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 was $2.9 million , $3.9 million and $3.6 million , respectively. Pension Plan The Company sponsors the Tubelite Inc. Hourly Employees' Pension Plan, a defined-benefit pension plan that was frozen to new entrants in fiscal 2004, with no additional benefits accruing to plan participants after such time. Officers' Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) The Company sponsors an unfunded SERP for the benefit of certain executives, a defined-benefit pension plan that was frozen to new entrants in fiscal 2009, with no additional benefits accruing to plan participants after such time. Obligations and Funded Status of Defined-Benefit Pension Plans The following tables present reconciliations of the benefit obligation of the defined-benefit pension plans and the funded status of the defined-benefit pension plans.

The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the defined-benefit plans' pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year based on the measurement date. The discount rate was determined by matching the expected benefit payments to payments from the Principal Discount Yield Curve. There are no known or anticipated changes in the discount rate assumption that will have a significant impact on pension expense in fiscal 2019 . Expected return on assets. To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets, we considered historical long-term rates of return achieved by the plan investments, the plan's investment strategy, and current and projected market conditions. In accordance with its policy, the assets of the Tubelite plan are invested in a short-term bond fund and carried at fair value based on prices from recent trades of similar securities, which would be classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. We do not maintain assets intended for the future use of the SERP. Contributions Company contributions to the plans for each of fiscal 2018 and 2017 totaled $1.0 million , which equaled or exceeded the minimum funding requirement.

We lease the property that holds Sotawall's principal facilities from a company owned by the President of Sotawall. Total rent paid for this facility was approximately $2.6 million in fiscal 2018, and the future minimum lease commitment is $14.9 million . At March 3, 2018 , we had one sale and leaseback agreement for equipment that provides an option to purchase the equipment at projected future fair market value upon expiration of the lease in 2021 . The lease is classified as an operating lease in accordance with applicable financial accounting standards. The Company has a deferred gain of $1.3 million under the sale and leaseback transaction, which is included in the balance sheet as other current and non-current liabilities. The average annual lease payment over the remaining life of the lease is $1.0 million . Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Company’s Architectural Services segment, the Company is required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to its customers for any non-performance. At March 3, 2018 , $238.6 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $519.3 million . Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as the Company is released from the bonds upon completion of the contract and any related warranty period. The Company has never been required to make any payments related to these performance-based bonds with respect to any of its current portfolio of businesses. Warranties. We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims for product warranty and rework costs based on historical product liability claims as a ratio of sales. Claims are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual in any given period include the following: changes in manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume.

Total availability under our credit facility is reduced by borrowings and by letters of credit issued under the facility. Purchase obligations. Purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures totaled $183.9 million as of March 3, 2018 . Environmental liability . In fiscal 2008, we acquired one manufacturing facility which has certain historical environmental conditions. We are working to remediate these conditions; remediation has been conducted without significant disruption to our operations. Our liability for these remediation activities was $1.3 million and $1.4 million at March 3, 2018 and March 4, 2017 , respectively. New Markets Tax Credit transactions. In June 2016, we entered into a transaction with a subsidiary of Wells Fargo (WF) under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program related to an investment in plant and equipment within our Architectural Glass segment. The NMTC transaction is subject to 100 percent tax credit recapture for a period of seven years. Therefore, proceeds received in exchange for the transfer of the tax credits will be recognized as earnings in fiscal 2024, if the expected tax benefits are delivered without risk of recapture to each bank and our performance obligations are relieved. In exchange for substantially all the benefits derived from tax credits, WF contributed $6.0 million into the project. This is included within other non-current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Direct and incremental costs of $4.5 million are included in other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized in proportion to the recognition of the related profits. Variable-interest entities were created as a result of the structure of these transactions, which have been included within our consolidated financial statements as the banks do not have a material interest in the underlying economics of the projects. 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’s construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is subject to litigation arising out of general liability, employment practices, workers' compensation and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Shareholders' Equity A class of 200,000 shares of junior preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 is authorized, but unissued. Share Repurchases During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, with subsequent increases in authorization, including an increase in authorization by 1,000,000 shares in fiscal 2018. We repurchased 702,299 shares under the program during fiscal 2018 , for a total cost of $33.7 million . We repurchased 250,001 shares under the program, for a total cost of $10.8 million , in fiscal 2017, and 575,000 shares under the program, for a total cost of $24.9 million , in fiscal 2016 . The Company has repurchased a total of 4,009,932 shares, at a total cost of $106.0 million , since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 1,240,068 shares under this program, which has no expiration date. In addition to the shares repurchased under this repurchase plan, during fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , the Company also withheld $3.0 million , $2.6 million and $5.1 million , respectively, of Company stock from employees in order to satisfy stock-for-stock option exercises or tax obligations related to stock-based compensation, pursuant to terms of board and shareholder-approved compensation plans.

Stock-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation We have a 2009 Stock Incentive Plan and a 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan (the Plans) that provide for the issuance of 1,888,000 and 350,000 shares, respectively, for various forms of stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors. Awards under these Plans may be in the form of incentive stock options (to employees only), nonstatutory options or stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), all of which are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of award. We are also authorized to issue nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards under the Plans. Issued SARs vest over a three -year period and options issued to non-employee directors vest at the end of six months, both with a 10 -year term. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards generally vest over a two , three or four -year period. We had a 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, which was terminated in June 2009; no new grants may be made under this plan, although exercises of SARs and options previously granted thereunder will still occur in accordance with the terms of the various grants. Total stock-based compensation expense under all Plans included in the results of operations was $6.2 million for fiscal 2018 , $6.0 million for fiscal 2017 and $4.9 million for 2016 . We elect to account for any forfeitures as they occur. Stock Options and SARs There were no stock options or SARs issued in any fiscal year presented. Activity for the current year is summarized as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value at Year-End Outstanding at March 4, 2017 229,901 $ 9.90 Awards exercised (100,000 ) 8.34 Outstanding and exercisable at March 3, 2018 129,901 $ 11.10 2.8 Years $ 4,269,503 Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.8 million , $1.9 million and $1.6 million for fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of securities exercised (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant) was $4.8 million , $6.0 million and $7.5 million in fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to our consolidated effective tax rates: 2018 2017 2016 Federal income tax expense at statutory rate 32.7 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Tax rate change revaluation (3.7 ) — — Manufacturing deduction (2.2 ) (3.3 ) (3.4 ) State and local income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 1.8 1.6 1.6 Foreign tax rate differential (0.7 ) (1.6 ) — Tax credits - research & development (0.9 ) (0.7 ) (0.8 ) Other, net 0.7 (0.9 ) 0.5 Income tax expense 27.7 % 30.1 % 32.9 % The estimated effective tax rate for fiscal 2018 declined 2.4 percentage points from fiscal 2017 primarily due to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the Act"), which was enacted in December 2017. Among other things, the Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent beginning January 1, 2018, resulting in a blended tax rate for our fiscal 2018. It also requires the revaluation of deferred taxes, which generated a tax benefit in the quarter of $4.1 million . Also in December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for tax effects of the Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date of the Act for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provision of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Act. The FASB provided additional guidance to address the accounting for the effects of the provisions related to the taxation of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, or GILTI, noting that companies should make an accounting policy election to recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or to include the tax expense in the year it is incurred. We have not completed our analysis of the effects of the GILTI provisions and will further consider the accounting policy election within the measurement period as provided for under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118. In fiscal 2017, we recorded a net tax benefit of $1.9 million on a distribution from our Brazilian operation.

A valuation allowance of $4.3 million has been established for these net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of the use of the tax benefits in future periods. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2015, or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2010. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal 2014, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions. The Company considers the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside of the U.S. on the basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs and specific plans for reinvestment of those subsidiary earnings. Should the Company decide to repatriate foreign earnings, it would need to adjust the income tax provision in the period it was determined that the earnings will no longer be indefinitely invested outside the U.S. If we were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, $2.4 million , $2.1 million and $2.7 million for fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, would benefit the effective tax rate. Also included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , are $2.3 million , $2.0 million and $1.8 million , respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in adjustments to deferred taxes. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. For fiscal 2018, we accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.4 million . For fiscal 2017 and 2016, the accrual was $0.4 million and $0.5 million , respectively. The following table provides a reconciliation of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits: (In thousands) 2018 2017 2016 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 4,075 $ 4,512 $ 4,491 Gross increases in tax positions for prior years 614 54 60 Gross decreases in tax positions for prior years (122 ) (233 ) (158 ) Gross increases based on tax positions related to the current year 639 508 526 Gross decreases based on tax positions related to the current year — — (33 ) Settlements — (23 ) — Statute of limitations expiration (519 ) (743 ) (374 ) Revaluation impact 18 — — Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 4,705 $ 4,075 $ 4,512 The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $0.5 million during fiscal 2019 due to lapsing of statutes.

Summary of Significant Accoun28

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Data (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Mar. 03, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Consolidation	Basis of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the balances of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Apogee, the Company or we) after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. We consolidate variable interest entities where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of those entities' operations.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year. Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February, or as determined by the Board of Directors. Fiscal 2018 and 2016 each consisted of 52 weeks, while fiscal 2017 consisted of 53 weeks. Our Brazilian subsidiary follows a calendar year-end and is consolidated on a two -month lag.
Accounting Estimates	Accounting Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents	Cash Equivalents. Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are included in cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value
Inventories	Inventories. Inventories, which consist primarily of purchased glass and aluminum, are valued at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) is recorded at cost. Significant improvements and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Long-lived assets to be held and used, such as PP&E, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, based on the following estimated useful lives: Years Buildings and improvements 10 to 25 Machinery and equipment 3 to 15 Office equipment and furniture 3 to 7
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identified intangible assets of acquired businesses. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually at our year-end, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. This year we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment process and to proceed directly to comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill impairment is not indicated. Each of our nine business units represents a reporting unit for the goodwill impairment analysis. Based on our analysis, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, goodwill impairment was not indicated. We have followed a consistent discounted cash flow methodology to evaluate goodwill in all periods presented. We base our determination of fair value on a discounted cash flow methodology that involves significant judgment and projections of future performance. Assumptions about future revenues and expenses, capital expenditures and changes in working capital are based on the annual operating plan and long-term business plan for each business unit. These plans take into consideration numerous factors, including historical experience, anticipated future economic conditions and growth expectations for the industries and end markets in which we participate. Growth rates for revenues and operating profits vary for each reporting unit. The discount rate assumption for each reporting unit takes into consideration our assessment of risks inherent in the future cash flows of our business and an estimated weighted-average cost of capital. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually at our year-end, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Fair value is measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the trade name or mark has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. This method requires us to estimate the future revenue from the related asset, the appropriate royalty rate, and the weighted average cost of capital. The assessment of fair value involves significant judgment and projections about future performance. Based on our analysis, the fair value of each indefinite-lived asset exceeded the carrying amount. Intangible assets with defined useful lives are amortized based on estimated useful lives ranging from 18 months to 20 years and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Self-Insurance	Self-Insurance. We obtain commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, employment practices, workers' compensation, automobile liability, architect's and engineer's errors and omissions risk, product rework and other miscellaneous coverages. A substantial portion of this risk is retained on a self-insured basis through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. We establish a reserve for estimated ultimate losses on reported claims and those incurred but not yet reported utilizing actuarial projections. Reserves are classified within accrued or long-term self-insurance reserves based on expectations of when the estimated loss will be paid. Additionally, we maintain a self-insurance reserve for health insurance programs offered to eligible employees, included within accrued self-insurance reserves. The reserve includes an estimate for losses on reported claims as well as for amounts incurred but not yet reported, based on historical trends.
Warranty	Warranty. We are subject to claims associated with our products and services, principally as a result of disputes with our customers involving the performance or aesthetics of our architectural products and services. We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims for product warranty and rework costs, based on historical product liability claims as a ratio of sales. Our warranty reserves are included in other current and non-current liabilities based on the estimated timing of dispute resolution.
Environmental Liability	Environmental Liability. We recognize environmental clean-up liabilities on an undiscounted basis when loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated based on estimates by specialists and applicable law. Such estimates are based primarily on the estimated cost of investigation and remediation required, and the likelihood that, where applicable, other potentially responsible parties will not be able to fulfill their commitments at the sites where the Company may be jointly and severally liable. The reserve for environmental liabilities is included in other current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency. Local currencies are considered the functional currencies for our subsidiaries outside of the United States. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated using average monthly exchange rates. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives and Hedging Activities. We periodically enter into forward purchase foreign currency contracts, generally with an original maturity date of less than one year, to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. All derivative instruments within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. All hedging instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are designated and effective as hedges. Instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market with changes recognized in current earnings. Cash flows from derivative instruments are classified in the statement of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships.We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to leveraged derivatives.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when title has transferred, except within our Architectural Services segment and for one business within our Architectural Framing Systems segment, which enter into fixed-price contracts for projects typically performed over a 12 - to 24 -month timeframe. We record revenue for these contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis as we are able to reasonably estimate total contract revenue and total contract costs. We compare the total costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs for the contract, and record that proportion of the total contract revenue in the period. Contract costs include materials, labor and other direct costs related to contract performance. We believe utilizing the cost-to-cost method for revenue recognition provides the greatest degree of accuracy in measuring revenue throughout the contract period. Provisions are established for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are determined. Amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items are included in contract revenue only upon customer approval. Approximately 22 percent , 26 percent and 25 percent of our consolidated net sales in fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively, were recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis. Revenue excludes sales taxes as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes.
Pricing and Sales Incentives	Pricing and Sales Incentives. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings, including pricing arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives, at the later of the date revenue is recognized or the incentive is offered. Sales incentives given to customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales unless (1) the Company receives an identifiable benefit for goods or services in exchange for the consideration, and (2) the Company can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received.
Shipping and Handling	Shipping and Handling. All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are reported as revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are reported as cost of sales.
Research and Development	Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses, and were $14.0 million , $8.6 million and $8.0 million for fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Of these amounts, $1.5 million , $2.2 million and $2.4 million , respectively, were focused primarily upon design of custom window and curtainwall systems in accordance with customer specifications and are included in cost of sales.
Advertising	Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses, and were $1.4 million in fiscal 2018 , $1.1 million in fiscal 2017 and $1.2 million in fiscal 2016 .
Income Taxes	Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. See Note 14 for additional information regarding income taxes.
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events. We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards . In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which permits a company to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the 2017 Act on items within AOCI to retained earnings. The FASB refers to these amounts as “stranded tax effects.” The ASU also requires certain new disclosures, applicable for all companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and may be early adopted. We are evaluating the timing of adopting this standard, but do not expect it to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging , which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal 2020), with early adoption permitted. We have elected to early adopt ASU 2017-12, and the standard has been applied to derivative contracts entered into in fiscal 2018. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in the current two-step impairment test process. The new guidance eliminates the current requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using step 2. The standard is applicable to impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (our fiscal 2020), with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt this standard for our fiscal 2018 goodwill impairment assessment process. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows , and in November 2016, it issued 2016-18, Restricted Cash. Both standards provide guidance for presentation of certain topics within the statement of cash flows, including presenting restricted cash within cash and cash equivalents, and are intended to improve consistency in presentation. The new classification guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal 2019), and is to be applied retrospectively for comparability across all periods. These standards may be adopted early, and we are considering the timing of adoption but we do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which provides for a comprehensive change to lease accounting. The new standard requires that a lessee recognize a lease obligation liability and a right to use asset for virtually all leases of property, plant and equipment, subsequently amortized over the lease term. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal 2020), with a modified retrospective transition. The adoption of this standard will result in reflecting assets and liabilities for the value of our leased property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheet, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, our fiscal 2019 and we adopted the standard beginning in our fiscal year 2019. • We adopted the guidance following a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in fiscal 2019. We estimate this retained earnings adjustment to be approximately $3 to $5 million . • Some of our business units will continue to recognize revenue at the point in time when goods are shipped, as that represents when control is transferred to the customer. We also have business units that will continue to recognize revenue over time, following a cost-to-cost percentage of completion method for revenue recognition. • Two of our business units, representing approximately 38 percent of our total net sales, will change from recognizing revenue at a point in time to recognizing revenue over time, to better reflect transfer of control to the customer in line with the new guidance. We have determined measures of progress toward completion for each business, based on the contract terms and the facts and circumstances associated with the performance obligations of each business.
