Stained Glass.

From a small front door window to a complete house,
We will add a look that will transform your property.
The advantage of having traditionally made windows
is the colour and look of quality is insuperable in
comparison to stick on lead, guaranteeing over time
our windows do not fade or peel away.

We create our windows the same way that craftsmen have for many centuries, our aim is to deliver a window that is creative and imaginative and produce a window that will be enjoyable for years to come.

Glass Painting.

Glass painting is a process that takes time but the results are dramatic and very beautiful.
There are various stages in the production of painted glass, and each stage needs separate firings in the kiln.
The first stage of painting is to produce trace line, which shows the outline & detail.
The second stage is to add shading. This is done by covering the glass with the required colour/shade, then removing the colour/shade not required, leaving a gradation effects.
Finally if further colour is required, enamel and stains are then applied depending on how many colours are required, it is not unusual to fire a piece of glass over six times to achieve the end result.

Designs.

We are able to design, from as little as an idea of the art glass final location, to a very tight brief such as heraldic shields or panels to match existing windows fixtures and fittings.

We specialize in drawing design and painting skills, I have been for many years developing a style and approach that has been commissioned for its detail and appreciation
of the subject being undertaken.

Commissioning.

We make traditional lead lights using lead and individual pieces of glass which are combined to make up the final window.

(We do not make stick-on leads.)

Stained glass & Lead light windows can transform a
porch or complete house, and add a feeling of character and age to a property.

All windows are custom made either using one of our existing designs from our extensive portfolio or a completely unique design to suit your location & specifications.

Due to the great variations on each job we will price each job individually according to design/complexity, we give quotes upon request, either by email or phone if can provide as much information as you can such as sizes and design ideas you may have.

Period windows.

All our stained glass windows incorporates all the traditional techniques that have been used for many centuries.

There are many traditional Victorian and Edwardian window styles, we have produced a great number over the years, with the aid of historical books and archive pictures we will design a window to suit your needs.

If a house in your street have original Stained glass panels we are able to reproduce designs either from photos or a rubbing from the original panels. We will try to match the traditional colours and patterns as close as possible.

A well made panel should last from 60 to 80 years, this will be dependant on location, and weather conditions, there are many windows that have lasted for 200 years and beyond.

Modern windows.

With ultra modern to post modern designs we are able to create many different styles. we are able to incorporate different techniques such as cast glass and stained glass.

We can design and make windows that have a traditional design and cross over into the modern design, these designs can prove very effective for both new and old properties.

We offer traditional & contemporary designs with the most modern materials and designs. Any of these can quickly and beautifully transform your living environment with flair and elegance.

Fused glass is a modern technique offering scope for a diverse range of applications, this can be transparent or opalescent, depending on location & purpose.

Restoration.

We restore small windows such as individual windows for front door entrances to larger commissions such as christ hospital pictured right.

We are able to repair individual breaks on site to full remakes which are explained in greater depth in our online brochure.

We will be able to advise what is the best course of action for your existing window/s needs, such as reinforcing to avoid further damage.
