We make and repair
stained glass windows
and
leaded lights to order using
traditional methods and materials. They are fully weather proof, for
use as normal external glazing and also may be used in interior
decoration. They may be used as an alternative to clear or obscured
glass, or to replace original panels that have been lost, or for
hanging or mounting in front of existing windows. We also undertake
repairs to stained glass and leaded lights. We:
- produce new stained glass panels to match or complement
existing glass
- work with you and your designs to produce new stained glass
- prepare and execute designs from your ideas and brief
- come up with design ideas for you
- install the finished piece(s) if required (its common for
newly installed windows to be fronted or backed up with laminated glass
for additional security and support)
- work with traditional materials - lead cames (or calms)
and coloured glass, cut by hand to the design (the cartoon),
fitted together (leaded up), the lead joints
fluxed (with tallow) and soldered together, cemented
in (with a special putty) and finally finished with blacklead.
- we dont use self adhesive lead strips combined with
coloured lacquers to create our work, although we can suppy such
panels, usually double glazed. We feel this method lacks the visual
impact and 'life' of a traditionally made leaded panel.
