Services
Custom Stained Glass Design
We create bespoke stained glass windows, ceilings, and architectural features tailored to client preferences. Our designs range from traditional religious motifs to modern secular art, using high-quality materials and techniques. Clients can modify existing designs or collaborate with our artisans to develop unique concepts, ensuring each piece complements their space and vision.
Historic Window Restoration
Our restoration process focuses on preserving the historical and artistic integrity of stained glass. We repair or replace lead cames, stabilize fragile sections, and replicate hand-painted details to extend the lifespan of original artwork. This service is ideal for churches, museums, and landmarks seeking to maintain their heritage while ensuring structural durability.
Protective Coverings Installation
We install permanent protective coverings made from acrylic, glass, or polycarbonate to shield stained glass from weather, vandalism, and UV damage. These systems enhance energy efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and preserve the aesthetic appeal of historic windows while maintaining architectural harmony with the buildings design.
Stained Glass Appraisal
Our appraisal service evaluates the historical, artistic, and monetary value of stained glass pieces. This includes documentation of materials, craftsmanship, and provenance, often used for insurance, restoration planning, or estate purposes. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence and preservation recommendations.
Architectural Window Fabrication
We design and install stained glass for commercial and residential buildings, including custom frames and energy-efficient solutions. This service caters to architects and developers seeking unique, durable glasswork that integrates with modern construction standards while retaining artistic quality.
