Stained glass windows are designed to be durable, and are, for the most part, fairly sound in terms of structure. When cared for properly, stained glass can last for centuries with the only requirement being minimal maintenance and cleaning. However, it is possible for stained glass to be damaged, due to flaws in the materials or construction or as the result of trauma or vandalism.
In these cases, repairs are usually recommended, especially if the stained glass has significant value or has been severely damaged. However, great caution should be taken when working with antique stained glass. Antique stained glass is valuable both historically and culturally, and should be handled with care in order to ensure its preservation. Knowing when the stained glass in your Kansas City church needs repairs and what to look for in a professional studio can make a huge difference in regards to extending the life of the glass.
Finding the right privacy solution for your Kansas City home can be difficult. Window coverings often look tacky, outdated, and can become mildewy if placed within bathrooms or rooms with moisture exposure. Window coverings also block out natural light, making homeowners prioritize what’s more important to them: privacy or natural light. Privacy stained glass provides an effective solution that’s elegant, improves property value, and doesn’t sacrifice natural light transmissions or privacy.
Stained glass provides an excellent privacy solution that’s applicable for many areas of your Kansas City home, including bathrooms, bedrooms, entryways, hallways, kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms, basements, and much more. Privacy stained glass tends to utilize clear, leaded glass. Leaded glass obstructs unwanted views into your home while maintaining excellent visible light transmissions. Leaded glass provides a more elegant, modern look that fits into a lot of homes here in Kansas City. For a more traditional look, colored stained glass options are available for privacy as well. Traditional stained glass can control the amount of visible light transmissions, providing versatile options for how you’d like your home to look and feel. Every piece we create is custom designed, offering a great way to improve property value and curb appeal.
One of our advanced stained glass artisans is happy to sit down with you in order to bring your ideas to fruition. We specialize in residential privacy stained glass, ensuring we can custom create the perfect fit for your Kansas City home. Our clients review their designs approximately eight to ten times before we start assembly. We utilize computer-aided design software and Photoshop to provide the best proportions and coloration.

In Dallas, where ranch-style and craftsman style homes are extremely common, stained glass can look very beautiful in a home’s entryway, kitchen, bathroom, or another common area. It creates an air of sophistication and elegance, adds privacy, and creates a peaceful, tranquil environment since it allows natural light to freely enter your home.
Additionally, there are so many different styles of stained glass that you can choose from. While blinds and curtains are pretty standard and limited in their appearance, stained glass is unique because it can be customized. You can actually pick the pattern and colors you want and create a whole range of looks from contemporary to classic.
Stained glass is one of the oldest forms of art known to mankind. The art of glassmaking has been practiced for centuries around the globe and is an important part of the world’s collective art history and culture. For this reason, stained glass conservation is an important topic, especially when it comes to aged and antique glass.
Stained glass is an extremely durable substance but happily transparent and able to take color through paints, pigments, and dye. This makes it the perfect medium for adorning churches and giving them that sought-after ethereal feel. While you may think of it as impervious to decay, the truth is, stained glass windows will eventually break down. This type of degradation of glass takes a long time on modern stained glass due to its make-up and stability but there are other ways a stained glass window can break down beside decay. If your church has stained glass and you wonder if it may soon need repair, read on to find out what surefire signs of disrepair to look for on your chapel’s stained glass and keep it looking lovely and intact for decades to come for parishioners.
One of the most obvious signs that it is time to repair your Fort Worth church stained glass is gaps of visible light through your window. This is when there are actual holes, small or large between the glass and leading or frame. These are caused by the stretching of the lead and the issue with this is–the surrounding glass panels are no longer held securely in place. The possibility of a piece of glass falling out of the window is very good and stained glass professional should be consulted at once.
If the stained glass windows in your church are buckling, bowing, bulging or sagging, this could mean your whole window is getting ready to collapse. This is a worst-case scenario of course, but even a small piece of glass could hurt someone. This type of damage is less about the glass decaying and more to do with the wood frame (which have been expanding and contracting in time) losing strength. In the long run, these rapid shifts in the frame take a toll on the lead and it begins to lose strength too, This is an issue that needs to be repaired soon to immediately.
Probably the most common signs your church stained glass window needs repair and the least harmful are chips and cracks in the glass. Not pressing to fix, these are simply damages that all stained glass windows incur over time. They do affect the beauty and luster of your church’s stained glass though. However, cracks in glass can be a sign of “stress zones” in the glass from a failing frame. So, if you notice cracks getting bigger or increasingly popping up, contact a professional stained glass repair company like Scottish Stained Glass Fort Worth.

Stained glass is extremely durable and dense material but still transparent and able to take color, which makes it the perfect medium for adorning chapels to give them the ultimate ethereal feel. While it may seem strong and impervious, the truth is, stained glass windows, like everything else, will eventually yield to decay. This type of degradation of the glass itself takes a very long time on modern stained glass because of its chemical formulation and stability but there are other signs to look for in your church’s stained glass windows that point to the need for restoration, that don’t have to do with the glass itself. Read below to find out what surefire signs to look out for, in order to keep the stained glass in your Kansas City religious institution intact for parishioners for decades, if not centuries to come.
One of the biggest signs that it is time to repair your Kansas City church stained glass is gaps in the window, out of which you can see daylight. These are caused by the stretching of the lead between your stained glass panels. The issue with lead stretching is that the glass panel is no longer held securely in place. The possibility of a piece of glass falling out of the window is high and a stained glass professional should be consulted at once.
If the stained glass windows in your church are buckling, bowing, bulging or sagging, failure could be imminent. This type of dangerous damaged has nothing to do with the glass and everything to do with the frame which has been expanding and contracting over time and losing strength. Additionally, these relatively rapid shifts in the frame, in the long run, cause the lead to lose strength and stretch, changing the shape of the window forever. This is something that needs to be fixed right away because it could lead to total failure of the window and injury to parishioners. The lead in the window supports the interior structure of the window, as it ages and loses strength, this also leads to windows changing shape.
Probably the most common signs your church stained glass window needs repair and the most innocuous are chips and cracks in the glass. For the most part, these are simply damages that all stained glass windows incur over time. Besides the loss of beauty, they are relatively harmless. However, cracks in glass can be a sign of stress points in the glass from a failing frame so, you should have a stained glass professional come to your church in Kansas City and inspect the glass if you notice them and/or cracks seems to be popping up more and more.

Stained glass windows are the perfect addition to any home in the Colorado Springs area and this has a lot to do with their versatility. The come in a huge variety of colors, textures, styles, and sizes so, for the modern homeowner stained glass windows are very accommodating. Another reason for their accessibility to the so-called “average Joe” is because there are so many choices of installation methods. This makes them extremely easy to customize to any part of a home and that is one of the things our clients love most. Read our insight below about different installation methods to help figure out which one may be right for your Colorado Springs home.
As we said earlier, there are many different stained glass installation methods and finding the right one for you depends on what you are trying to achieve. These methods range from very easy (and done in as little as one day) to more difficult and time-consuming. However, the one thing that is clear– no matter which method you choose, Scottish Stained Glass Colorado Springs excels at every given method.
The bonding method is hands down, one of the most widely used techniques in stained glass installation. Simple, quick, and clean: it can be done on nearly any window in your Colorado Springs home. The process is straightforward and involves a made to order stained glass panel being applied to your home’s window. As easy as this method is to execute the results are stunning. It looks great from the inside and out and has the added benefit of little extra protection from the solid glass pane.
Another popular method is the triple pane method other than the stained glass insert method which accounts for 75% of installs. This application is excellent for areas that get a lot of moisture or need to adhere to safety glass building codes (like new construction). In this method, the stained glass is sandwiched and sealed between two tempered pieces of glass. This allows zero moisture behind the outside panes and therefore no condensation. It is safe and easy to clean and our clients just love it for bathrooms.
The final stained glass application method is called hook hanging. In these installs, a custom-crafted stained glass panel is fitted with hooks on the outer edge of its frame. It can then be hung on a wall, in front of a window or free suspended. This is a great way for Colorado Springs homeowners who plan to move their panel.

DO: Prepare The Area. While most stained glass windows are simple and quick install, it is still something that could involve dust, scraps, and chemicals/adhesives. For this reason, you will want to take measures to protect your furnishings, walls, carpets or other features by covering them with plastic. This is something you should call us about if you have questions because sometimes we will only be in a tiny area and may need none of that at all. Also, remove valuables– our installers are top notch but it is simply a good practice for you to be in when working with any contractor.
DON’T: Don’t try to help the stained glass installers or touch or lift anything: the window, installation tools, buckets or clothes. This is really a precautionary measure to keep you from getting hurt but also a way not to inconvenience you. Just let the guys you paid to do the job and relax; their labor is written into our stained glass pricing.
DO: Stick Around. Most of our stained glass window installations are one day jobs. Sometimes it can run into a few days but it obviously depends on the size and scope of your job. You will know exactly how long it will take up front regardless. Even if it is a multi-day project, you will be able to stay in your home while it is ongoing.
DON’T: Let your pet around the job site. Pets can be huge distractions during installs and it is never safe to have them in the area. This is for the sake of you, your pet and the installer. Mostly everything we bring in with us is fairly safe but we are still dealing with glass and adhesives and other chemicals.
DO: Contact us with any questions or concerns. The stained glass window you bought for your Salt Lake City home is something you paid to be excited for. Don’t hesitate to ask us anything that is on your mind, because we want the installation to be a good memory for years to come, as your stained glass window turns into a family heirloom.

Many Kansas City property owners have beautiful stained glass features housed within their homes, churches, or hotels. Stained glass can really be stunning and eye-catching when properly taken care of and maintained. Since stained glass differs from other windows and glass mediums, it’s vital for property owners to understand proper care techniques in order to really highlight the unique beauty of these features.
Scottish Stained Glass highly recommends not using any commercial window or glass cleaners when cleaning any stained glass. Commercial window and glass cleaners typically contain harsh chemicals and abrasive components that can expedite the deterioration process for stained glass– especially the lead came that structurally holds the window or panels together. Utilizing a blend of neutral-pH soap and warm water can really make a difference in maintaining your stained glass’ structural integrity, prolonging its good condition and structure. This is also effective in cleaning and providing an optically clear look that is stunning and eye-catching. Regular cleaning is vital to maintaining your Kansas City stained glass. We also recommend examining your stained glass for any signs of deterioration on a regular basis.
Examining your stained glass regularly allows you to see any qualities of deterioration. These signs can range from white dust appearing on the surface to concave/convex shaped glass pieces. If you witness any of these symptoms of deterioration, that means your stained glass is ready for restoration. Timely restoration is vital before any irreversible damage is done. Our acclaimed restoration process can even add another century to your stained glass’ life before it’s ready for its next restoration.

Dallas real estate is booming– many homeowners are always looking for fun renovation projects and different, unique ways to make their homes really stand out. Beveled glass is a type of stained glass that presents a timeless look which can be incorporated into any style home. Beveled glass can really improve curb appeal, address privacy concerns, as well as increase your property’s equity.
Beveled glass is clear glass (normally 3/16” or 1/4” thick) which is ground and polished around the edges to create the beveled edge around the exterior of the glass piece. This gives a prismatic appearance to the edges of the glass and can produce a rainbow effect when the Texas sun hits the glass.

If the word stained glass brings up visions of churches and chapels–you are in the majority. But in all actuality, stained glass is an extremely popular feature in homes of any style. In fact, a growing trend across the country is for home improvers and builders to install stained glass. The reason they are doing this may surprise you, but it makes perfect sense when you think about it–the newest trend in stained glass windows is for privacy. In a day and age where homes are closer together, privacy in cities and suburbs is harder to come by than ever before. Of course, stained glass is still a way to add beauty and elegance to any style home but forward-thinking homeowners are using it to solve a growing urban privacy issue. Below are the places we install stained glass for privacy most often. It is a new era for stained glass led by a new generation of homeowners who see it as both beautiful and functional.
Stained Glass In The Bathroom: The bathroom is a popular place for privacy stained glass and always has been. After all, it is somewhere you spend a lot of time and definitely don’t want prying eyes. Best of all stained glass does not stop natural light from getting in; keeping bathrooms bright and lovely.
Stained Glass In The Entryway: The entryway is both a popular and smart place for stained glass because it welcomes the guests into your home in style and gives you cover from people outside your home. This is a great place for a mix of flat and textured glass patterns–because it will still allow for you to see out at people knocking at your door. However, it still gives enough coverage that no one can see right into your home.

Stained Glass In The Kitchen: Stained glass in the kitchen may not seem like something that makes sense but it is definitely a growing trend and one we can’t get enough of it! We love it for windows that face other houses but for cabinet doors, it goes right along with the open cabinet trend too. But with stained glass as cabinet doors, you get an open cabinet look but still enough coverage to hide any clutter.

If you have a house over 80 years old in San Antonio then your glass is considered historic. In which case, if your stained glass has not been restored it may be time. Things to look for in your stained glass are
These signs are all readily apparent upon inspection, but what may not be as apparent is whether or not it is worth it to have the stained glass restored. You must weigh the pros and cons on each side of the equation and make an informed decision from there. Below we have listed a few pros and cons about restoring stained glass for you think about/
While it may not seem like much, the historic stained glass in your San Antonio home could be worth quite a bit of money depending on its post-restoration value and the market. Stained glass is very durable and America glass from the early part of the 20th century is particularly valuable because of the materials used by turn of the century craftsman. While the value of each window is unique, you can expect it to appraise for at least 4x that of a new stained glass window! Since stained glass costs anywhere from$150 to $500/per square foot, you could be sitting on quite a sum of money.
Since historic stained glass is an antique, it has obvious monetary value and part of that value is based on the fact that it is a historical treasure. Stained glass in many San Antonio homes was created by a master of the time and therefore is a cherished part of San Antonio’s illustrious history. By keeping and restoring the stained glass you are doing your part to keep the past alive in the city not only for you but for the entire city. Before you decide to remove your stained glass, a good idea is to see if you can get it appraised and/or find out the maker of the stained glass and/ or the history of the house.
There are no two ways about it, stained glass from early last century is extremely unique and adds charm to any home. If your stained glass simply looks dingy or has cracks, chips or missing glass, the beauty may not be readily apparent. After restoration, you will be shocked how different glass that looked like nothing much will change into something spectacular. Likely you have heard the phrase–”they just don’t build them like they used to”. This is a case where that is definitely true, stained glass in the US from last century (especially the first 30 years), was built exceptionally and almost no stained glass today rivals its durability, artist, and craftsmanship.
When it comes to vintage glass, depending on the size and scope or the repairs, the costs can start to add up. This is particularly true when the entire frame structure needs to be taken down and reconstructed. This cost may be prohibitive to some people.
Again is the stained glass restoration project covers many windows or many square footages of windows, the restoration process is lengthy. Another reason it may take a very long time is, if our studio needs to match a color or technique from 100+ years ago, it may take many iterations and kiln fires to get it right. There is no rushing such a delicate and important process and here at Scottish, we take historic restorations very seriously and will not deliver sub-par glass pieces–no matter how long it takes us to get it right.

Stained glass windows are an age-old design element that adorn the windows of churches, estates, and castles, as well as homes. They are luxurious and beautiful and their depictions, in cathedrals or historical settings, is often religious iconography that makes them especially valuable parts of our past. However, stained glass can be and is a very modern design element that is as particularly relevant to art and even pop culture. A revolution in stained glass expression is going on today, driven by modern architects and consumers, making modern free-form, abstract and geometric stained glass a much sought-after addition to homes and commercial buildings here in Kansas City and all over the United States. These windows are the picture of modern design and style and not at all cost-prohibitive for the everyday homeowner. What’s more, stained glass is something that architects are including in new, modern commercial designs as well. This is because stained glass is far more than biblical depictions and flowers. It enhances decor, adds color and sometimes, as a matter of practicality, is used for privacy. Read on to find out how stained glass windows are evolving and why they may be perfect for your Kansas City home.
While the general concept of stained glass has not changed much in the last 100s of years, the look of stained glass today is very different–and that is a good thing. Leading is still used, as are colors and textures but the depictions, or lack thereof, on the glass make it very different. Whereas religious iconography or floral patterns were the most popular in the past, today we are seeing more geometric patterns, abstract art, and even freeform designs. Also, stained glass windows are being used in places that simply would not have been considered before. Cabinet doors, room dividers, lobbies of commercial spaces and even skylights. This is in large part due to the universal availability of stained glass at this point in history but can be attributed to a growing consumer demand and acceptance of stained glass as art. Modern architects definitely have stained glass windows in their bag of tricks and use it profusely. Happily, the results could not be more stunning like the window below.
As you can see this is not your grandfather’s stained glass, as the saying goes. Today’s stained glass is a lovely combination of old world techniques and new world styles which brought to fruition a new generation of artistic stained glass that is more popular than ever.

You most often think about it on churches and then probably really old or fancy homes. You would not be incorrect in doing so but the truth is stained glass is just as accessible to modern or mid-range homes. In fact, a growing trend across the country for first time home buyers is to have stained glass installed.
In a day and age where homes are closer together in the cities and suburbs, privacy is becoming a commodity. Although stained glass is and always will be a way to add beauty to homes, today’s smart consumers are using it to solve the growing problem of little to no privacy in today’s modern homes. Below are the most popular places we install stained glass for a new generation of people who understand function is beautiful.
Stained Glass In The Bathroom: By far the most popular place for privacy stained glass is the bathroom. It goes without saying that this is somewhere you spend a lot of time where you simply cannot have prying eyes from outside peeping in at you. The reason our customers love stained glass here especially is the natural light that still readily penetrates the stained glass–keeping their bathrooms bright and vibrant.
Stained Glass In The Entryway: An entryway is a popular place for stained glass not only because it welcomes the guests to your home in style, but also because it gives you cover from those passing by and strangers who come to your door. This is a great place for a mix of flat and textured glass so you can still see out enough to know who is knocking but have enough coverage that no one can look straight into your home.
Stained Glass In The Kitchen: Stained glass in the kitchen may surprise you as a popular place but it is a growing trend that we just love here at Scottish. Not only is it great on windows that face other houses, so you don’t have to stare at your neighbors while you do dishes, but it is also a perfect dovetail with the trend of open cabinets. With stained glass as cabinet doors in the kitchen, you still get the look and feel of an open cabinet space but enough coverage to hide any clutter.
