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.
