Scottish Stained Glass Austin, Texas

Austin, Texas is a diverse, culturally aware city scattered with talented musicians and thriving independent businesses. It is a cultural and economic center, with an evolving architectural interest. Skyscrapers are becoming a stronger presence in the skyline, but preserving the view of the Texas State Capital Building is a requirement. In Austin, we value our local economy and rich history. There are also a plethora of neighborhoods which fill the city of Austin ranging from historic to suburban, trendy to traditional. No matter which neighborhood you live in or which architecture styles you prefer Scottish Stained Glass can create a unique piece of art for your residence or business that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Design Styles of Stained Glass for Austin Homes

All our stained and leaded glass windows are custom-designed, making it possible to reflect both your distinctive style and the charm of your home. Within a larger city such as Austin, stained glass allows your home to stand out and make an individualized statement while also staying true to its original integrity. Though all of our stained glass windows are custom made and designed per client, there are several general genres that have influenced and inspired some of our pieces in the past. We have created Prairie Style inspired stained glass, Celtic stained glass, modern and contemporary stained glass, and traditional stained and leaded glass windows. Our designers always remember the importance of listening to our clients. We want your Scottish Stained Glass window and door panels to reflect your personal style as well as your homes architecture in your window’s design.

Installation of Stained Glass for Austin Homes

Many of our clients tell us that they had two reasons for installing stained glass or leaded glass in their Austin homes. Firstly they want to make a beautiful artistic statement in a window that had very little in the way of design features or perhaps looked out on a less than aesthetic view. Secondly and perhaps, more importantly, our clients want privacy from unwanted viewers looking in from the outside. As many of our Austin homes are built closer and closer together, the need for window coverings becomes more and more necessary. Blinds, shades, and curtains will block the natural light so stained glass becomes a great choice, both for beauty and functionality. The obvious places in the home would be the entryway and bathroom windows, but stained glass can also be applied where there is no impending need for privacy. Basement windows are another practical yet unexpected location to apply stained glass. When available, it is important to maintain natural light in basements. When there are windows in a basement, often times there are unattractive views of window wells that you want to avoid. Scottish Stained Glass provides a solution that will allow that natural light to keep coming into space while replacing the unpleasant view with a beautiful, customized piece. We have also installed many of our individualized stained glass pieces in kitchen cabinets and windows. Stained and leaded glass in your kitchen cabinets is a great way to incorporate unique design elements, lighten up your kitchen as a whole, and show off your worldly spice collection.

Moving with Your Austin Stained Glass

Do you have a custom piece from Scottish Stained Glass that you love and don’t want to live without? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Many of our Austin residents love their stained glass pieces so much they don’t want to move without them, even though they do add property value to your resale price. Simply schedule an appointment with us and we’d be happy to remove your stained glass windows and carefully transport them for re-installation. We serve cities throughout the Texas area for those moving out of Austin. We also serve many other cities across the nation, so if you’re moving out of state chances are that we can help with re-installation as well.

The Scottish Stained Glass Process For Austin Homes

When you think about stained glass you likely think of something very old and traditional.  While you wouldn’t be wrong, the truth is stained glass has evolved to become much more. Modern stained glass is dynamic and takes a host of new methods to properly create. As it were,  we here at Scottish Stained Glass have honed our skills, both traditional and modern to take the stained glass process to a whole new level. In fact, our unique process is unlike any other and something that has taken decades to hone.

We Use Modern And Traditional Techniques

Our method here at  Scottish Stained Glass in Austin uses a combination of traditional methods and modern techniques. Scottish Stained Glass uses both Photoshop and CAD technologies to ensure that our glass is exactly correct before manufacture.  Each design is reviewed 8-10 times before it is finalized (including a final client review). Our stained glass designs are further enhanced by:

• The use of dark leads
• Hidden solder joints
• Precise soldering temperatures
• A unique polishing process
• A combination of computer-enhanced designing and freehand designing

The stunning results are obvious in every pristine piece of stained glass artwork that comes out of our studio.

Our Standards Of Quality Are Higher

Sadly, today’s stained glass is often of poor quality.  They say the devil is in the details and with stained glass that is especially true.  When you look at the fine details of most stained glass today, you will find the leading and joints are often different colors, the horizontal and vertical lines often don’t match-up and the design proportions and color choices are not well thought out.  This is in large part because most stained glass artisans do not utilize digital mediums to double check their work before manufacturing. Since we at Scottish use both traditional hand-sketched designs in coordination with computer-aided drafting our work is precise and beautiful from afar and very close up.

Our Customer Experience Is Impeccable

You will often hear us talk about the “Scottish Difference”.  While this definitely pertains to the final stained glass product you get from us, it also refers to the way we get there.  Meaning, how we treat our customers is as important as the lovely stained glass we craft for them. With Scottish, you are sure to find us attentive to your needs and responsive throughout the process.  From your first consultation, until the last contractor leaves your home, your experience should be as wonderful as the work of stained glass art we install in your home.

Our Stained Glass Is Built To Last

After 20 years, 12,000 customers, and 40,000 windows one thing that we excel at here at Scottish Stained Glass in Austin is stained glass that lasts.  We have spent decades refining our process to allow for stained glass to be sealed inside external windows for additional energy efficiency and extended life.  This technique allows us to sandwich the windows between two other panes of glass so you get protection from condensation as well as accidental breakage. Furthermore, our lead additives mean to extend the life of leading from 100 years to 200 years–meaning the stained glass on your Austin home will most assuredly outlive you–pretty impressive. This often means Scottish Stained Glass will take about twice as long to make when it comes from our Austin studio and cost a little bit more. But you truly do pay for what you get in the world of stained glass and the extra you pay with us means getting the most innovative designs, impeccable customer service, and the highest quality craftsmanship money can buy.
