On-site Consultation: Our stained glass process begins with an on-site professional design consultation. Our on-site visit allows us to determine the requirements, priorities, and goals for each client’s stained glass project. Your project manager will sit down with you to discuss stained glass design possibilities including stylings, colors, overall appearance, location, and more.
Hand Drawn Designs: Our design experts begin producing illustrations of your stained glass ideas after assessing your design goals and priorities. One of our artists intently draws the life-size design for the panel for you to review. This process takes into consideration any changes or additions you’d like to make to the design.
CADing of Design: After the hand drawn illustration is reviewed and completed, we recreate the pattern using CAD (computer-aided design) technology to ensure optimal accuracy of the measurements and proportions.
Photoshop for Approval: Once the CAD is complete, we utilize Photoshop to add color into the design to present the finalized product. We send you the completed image and wait for final approval before production.
Construction: After you’ve sign off on approval, we begin the construction process for your custom stained glass window. Each individual piece of glass is handpicked and inspected for quality. We have over 10,000 stained glass pieces in our inventory, ensuring we’ll find the perfect color and texture. If we don’t have the right piece in our inventory, we have one blown. The panel is assembled utilizing the CAD as a blueprint. We utilize a proprietary mixture of lead and tin to ensure durability for generations to come. After glass construction is complete, the panel is carefully cleaned to remove any excess cement or particles.
Installation: We carefully transport your new stained glass to your home, business, or church for installation. A piece of low-e safety glass may be added over the top of the stained glass in order to further protect your investment from any potential accidents and the elements.
Years of Enjoyment: Once your stained glass is fully installed, you can enjoy its luminous beauty for several years to come. Many stained glass windows can last centuries and are passed down to future generals to be treasured. Stained glass typically requires restoration around the 75 year to 100 year mark, which we are happy to do for you. If you ever plan on moving and would like to take your stained glass with you, Scottish is happy to assist with removal and reinstallation.
Did you know that stained glass begins to deteriorate around the 75 year to 100 year mark? Most of the beautiful, antique stained glass pieces housed throughout churches, cathedrals, chapels, and other houses of worship are beginning to experience this process. Signs of deterioration can include warped glass shape appearing concave or convex, damaged or missing glass pieces, brittle lead came, discoloration, white film appearing on the glass itself, and much more. As deterioration begins, it’s pertinent to start the restoration process before any permanent damage is done.
With proper restoration, your religious stained glass can last another century, providing inspiration for generations to come. Our renowned religious stained glass restoration process ensures that we perfectly match both the glass and lead came that holds the pieces of glass together, restoring your stained glass windows to their original beauty. Your congregation will be stunned by the luminous clarity and embrace the powerful imagery showcased by your religious stained glass.
Stained glass provides the most elegant privacy solution that elevates curb appeal while providing necessary seclusion for the most private areas of your home including your bathroom. While traditional window coverings can appear tacky, become mildewy from overexposure to moisture, and prevent natural light transmissions, stained glass offers a wonderful alternative for home bathrooms. Whether you choose colorful stained glass or clear leaded glass, both can obstruct unwanted views in while allowing an abundance of beautiful, natural sunlight into your bathroom.
Stained glass allows homeowners to achieve that highly desired “grand entry” aesthetic in any home. Whether you choose custom sidelights or pre-designed transoms, stained glass delivers that classic, timeless look for both traditional and contemporary style homes. Stained glass can double as a privacy solution as well, obstructing any unwanted views from neighbors or onlookers into your entryway.
Incorporating stained glass into restaurants, pubs, and hotels has always been very popular especially when it comes to custom designed stained glass windows, signage, ceilings, and other creative applications. Stained glass can be utilized as a powerful visual marketing tool for businesses to increase brand visibility as well as captivating decorative elements.
