<\/a><\/p>\nStained Glass Vs. Leaded Glass: What’s the Difference?<\/h2>\n
If you do a quick search for “stained glass” online, you’ll see that styles range greatly in appearance. Some include highly colorful, ornate designs while others lack color completely and rely solely on the use of shape and texture. This may cause some confusion. After all, doesn’t the word “stained” imply the use of color? \u201cStained glass\u201d is the popular term used to describe what is more properly called \u201cleaded glass,\u201d because the materials used can be colored (stained) or not. Often, customers use the terms interchangeably. However, it is the use of lead caming<\/a> that qualifies a window as being of the “leaded glass” variety. Only when colored glass is used can the term “stained glass” be used appropriately. <\/p>\n Even though stained glass windows are a type of leaded glass, industry experts often use them separately to create distinction between the two. This makes it easier for customers to understand what type of window they’re referring to. Within the industry, \u201cleaded\u201d suggests no color, and \u201cstained\u201d implies color.<\/p>\n At Scottish Stained Glass, we produced both leaded glass windows made from clear glass and those made from colored glass. Our gallery of stained glass windows<\/a> illustrates the range and variety of both clear and colored styles and designs we offer.<\/p>\n Stained and leaded glass windows are about equal in popularity, though they are typically used in different settings. Clear is currently the more popular of the two choices for residential or commercial clients, but a bit of color can be very nice for an accent. Colorful pieces are also more popular for historic homes and buildings or are sometimes chosen to create a vintage effect. <\/p>\n However, when it comes to religious architecture, stained glass is the traditional choice. Church<\/a> clients tend to choose full color. <\/p>\n With or without color \u2013 or a mixture \u2013 we custom manufacture and custom design thousands of stained glass windows for clients throughout the country. In fact, at last count, our company had designed and manufactured over 30,000 pieces, the majority of which did not use color. With more than 30 years of experience, we are stained glass experts.<\/p>\n Man has been using glass as a medium to make art for hundreds of years<\/a>. The earliest known use of colored glass dates back to Ancient Egyptian times. Colored glass beads were a popular choice for jewelry and for decorating pottery. Beveled edges became a popular option for mirrors. Later, as artists became more progressive and innovative, they began using colored glass to create elaborate and decorative windows. <\/p>\n For this reason, there is a huge variety of stained glass and leaded glass window styles that exist today. Some of the better known styles include Mackintosh stained glass, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Tiffany glass, FLW or prairie style, and beveled glass<\/a>. <\/p>\n Any size, shape, color, or stained glass window design you can imagine, we can create for you. There are also hundreds of colors and styles of glass to choose from including a wide array of \u201cclear\u201d options including beveled and textured choices such as waterglass (wavy design) granite and iced granite, glue chip (with a feathery texture that may look like ice crystals have frosted the window), hammered and small hammered styles, artique, baroque, chord (vertical lines) and many others.<\/p>\n Stained glass windows always add to the value of a home. Clients usually want the windows to blend in with the existing architectural style and usually choose to keep the colors clear or neutral for a future purchaser. Sometimes however colors are chosen to coordinate with semi-permanent finishes such as granite or tile colors. <\/p>\n In all cases, we honor the client\u2019s choices and preferences, though we will offer an unbiased opinion about what approach might best achieve the desired effect. Because we have been making stained glass for such a long time, we have a fairly good idea of what styles will look best in the home and help increase its value. <\/p>\n If you are looking for stained glass windows of exceptional quality and beauty, custom designed for your unique taste and home, you\u2019ve come to the right place!
