This
large executive home was built by its owners in 1999
and one of the many focal points of this
amazing luxury home is this very large bevelled
glass arch supplied
by the Leadbitter Glass Studio.
This large bevelled toughened glass panel measures
1350mm x 2100mm and contains 120 bevelled
glass pieces. The bevelled
border consists of 70 bevels alone and the arch at the
top of the window was created by using 50mm square bevels
each with a slight tilt to create the curve. 9mm natural
lead (Option 1) was used for the border with 6mm natural
lead being used for the large centre cluster.
As you can see by the photo on the right the customer
wanted the bevels to be on the inner pane of glass so
the bevels are actually inside the home and what you
can see in the photo is the back leaded part of the design.
The photo at the bottom of this page shows how the
glass looks from inside the
home
and at night time, when the hall light is on in the home,
the bevels light up and create a beautiful feature window.
We
went back to the home in 2010 to take these photos and
because the decorative side of the glass was installed
facing into the home, the leadwork still looks as shiny
as the
day it was installed 11 years earlier. Natural
lead tends to dull and change colour to a darker grey
lead
after
the
weather
has deoxidised the lead.
Leadbitter Glass can design and manufacture any sized
feature windows in any of of our decorative
glass techniques.
Once an order is placed with us, we can provide you with
a 'to scale' CGI proof of your glass design in our Client
Pages section before we get to work on the glass. This
is a great way of making
sure that you - the customer is totally happy with your
chosen design before delivery day arrives.
Our Client Pages service
is unique to Leadbitter Glass and you can read more
about it in our Glass
Design Service section.
