Stained Glass supplier to the areas of Birmingham
In the olden days stained glass was manufactured
using small pieces of glass fixed together with a lead strip
and soldered to keep the
design together. Although this procedure is sometimes still
used
today, the modern overlay stained glass is a more popular
and versatile product. This Stained Glass can be found
all over the country and it is especially popular
in the Birmingham area
and has been used on some of Birminghams grand buildings and
executive homes.
Toughened glass can be used in our stained glass along
with self adhesive lead strip and transparent colour films.
These materials produce a beautiful effect that lasts. When
using natural lead strip, we can solder the joints of the
lead to help make it unrecognisable from the traditional
style of leaded lites. For some of the larger
projects in the Birmingham area we can actually come out and
visit you to discuss your aims and ideas for your decorative
glass project through
our Executive
Service. We can also design glass, manufacture the glass
and deliver the glass to the Birmingham area by using our Client
Pages service to help keep the costs down.
What
are the benefits of modern stained glass in Birmingham?
The modern procedure used throughout Birmingham has
many advantages over the original stained glass technique.
Energy
saving
is a
big
concern
in todays world and with our stained glass design being
manufactured as a stained glass overlay onto a single sheet
of glass,
this
reduces the possibility of the cold weather coming into the
home through the joints of the design. Modern stained glass
can also be applied directly onto energy saving Pilkington
K Glass and this glass is now a building regulations
requirement for every new window and door installation
throughout the area of Birmingham and the rest of the UK including

Durability
and security are another advantage with the modern day stained
glass technique and this is very important to Birmingham home
owners. Applying the design directly onto toughened glass
or laminated glass provides long lasting
and secure
decorative
glass.
In
the past people have paid thousands of pounds for the old
stained glass products only to find that small coloured
sections
of the design have cracked within weeks. This cannot happen
with our product.
The materials
There are literally hundreds of overlay
colours to choose from for use in the modern day stained
glass and most colours can be combined with a frosted
overlay to create an even larger range of colours.
Adhesive lead strip also comes in many colours with the
old favourite
through the 80's and 90's being natural lead colour. Today
almost every job we create in the Birmingham area is manufactured
using antique lead
which is a dark brown or almost black colour. Leadbitter
Glass has many different lead finishes to choose from
and you can view these different finishes in our Leaded
Glass section. If you are planning to have stained glass
or any decorative glass supplied for your Birmingham home
or business, make sure that you contact
us today
