Glass Victorian Door Set |
|
This
very large project was completed by Leadbitter Glass
in early 2002. The door set consisted of 6 large panels
making up a door, 2 sides and a 3 top-light combination.
Each panel was made up using 4mm toughened single glazed
glass because with the lack of a deep rebate, double
glazed sealed units could not be installed into this
traditional
door.
The bevels used were
not the standard clear bevels that we would normally
use on most bevelled glass jobs,
these bevels each had a gluechip glass front to help
with
the privacy
requirements of the clients. Around the panels we overlayed
a green marble stained glass film and everywhere else
was covered in frosted glass films - Crackle and Sparkle.
The leaded glass sides of the design was normal 6mm
lead which was then soldered together and aged with our
ageing
chemical
to
give a
darker, more traditional look. Once the design was completed
it created a very grand entrance way which complimented
the original tiled mosaic floor and authentic victorian
staircase in the hall of this grand 7 bedroom home.
We recently visited the house again in 2010 to take
these promotional photos and the glass looks as good
as the
day it was installed 8 years earlier. This
is a testament to
how durable
our materials are even when used in a single glazed capacity.
