Stained Glass supplier to the areas of Greater London
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 Greater London area and has been used on some of Greater Londons grand buildings and executive homes.

Unlike the old method, toughened glass can be used in our stained glass along with self adhesive 100% 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 Greater London towns and villages 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 Greater London area by using our Client Pages service to help keep the costs down.

What are the benefits of modern stained glass over traditional methods in Greater London?
The modern procedure used commonly throughout the Greater London area 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 energy saving glass is now a building regulations requirement for every new window and door installation throughout the area of Greater London as well as the rest of the UK.

Durability and security are another advantage with the modern day stained glass technique and this is very important to all Greater London area home owners. Applying the design directly onto toughened glass or laminated glass provides long lasting and secure decorative glass. In the past, homeowners 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 of installation. 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 your area of Greater London are 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 and in recent times 'chrome' lead has been added to the stock list.
