We Know: All About Stained Glass Windows
About Stained Glass Windows
Stained glass windows aren't just for churches. They can brighten any room, and make wonderful gifts. Many stores
sell stock glass windows but you can also order custom windows from stained glass artisans. Typically, custom stain
glass is charged by the square foot with some being more expensive than others if the design is intricate or complicated.
Things to Know About Stained Glass Windows
When thinking about investing in stained glass windows, consider the following:
- Stained glass windows can be custom fitted for any size window frame. They can also be made in a variety of shapes.
- You can hire the glass maker to incorporate your own custom designs.
- Turnaround times among stained glass makers vary. If you need a window by a certain deadline, make sure they'll be
able to accommodate you.
- In many cases, a stained glass window can be installed on top of an existing window, and held in place with mirror
clips or wood trim. This also makes it easy to remove the stained glass window at a later date.
- A stained glass window can be used as a window hanging instead of being installed permanently or over an existing
window.
- A stained glass window can be installed on an entry door, in kitchen cabinet doors, transoms and other places where
clear glass is usually installed.
- They can be framed or unframed.
- Glass windows can be sealed with tempered glass for added insulation.
