"Our entire experience with Stained in Glass has been nothing short of first class. From the initial contact, the countless renderings, the fabrication process down to the care and handling of the final product, couldn't have been better. The patience and courtesy during the design process was worth the cost in itself. We could not be any happier with our replacement door panel and the decision to go with Stained in Glass. Highly highly recommended!!"

:: From The Start ::

The customer contacted us initially to enquire as to whether we could produce a stained glass panel that would be suitable for exterior use, we said 'yes' and so it began. The customer sent us pictures of his front door showing the panel that needed replacing and a picture of a side window with a floral motif that he wanted us to incorporate into the new panel.

:: The Design Process ::

With the color brief given to us we set about creating some artist's impressions. This was quite tricky as the customer was unsure as to the 'type' and 'texture' of glass he would like. We provided him with a source so that he could look at the many types of glass that were available and upon selecting a handful we provided examples, we eventually hit the nail on the head. As the customer had submitted a photo of where the panels was going to end up we were able to produce examples with the design superimposed into the space to try to give a better feel for what the end panel might look like.

:: The Build ::

As our projects progress we like to keep a photo diary. We make this diary availble to the customer so they can see how things are going at any time in the project. We hope this gives the customer a sense on inclusion as the build process can sometimes be several weeks, and as the saying goes 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. This is just a small sample of those photos.

We try to include images showing the panels in varying lights like facing the sun, the sun behind the panel, this helps to demonstrate the visuals of what might be expected once the panel is in situ. Once the panels are complete we produce a set of large photos so that the panels can be inspected at close quarters. These include close-up of came work and the like so that you can really see the details of the work.
