Creating Windows
Designing, making and fitting new windows
A process which involves:
-
meeting clients to discuss the project,
-
presenting design ideas leading to a finished design.
Once approved, the window can be made:
-
A full-size drawing is produced from which coloured glass is cut,
-
Glass is then painted with the elements of
the design. The painted glass is then
leaded, cemented and the finished
window fitted.
