  Stained glass / leaded lights have always added real highlights to any building. They change constantly with light, and add interest to any architecture. They are also an excellent means of reducing the impact of less than perfect views!

  The advantages of double glazing stained glass go beyond the obvious fact of insulation and better security. They are alot easier to keep clean, and most significantly they can be made without those ungainly iron support rods crossing the whole image.

  At just over 3m, this pane is about as long as possible to produce without outgrowing standard production facilities. Even the glass sheets for the glazing become special ordering and handling, and the roller benches and bonding stations too are at their limit.
Cleaning the glass before encapsulation is a very painstaking task. A strong directional lightsource and very thorough panel mapping is the only way... the glass can't be lifted up and looked through as it would collapse under its own weight.

  Some views from inside the building. There is a focal point infront of the building that lines the 'ragged curves' of the railing (above left foreground) into the blue circle, and the clear disc just above the blue frames the design from the rear gable. (below)

  These designs all follow a theme suitable for a creative studio. The Sri Yantra (left) is one of the most ancient symbols in history representing creation and duality. Mars and Venus (right) continue this dual theme and hint at the rest of our solar system.

We can design any style of leaded light window, either coming up with original plans to match the particular placement of the finished piece, matching existing work, such as for extensions, or blending new and old.
