Technologies

We create stained-glass according to the sketches of the artists individually for each
order. When creating a sketch, we agree with the client on the choice of materials and
stained glass production technology.

We use classic stained glass technologies and combine them to achieve the desired result. Such methods include fusing, tiffany, facetting, stained glass painting and profile stained glass.

Tiffany

Tiffany stained glass associated with the name of American artist and designer Louis Comfort
Tiffany, who experimented with improving stained glass production technology. Under his management found a solution for the formation of glass plates in the stained glass now used by stained glass manufacturers around the world.

Tiffany’s technology is that every piece of glass is wrapped in copper tape and fits on the sketch template. Prepared items are bundled between a tin solder. The use of copper tape distinguishes this method from profile stained-glass where rough metal profiles are used.

It was Tiffany who opened up new opportunities for working with stained glass. First, unlike
using a lead profile, the soldering copper foil can be joined pieces glass at different angles. And the designers have the opportunity to create stained glass windows of any shape, both flat and voluminous.

Second, Tiffany technology allows you to use more small details, because, the connecting lines are thin and inconspicuous. Thanks to the invisible contour of the stained glass received a noble and elegant appearance. This technique enabled artists create drawings of smaller elements that look lighter and more delicate.

Tiffany’s technique was used to make lampshades, chandeliers, vases and more decor items where working on small curved surfaces requires connection large number of small fragments in a single composition.

There is another advantage to this technique. Connecting lines can be silver or with the help of patina they can be painted in different colors: shades of gold, “aged” colors, all the way to black, forming a complete image of the product, conceived by the designer.

Fusing

Fusing (from fuse – baking, melting) – one of the varieties of stained glass art. It is carried out by the method of melting glass in the oven at a temperature of 800 ° C. This glass of different colors melts into one another.

The result is a single one the assembled product.

Fusing does not require the use of metal connections. With the help of fusing you can get bulk products, home decor and paintings. The advantage of such products is that that the color of the glass is enhanced and brought to life by the reflection of light from the surface, which acquired a special property after melting.

Facet Stained Glass

Facet

Facet has a well-deserved place among various stained glass technologies. The facet is edge, cut, chamfer on the outside of the glass. Refraction of light in this section gives great shine. To get a wider chamfer, which enhances the refractive effect light, requires a thicker glass, which increases the weight of the stained glass. Therefore, ready faceted parts are assembled into a stronger (brass or copper) frame.

It is recommended to place such stained glass in interior doors, to insert in furniture. Such a frame is able to withstand the load when opened and closed. Golden hue copper or brass frames give the products a precious look that is seen in the lumen, and what is reflected in the light that is important to the stained glass.

The interiors, which are decorated with stained-glass of facet elements, shine through faces and become truly diamond jewelry at home.

Profile stained glass

Profile or classic stained glass – these are cut or specially cast pieces of glass different sizes and colors that are joined together by metal lead, copper or brass profile.

The metal profile of stained glass connects rather large pieces of glass, so classic stained glass they can have any area on request. Different thickness of metal profile allows to produce both small and large canvases of classical stained glass.

Custom profile stained-glass are often used for windows, interior doors, furniture, attic, partitions or as a decorative panel.

Stained glass paintings

Stained glass paintings

Stained glass painting is the creation of paintings on glass. Features of technology the process allows you to draw the smallest elements of the decor, to convey lightness of shapes and volumes, as well as hundreds of color transitions. Creating such transparent paintings can be associated with batik or watercolor painting.
Stained glass painting is used if you want to depict a human face. Especially the stained glass painting becomes relevant when creating church stained glass where needed depict the face of the saint. The same technique of stained glass painting is used for images of any subtle and refined inscription.
Special silicone paints are used for stained glass painting. Elements after the application of a layer of painting is fired in the furnace. This process is repeated several times. At Burning painting melts into glass and becomes one with it. This allows painting keep on the surface of the stained glass for centuries.
