Beckenham leaded glass

A simple but effective design to introduce a feature into a dark-ish hall-way, replacing a plain leaded light. Size around 0.5 x 1.0m. Fitted with a panel of laminated safety glass to the outside for protection. Our client, with whom we worked to carefully select the glass to be used, said it was 'fantastic' and that seeing it 'made her day!'

Installed September 2009.

Bromley - leaded front door set

Installed September 2009, this set of 3 leaded panels replace a former (but possibly not original,) set in plain 'bobble' or pebble glass, where the centre circle had become badly bowed. They are in clear English Muffle glass with the amber strip in Corella, the high lights using ruby red Spectrum 'granite', rough rolled 'grape' from the same glass maker and a green from Wissmach.

These shots from the inside show the vertical strengthening bars, which do cross the pattern, however this is less obvious from the outside, and will be important to prevent bowing of this new panel.

The shadows are from the porch, which is not original to the house.
