'Mackintosh' leaded glass in Reigate

This delicate panel was fitted in December 2009 in the client's new oak door. It uses three quite different colours and types of red/pink glass, and the background is made from clear Corella. We've used both 5mm and 6mm wide lead to provide more delicacy to the detail of the rose.

'Mondrian' leaded panel with double glazing

Fitted in December 2009, as the Copenhagen climate summit was going on, this panel was installed with a double glazed sealed unit (dgsu), at the client's request.

The leaded panel is fitted as normal, to the outside of the opening, and sealed in. The dgsu was then mounted next to the leaded panel from the hall side, the two panels separated by a black foam sealing strip, the whole being retained with new timber beading.

The pictures were taken at the same time, demonstrating the effect of the position of the light - the first one, looking out into the relatively bright street, and the second looking in to the darker hall.
