New stained glass, Catford

The original glass in this door and side panels has been replaced with imitation leaded glass (where the pattern and colour are applied to a single sheet of glass by means of stick-on lead strips and coloured lacquers) which was both faded and broken.  We prepared a design based on the original which our client had previously researched.  The set was fitted behind laminated glass for security and extra support.  The uncoloured glass is Corella glass whereas the pale blue and amber are in English Muffle glass – we like the subtle contrast in textures this combination provides.

Our client commented:  ‘Thanks for everything to do with the glass - it's wonderful!’

Fitted in April 2014

Leaded lights, Victoria, Westminster, SW1

There are amongst a set of 7 new leaded glass panels fitted in a newly refurbished apartment in Central London. We worked closely with the client, who was concerned to respect the nature of the building, on the patterns and choice of the glass, and with the contractors who were carrying out the re-modelling.

All the glass is uncoloured, the borders are in Waterglass and the octagons in Crystal Ice, both from Spectrum and the squares, etc in Corella from Wissmach

Fitted in December 2011.

Obscured leaded glass door panel, Streatham

We and our client worked hard to get to this design, to compliment the monochrome house frontage and the local ‘look’, and to provide minimum transparency in the glass, at the same time providing visual interest.

The glasses used were 'Crystal Ice' from Spectrum - in the hexagons, a 'small Flemish' - in the 4 main squares and the centre, and Corella for the border.

8mm wide lead is used throughout.

Fitted in November 2011

Door panel in leaded glass

Our client wanted to restore the original look of this door - which had been glazed with a single panel of textured glass - but reflecting their liking for minimalism. Produced using mainly 10mm wide flat lead, and Corella glass for the bulk of the pattern. Fitted in September 2010.

Dulwich Village stained glass door panles

A quite simple but effective set of panels, with a pale green border, to meet our client's requirement to have the house number in the door (as do other houses in the street) but without too much complexity. Clear pieces in Corella glass. Execution of the numerals in white glass provides for maximum legibility.  Fitted in September 2010.

Blackheath Stained glass

Pair of new leaded door panels using a mixture of English Muffle Glass and Sahara/Corella, with a red border with outer uncoloured border in Water Glass from Spectrum.  Client decided against a traditional painted centre, in favour of a leaded motif based on some of the stucco work in this Edwardian house in Blackheath, SE3.  Fitted in June 2010

Leaded top light - Honor Oak, SE23

To complement the clients' new lighting, this sea/sky panel using mainly Corella and Spectrum Waterglass, with a deliberate mixture of lead widths replaced a plain glass panel above the front door. The old glass was removed and a double glazed sealed unit installed in the opening. The new leaded panel was then fitted next to this, and secured with new beading.

Fitted January 2010.

'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.

Art Deco style leaded glass

This uncoloured panel was produced from a clients idea, for him to install in a building under restoration. Its made up from 2 kinds of clear glass - Corella (main cental pieces and small edge pieces) and English Muffle (main border and central strip), using white flashed opal glass for the 3 triangular pieces. Overall size is around 610x570mm.

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.
