New stained glass door panel, Streatham

stained glass StreathamThis was a new panel, based on a design identified by the client, to replace plain glass in the main door. It is supported by 2 horizontal saddle bars, and the uncoloured glass is English Muffle. One of the side panels that had become damaged was rebuilt at the same time.
Fitted February 2012

Stained glass door panels, Peckham

We’d made and fitted the pair of higher level panels on the left of this (rather fuzzy) photo in 2010, and our clients came back for the door panels to be based on the same idea. These are fitted with quite hefty support bars, although their alignment with the horizontal lead lines means they aren’t particularly apparent.

Fitted in December 2011.

Stained glass door panel, Forest Hill, SE23

stained glass Forest HillThe middle pieces of this circle had come out of the lead and were at some risk of dropping out. Three out of 4 of the border pieces were damaged. The panel was removed and the space boarded over. After disassembly, we cut new glass to replace the 3 broken pieces, and since we were unable to exactly match the glass, a 4th piece was also cut out to provide a matching set. The panel was rebuilt with new lead, and fitted with 2 vertical retaining bars (not present originally), aligned with the leads, and secured to the panel with tie-wires – this should contribute to the durability of the panel.

Fitted in December 2011.

Stained glass, Forest Hill, SE23

This quite unusual shaped stained glass door panel has become very loose and at risk of collapsing.  After removal, we made a template from the opening to ensure the rebuilt panel would fit!  The leaded panel was taken apart and salvaged, matching glass cut to replace the broken pieces.  The panel was reamde with new lead and fitted with vertical support rods.

Fitted in November 2011.
