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.

'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.

Croydon stained glass

Installed August 2009. Here we made a new centre panel - with the 2 doves, and several new border pieces. Previous the original leaded panels had been replaced with plain glass.

These 3 views - from the inside looking out, from the outside, and pre-installation against a difusing background, show just how variable the appearance of the same glass is under different conditions of light.










We particulaly like the aquamarine 'waterglass' in the centre, which is streaked with blue.
