Framed stained glass can make a beautiful work of art.
Stained glass is commonly installed in windows or doors of various shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. However, it does not have to be installed in a window. That’s just one way of enjoying this ancient and beautiful art form.
It doesn’t occur to most people that stained glass can be framed with a border and be hung on a wall like a painting. A painting that will reflect light like no other!
This hanging style panel can be placed in front of a bigger, existing window. Framed stained glass can even be hung on your patio or in your garden. Imagine a custom designed stained glass piece that you could pick up and move anywhere you wanted to in your home or office. Fantastic idea for those who want stained glass but love to redecorate and remodel their homes on a regular basis.
Framed stained glass is popular with people who want its beauty in their homes but are planning to move, and don’t want a permanent installation. Of course, none of our installations are permanent, they can all be uninstalled and moved as well. But your panel might not fit your new windows. Framed stained glass solves this problem nicely.
At Stained Glass San Antonio, each panel we design and construct is hand crafted to your specifications. You can have a traditional panel to go in a window, or a panel with a border or frame. In fact, if you like antique stained glass, we have a collection of windows from Scotland that are over 100 years old. Each one has been refurbished and restored to its original glory. They are intact inside their original window frames. Take a look at our antique collection gallery to get an idea of what antique stained glass might look like. These pieces can be hung on a wall or in a window.
The border you choose for your framed stained glass is entirely up to you. Thick or thin, wood or metal. Yes, a stained glass panel is pretty heavy. We make sure that the frames are sturdy enough and the method of hanging ensures a durable, safe, installation. With our over two decades in the stained glass field, we have the experience to do fine custom work, both window stained glass and framed stained glass.
