Leaded stained glass can give your window privacy without losing the natural light.

Leaded stained glass can give your window privacy without losing the natural light.

Do you have windows in your home that could use a little more privacy? If you do, but don’t want to lose the light, leaded stained glass could be your answer. Leaded stained glass is made up of clear textured glass that can give you the privacy you want without losing the natural light.

The terms leaded glass and stained glass are frequently used interchangeably, but for our purposes, when we say leaded stained glass, we are talking about the colorless kind, not the vivid colors you might see in a church window. Many people are not even aware that you could make stained glass without color, but when they see the delicate and elegant designs of leaded stained glass, they are impressed.

When it comes to leaded stained glass, it can be made in any style or pattern or design, from antique to modern and anything in between. When it comes to Stained Glass San Antonio, we custom design each piece we make expressly to your tastes and style and the décor of your house. When it comes to adding some privacy to the windows in your entryway, the front of your home, your bedroom, or your bathroom, leaded stained glass is definitely the way to go.

It adds beauty and value, blocks prying eyes, and still lets the sunshine through into your home, which is so important. A practical and aesthetic win-win, wouldn’t you agree?

Why not work together with one of our local designers to create your perfect leaded stained glass windows? Here’s how it works: We’ll send our designer right to your home to take a look at the space where you would like to add leaded stained glass. She will show you designs, patterns, photos, samples, etc. You will choose the one you love, or perhaps even create something entirely new and unique. Next, the blueprint for the window will be created with our CAD (Computer assisted design) technology. The local artisan who will build the window will receive the perfected and approved blueprint, and get to work, cutting and assembling each piece of glass by hand.

Leaded stained glass has a long and storied history, but the main things you need to know about it are that it is beautiful. It is durable. And it will take your home’s décor to the next level of loveliness entirely!
