Stained glass manufactured near your own town.
When it comes to manufacturing, many of the products we American consumers purchase are from the other side of the world. Many of these items are mass produced, perhaps in a sweat shop, with little personal attention put into the process. We are not knocking mass produced items. We all have them. And sometimes, they are perfect for our needs. And sometimes, we want something made by hand, the old fashioned, high-quality, attention to detail way, right in our neighborhood – by members of our community.
At Stained Glass San Antonio, we create locally manufactured stained glass windows. These hand built pieces are created by stained glass artisans who take pride in each and every piece that they build. Our work is custom, our attention is to detail, quality, and beauty, and our customers can easily see the difference.
The phrase, “think globally, act locally,” has been popular around the country for some time. In San Antonio, people have a strong sense of community and pride in their town and its accomplishments. When it comes to beautifying your home, adding artwork to a home, San Antonio residents are frequently interested in supporting their local artists.
We consider our artisans part of this lively and thriving community of San Antonio artists. If you were to see them work, you might be very surprised. Although each locally manufactured stained glass window pattern we create is done by computer technology, once the pattern is approved, genuine old fashioned craftsmanship takes over.
Using the pattern as a blueprint, our local stained glass builders cut each piece of glass by hand, following that blueprint. Not only is the glass cut by hand, the lead strips that hold the glass together are also cut by hand to the exact size, they are all assembled, and the joints are soldered to hold the piece together. Then, the entire piece is polished to a soft luster and it’s ready to be installed in your home.
We believe there is a big difference between the locally manufactured stained glass we produce and the type you might pick up in a big box store. We use only the highest quality glass, special dark leads, soldering at precise temperatures, but the real difference is in the love and care each of our windows receives. First from the designer who will come to you home and work with you, then from the builder who will cut and assemble your window.
And finally, from you, the consumer who will love and appreciate our artwork in your home for many years to come.
If you are looking for locally made, hand-built custom stained glass for your home or office, look no further. We hope you’ll give Stained Glass San Antonio a call today.
