Leaded Glass for Privacy and Natural Light

Our leaded glass windows strike a perfect balance between maintaining privacy and inviting natural light into your spaces.

These windows are particularly beneficial in urban areas like Chicago, where close proximity to neighbors often necessitates privacy solutions. Whether it’s for a bathroom, entryway, or living room, our leaded glass windows lend an element of sophistication while serving a practical purpose.

How Getting Stained Glass Installed In Your Chicago Home Works

Installing a custom stained glass in your Chicago home is an exciting journey that we at Scottish Stained Glass make seamless and rewarding. It starts with an initial consultation where we discuss your ideas, assess your space, and gain an understanding of your style and requirements. Our designers then work on sketches or digital renderings of your design, revising them until they perfectly reflect your vision.

The creation phase follows, where our skilled artisans bring your design to life with their craftsmanship. Using high-quality materials, they carefully cut, assemble, and solder each piece of glass into the design, paying meticulous attention to detail.

Finally, the installation phase. We offer two types of installations: the traditional method where the stained glass is installed as the actual window, and the bonding method where the stained glass is bonded to the inside of an existing window. Both methods are performed with utmost care by our experienced installers, ensuring the longevity and beauty of your stained glass.

Our Stained Glass Installation Choices

At Scottish Stained Glass, we offer a variety of installation choices to suit your unique needs. You can choose to have your stained glass piece traditionally installed as a window or door, which involves removing the existing glass. Alternatively, we offer a bonding method where the stained glass is bonded onto an existing window. This not only preserves the original window but also provides added insulation. Whichever method you choose, our professional installation team in Chicago ensures that your stained glass is installed securely and beautifully, ready to grace your home for years to come.

stained glass maintenance

Maintaining Stained Glass Windows

Maintaining the splendor of your stained glass windows involves a delicate blend of preventive care and occasional cleaning. At Scottish Stained Glass, we provide guidance on how to preserve the beauty and longevity of your installations. Dusting with a soft brush or a dry cloth can prevent accumulation of dust and debris. For more thorough cleaning, a gentle solution of warm soapy water applied with a soft cloth can be used. It’s important to avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the glass and lead soldering. Regular inspections for cracks or gaps in the lead can also help in early detection of potential issues.
