The purpose of stained and leaded windows is to add interest and substance to the property in which they are situated.

During the design process a number of important issues need to be taken into account, for example the position and size of the window can affect the available light within the room/property and Security and Safety are of prime concern especially in relation to building regulations regarding the use of safety glass within certain areas of the home.

Safety glass is either toughened or laminated.

Toughened glass is made by a process which makes it approximately 3 or 4 times more resistant to breaking.

Laminated is heavier than toughened glass and is made by sandwiching sheets of thinner glass around a plastic layer. When struck laminated glass will crack but should remain in one piece.

We can incorporate any type of glass into double glazed units.

At Starlight Stained Glass we always work with you, our customers, to provide windows to your specification and design, offering the benefit of our years of experience to ensure the finished window provides many years of pleasure.

This process may be through sketched designs or photographs of your own, or our interpretation of designs that you describe to us, after all we are not all blessed with artistic talents and sometimes it is easier to put into words what you can't draw on paper.

At all stages of the design process you, our customers, will be kept informed of our progress and will obviously have opportunities to request changes to the designs that have been produced.

Don't forget we may produce the design, but it will always be your window
