3 Things To Know About Stained Glass Windows

Stained-glass windows come in a variety of designs, styles, designs, and colors. 

Stained glass windows are the best way to add color and architectural detail to your home. Many people make custom windows to suit their homes’ designs. 

Here are some of the things that you must know about stained glass windows:

Window Panels – Stained glass window panels add a charm of stained glass without the headache of installation. You can buy vintage windows from many architectural salvage shops and can use them as panels. The panels are suspended from a window frame with the help of a thin chain. In this way, panels can be cleaned easily and can be switched with others without any difficulty. You can purchase panels from galleries, online, and at places like craft fairs. 

Hangings – Stained glass window hanging is the best alternative to an expensive painting. They are cheap in comparison to paintings and offer similar color and presence. You can find stained glass windows in various patterns and designs – from traditional to Arts and Crafts to modern. You can suspend two large stained glass window hangings above your end tables, a long narrow one above a window or door, and one in your bedroom. 

Patterns – Stained glass window patterns and designs are based on the type of glass (cathedral or opalescent), the texture (crackled, beveled, and seedy) and the way the glass is arranged in the window frame. Traditional patterns include flowers, clovers, geometrics, and religious symbols, often seen in churches, whose mullions form the shape of a rose. Modern stained glass patterns include Arts and Crafts, the natural world (trees, birds, and flowers), abstract and geometrics.
