Large sidelight

Answer This is a difficult question to answer without seeing the design. Are there many hinge joints? Will it be installed as a stand alone window or will it be inside the existing window glass? Without knowing any of the above answers, here's a general synopsis of what can be done. Use a lot of copper restrip, making sure it goes from one edge of the panel to the other edge wherever you use it. Use reinforced lead where there are hinge joints. Lastly, if you feel that rebars are necessary, design the panel around them so they don't look out of place. Explain to the clients why rebars are necessary, and the fact that they won't get noticed by anyone other than themselves. I hope some of this helps you. |

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry
I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie
Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
