Stain glass window installation
My home has transom windows and I would like to make stained glass windows for them. I was advised it would be difficult to remove the window and insert a stained glass one into the frame. If possible I would prefer not to have chains. Is there another way besides hanging them?
Also if hanging is the only option, is one stained glass method recommended over another, ie: leaded or foil?
thank-you, your web site is wonderful!
AnswerYou could make the panels 1/8 inch smaller than the glass that is showing in the picture and put the panels aginst the glass, holding them in place with another strip of beading. You could also silicone them in place, although I don't advocate silicone since it is difficult to get the panel out if it ever needs repair.
To answer your second question, you can make a hanging panel using either lead or copper foil.
