Variety of species

Stained glass fusing (Fusing)

These stained-glass windows are made by baking a whole sheet of glass in an oven, together with an ornament of colored or tinted glass applied to it.

Colored and tinted glasses, which form the pattern, have the same coefficient of expansion with the main glass, which guarantees the strength, and most importantly, the durability of the finished product. The main glass is transparent flat glass with a thickness of not more than 4 mm.

It can be:

• simple;
• gray;
• bronze.

In the process of heat treatment, it acquires a light transparency of its texture. Products that are made in this way are suitable for any standard size, so any stained glass window on the kitchen facade looks good.

If necessary, the drawing is adjusted to the scale and color gamut of interest to you, while the concept of the stained-glass window is fully preserved.

Sandblasted stained glass

The etched stained glass windows were replaced by sandblasting ones. And their use in kitchen facades (doors, sashes) is becoming more popular day by day. And all this is due to a reasonable combination of beauty, high quality and price.

Sandblasting technology is as follows:

• The glass is processed with compressed air and sand grains.
• The area of ​​the glass directly affected by the sand becomes opaque (matte).
• It is possible to make a stained-glass drawing matte by applying it to a transparent sheet of glass-base. Or, conversely, make it transparent on a matte background.
• This type of processing - allows you to create quite complex graphic work.

You can order a sandblasted stained glass window with a specific complex emblem, monogram, logo, initials and other complex graphic compositions. Sandblasted glass can be additionally decorated with lead contour, crystal elements or combined with fusing elements.

Stained Glass Bevels

Today, the Bevels technique is gaining popularity and widespread acceptance, which advantageously imitates the samples of classic stained glass windows. These stained-glass windows in kitchen facades differ in that bevels (facets) are removed from the glass along the perimeter.

Glass, which can be either simple or matte or bronze, is decorated with crystal elements (facets, beveli) using ultraviolet glue.

Decor elements have a variety of geometric shapes and patterns. In addition, lead broaches and stained glass films can be used in stained-glass windows decorated with bevelling.

Know!
Such stained-glass windows are most effective if elements from Bevels crystal are used by the English company Decra Led - it is the leading representative in this field.

The stained glass work we show below is applicable to kitchen fronts of any size.

Since the crystal elements are fixed in their dimensions, if necessary, it is possible to adjust the drawing for your specific facade, taking into account such features as:

• a certain size of glass (its visible part);
• facade milling, etc.

Stained Glass Decra Led

The production of Decra Led stained glass is due to:

• By applying stained glass films to flat (frosted or transparent) glass, as well as lead broaches that imitate the outline of the drawing.
• Although the stained glass film is double-sided, it is applied only on one side of the main glass.
• The contour of the pattern itself is formed by applying lead broaches (self-adhesive) on both sides of the glass.
• As a result, the finished stained glass window looks the same from the front and from the back. In the manufacture of film stained-glass windows, the film and lead broaches of the English production Decra Led are used, which have established themselves as the most reliable and high-quality manufacturers.

Bossy Stained Glass

Stained glass in this series is an intricate combination of two technologies, also presented by us. These are Decra Led and Fusing. As the main glass, as before, flat glass (transparent, frosted or bronze) is used.

Fragments of the pattern of this stained-glass window are distinguished by their convexity, they are obtained by reflow in a fusing oven, acquiring a variety of colors and textures.

The base glass is then decorated with separately baked fusing elements. This happens with the help of a special glue that hardens under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. The contour of the stained-glass pattern is laid out using a (lead) Decra Led broach - it is applied on both sides of the glass. The decorative palette is enriched with colored stained glass films, if necessary.

As a result, we get a very beautiful convex stained glass window, which creates a feeling of inlaid with expensive stones.
