Stained Glass

Stained glass means staining the panes of glass with pigment, enabling the painting of figures and colours. As a technique it has been used throughout history, mainly in churches and cathedrals. Stained glass is different from fused glass which melts coloured panes into one single piece of glass.

Leaded Glass

Many old Tudor houses have what are called leaded lights which are small panes of glass (usually diamond-shaped) which are without the staining pigment, and hence clear, held together with lead frames. Please note that the lead in leaded windows is not dangerous.
