Fusing

We lay pieces of glass on a base and fuse them in a kiln at 800 °C. The layers melt into one another, and the result is a single sheet with no metal seams.

How the technique works

Pieces of stained glass are laid on a single sheet of glass and fired in a kiln. After the heat treatment the glass becomes uniform. The image can be made three-dimensional and raised or left flat, and the outlines come out soft, as in watercolor. We set the thickness and relief of the stained glass to suit the task.

A bit of history

Fused glass was found during excavations in Ancient Egypt. Stained glass makers returned to this technique in 1990 in Germany, where the first stained glass piece with fusing was made.

Advantages of fusing

  • The pieces are multilayered and therefore strong. They are installed in niches, partitions, doors and windows.
  • They resist moisture and temperature swings: suitable for outdoors, pools, saunas and bathrooms.
  • The color does not age or change over time.
  • Both relief and flat sheets with smooth transitions between shades are possible.

What we make

Doors, windows, tabletops, ceilings, kitchen cabinet fronts, niches, partitions, furniture, sliding-door wardrobes. And also small items: clocks, plates, pictures, candle holders, photo frames, souvenirs.

Frequently asked questions

Can fused glass be installed in a bathroom or outdoors?

Yes. The pieces resist moisture and temperature changes, so they are suitable for bathrooms, saunas, pools and outdoor conditions.

How does fusing differ from Tiffany stained glass?

In Tiffany, the pieces of glass are joined with copper foil and solder. In fusing there are no metal joints: the glass is fused in a kiln into a single whole.
