How film stained glass is made
Self-adhesive stained glass films and lead molding are applied to a sheet of glass. We use Decra Led and Regalead films with uneven, feathered coloring. The films can be smooth or textured, with different degrees of transparency.
Advantages of film stained glass
- It is made on one single sheet of glass, so the work is simpler than in the Tiffany technique.
- It is safer: the film holds the fragments if the glass breaks.
- It is easy to install and can be fitted into an insulated glass unit.
- It resists fading: the color does not change over time.
- It costs less because films are cheaper than stained glass.
- It combines with fusing, beveled elements and painting.
What the price depends on
On the complexity and density of the design, the amount of film used and the type of molding.
Where it is used
This technique is used for windows, doors, partitions, niches, ceilings and winter gardens.
