Our Techniques
A centuries-old craft
Many of the tools and techniques used in stained glass creation today would be recognised by stained glass artists hundreds of years ago.
First, a design is agreed upon with the client, then carefully drawn up by hand.
​
Glass is chosen by texture and colour before being cut to size and placed together. The pieces are then hand-painted, if required, and kiln-fired. Lead came (I-section) is used to hold the glass in place. The lead is then fluxed, soldered at the joints and cleaned gently.
Leaded light cement is pushed between the glass and the lead and dried with whitening before a final clean and polish, revealing a traditional stained glass window that will stand the test of time and look stunning in any environment.

About Us
SH Stained Glass is a family run business based on more than 40 years' experience in traditional painted and leaded glass windows. We have experience making and fitting windows in internal and external doors, door surrounds, cabinets, lanterns, and wood, stone and metal frames.
​
As well as creating new windows from design to fitting, a big part of our work is restoration. We repair windows both in our studio and on site wherever possible. We have experience with repairs for domestic customers and for churches and minsters.
​
Art is in our blood. When we're not creating stained glass windows, we're often oil painting on canvas. Follow us on social media for frequent updates on our business.
