Public and Product Liability Insurance is used on all installations. Complies with Australian Standard # 1288-2006 Mainly used for panels that are inserted into doors, windows, & skylights but can be free standing/hanging. A design is drawn up, from this the specially selected “art” glass is cut, ground and assembled within “lead came” to create the completed picture/pattern. After puttying and polishing the panel is ready to be installed. All “art” glass is imported, mostly from USA and a small quantity from Europe .
This technique uses “art” glass to create not only panels but 3 dimensional shapes such as lampshades. Following the desired pattern the glass is cut, ground, wrapped in copper and soldered together.
SLUMPED & FUSED or KILNWORKED GLASS Specifically manufactured glasses that are “compatible” with each other are selected and used in these techniques. The use of a kiln allows for the manipulation of the glass to create the desired shape and design.
ACID ETCHING, SANDBLASTING and PAINTING are also available.
