My stained glass windows and panels are produced using traditional methods and materials :
-The build process starts with a full scale drawing on top of which the glass is cut to fit. -The glass pieces are then fitted together with lead which is soldered at the joints. -Internal strengthening of the panel may be used at this stage depending on its size and whether other forms of support are used (see Installation). -Special lead light cement is then brushed between the lead and the glass. -The panel is then cleaned and polished. -On curing the panel is strong and watertight, and ready for fitting.
