Practical Stained Glass Applications for Austin Homes

Stained glass is often thought of as simply for looks when installed in a home, and sometimes exclusively related to churches.  At Scottish Stained Glass, however, we build functional stained glass for homes every day in Austin, and we can work around any budget you have to make your stained glass purchase truly practical.

Where to Add Stained Glass in Your Austin Home

The versatility of our product allows you to add stained glass to any window in your home, regardless of size or shape.  However, some of our most common locations include sidelights, transoms, doors, bathrooms, bedrooms, stairwells, kitchens, and basements.  Each of these locations provides functional value, often privacy, to update a boring window.

Privacy is one of the most popular reasons that homeowners choose to invest in stained glass.  In your entryway you may have noticed unwanted visitors peeking into your home through glass in your door or sidelight windows.  You may similar problems in a bathroom or bedroom where you neighbors can see straight into your home.

No matter where you need privacy, Scottish Stained Glass can help.  Instead of using blinds and curtains, which block out natural light, consider textured and beveled designs for your stained glass to keep peeking eyes out.  We have many different ranges of textured glass to give you as much or as little privacy as your particular windows call for.

Another great application of stained glass is in basement windows.  Basement windows often only offer the view of a cement well, and with very little natural light available for basements, you want to keep as much as you can.  Stained glass won’t block the natural light you love, but can block the unpleasant view by adding beautiful glasswork.
