Home Improvement Trend Alert: Stained Glass Window Panels

Stained glass windows may not seem like something accessible to the average homeowners with a real-life budget but the truth is, they are easier to afford, buy and have installed than ever before. Today, stained glass windows come in many different shapes, sizes and designs and price points and likely one that will fit any budget and a popular trend driving the accessibility of these windows is the easy to install stained glass panel inserts. As you will see, these simple but stunning stained glass creations make an elegant home design in Austin a snap and well within your reach.

What Are Stained Glass Panel Inserts?

The best way to describe stained glass panel inserts is–simple but stunning. Stained glass panels are just like traditional stained glass in wooden frames complete with leading, colored or textured glass but they are manufactured to fit your home window frame. They are premade in our world-renowned studio to your exact specifications and then delivered and installed on your Austin home. They look as spectacular as traditional stained glass but still give your home that style pop you are looking to add and can be fit to any window in your home. However, the best part is the panel is placed right over the existing glass, meaning a quick, easy and inexpensive installation.

How Are Stained Glass Panel Inserts Installed?

As mentioned, stained glass panels are manufactured ahead of time in our world-class stained glass workshop and come to your home to literally “pop in”. The whole process is clean and fast–done in as little as an hour if not minutes. When your installer arrives they will thoroughly wash and dry the pre-made stained glass insert and your existing window and frame to remove any grim or smudges. After the installer test fits the panel to ensure a perfect fit, the stained glass adheres to the frame of your interior window. These stained glass window inserts will stay in place as long as you want but can be easily removed too. At this point, your window is done, with very little mess but your installer will be sure to leave your home as clean as they found it.
