Stained Glass Austin creates custom designed and hand crafted stained glass windows and doors for clients across the Austin area. Our unique designs and high quality windows have made us well respected in the stained glass field. But there is another aspect to custom stained glass, either residential or commercial, which is really important. We are talking about stained glass installation.

A stained glass window or door panel must be perfectly installed into the space. To do that, it must be crafted to exact dimensions. It must be installed taking into consideration the location it will be placed in and the size and weight of the piece. At Stained Glass Austin, we have developed special installation techniques that ensure each of our windows is placed perfectly, for optimal beauty, safety, and longevity.

Stained Glass Austin tailors its installation processes to the specific needs of the project. For instance, along with residential and commercial stained glass, we are also honored to be commissioned to build church or other religious stained glass. These windows can be massive in size, and of course, being glass they are extremely heavy. When we do a large church stained glass installation, we will take special measures that we do not have to do with a small window in someone’s home. We will attach steel supports into the frame, to best support the weight of the window and prevent it from succumbing to the pull of gravity over time.

For a residential window, perhaps an entryway or hallway stained glass window, we will bond the new stained glass panel to the existing glass, if possible. If there is no existing plain glass, we add it ourselves. This plain glass is on the exterior of the home and it protects the stained glass panel. We always run a thin bead of caulk in a color that matches the window frame to ensure no dirt, dust, or debris gets between the two pieces of glass and mars the beautiful look.

At Stained Glass Austin, we know that our clients expect the highest quality workmanship, and that extends to the installation of their stained glass. They want their custom designed windows to last for generations and perhaps even become a valued family heirloom. We do our installations with longevity and durability in mind.
