Provides a clean and protective environment.
Increases insulation and conforms to UK building regulation Part L.
By encasing the stained glass between two layers of toughened safety glass we create a formidable barrier.
Estate agents and Surveyors love homes with triple glazed stained glass character windows and period features as they are worth more and they are easier to sell.
Double and Triple glazing stained glass will virtually eliminate condensation that can ruin curtains and wallpaper.
We have many years of experience double and triple glazing stained glass into hardwood or uPVC window frames and doors. Our business is built on recommendations and repeat business.

Stained glass encapsulation is the sealing of a stained glass panel inside a double glazed unit to form three layers of glass.
Some people refer to this process as Triple Glazing of stained glass and other refer to this as Double Glazing. However, both descriptions are referring to the same process.
Stained glass cannot be used as the outside pane of a double glazed unit because it is not air tight and as a result condensation will form in the space between the stained glass and the clear glass layer.
The stained glass is first carefully removed from the old window frame and the frame is temporary glazed or boarded. We would then bring the stained glass to our studio for restoration.
Any broken pieces can be matched and replaced, the whole window can be deep cleaned and a new border lead soldered on. Finally the stained glass can be blown free of dust using compressed air before being encapsulated between two panes of clear toughened glass to form an insulated unit. The glass we use is ‘Low-E’ which gives a significantly more insulated unit than ordinary double glazing. The units also have warm edge spacer bars and are argon gas filled. This will give a window energy rating (WER) of A to C when combined with a new window frame.
New stained glass panels can also be encapsulated, if you’d like to learn more about this please click here or get in touch through our contact page.
