We’ve come a long way since starting our business in 1996. Back then the task of designing, constructing and installing a custom window or door panel was daunting. Today, thanks to education and experience, we create and install a variety of sizes and designs for doors, windows and cabinets.

Much of our custom work is constructed in lead came (commonly seen in church windows). Glass pieces are cut and fit into the channels of lead strips; the intersections of the strips are soldered, and then the entire panel is solidified with a plaster compound and often reinforced with external steel bars. We also use the copper foil method, where glass pieces are wrapped edgewise in copper tape and the resulting seams between wrapped pieces are then soldered. Necessary reinforcement can be internal (copper strips) or external (brass bars).

A custom panel for a window can replace an existing window, be installed against it (with clips or molding), or be hung in front of a it. For a door we generally replace an existing window or fill a newly-constructed opening.
