This sample features bevelled, reeded, and several traditional craft glass textures set within the lead cames.

Leaded lights / stained glass window panels have been a feature of British architecture since the 7th century. Daedalian Glass Studios can design any shape, size, or style of leaded lights / stained glass panel, as per the customers design requirements.

Stained Glass / Lead Lights

• A came is a divider bar used to connect multiple small pieces of glass and form a larger glazing panel. When these cames are made from lead then this is referred to as leaded lights, leadlights, or leaded glass. These are popular in period buildings as they preserve the traditional design.
• Traditionally, stained glass refers to an ornate form of leaded lights (such as the style created for church windows) whereas leaded lights are more plain (such as those used in domestic or commercial use). In modern language, however, these terms are used largely interchangeably.
• In theory, there is little to constrain the size that can be created. The largest created by Daedalian Glass Studios to date is an 18 x 10 metre leaded lights domed skylight.

Bevelled / Brilliant Cut

• Bevelling is the process of creating an angled surface cut into glass. This can be done either by machine or by hand.
• Brilliant cutting is the process of cutting a diamond shaped groove into the surface of glass. This is created by hand using a lathe wheel.

Reeded Glass

• Reeded glass has uniform ridges at a set distance apart running either horizontally or vertically through the panel.
• Reeded glass is also known as fluted glass.
