Antique stained glass for a traditional style.
If you’re looking for stained glass for your Colorado Springs home that will match a traditional style, you might consider antique stained glass. Our designers can custom design stained glass that mimics antique stained glass, right down to the dark, aged looking lead strips that hold the pieces of glass together.
When it comes to antique stained glass, Colorado Springs homeowners seem to have very discerning tastes. If you are in that category, chances are you have seen some antique stained glass over the years that has really made an impression. Or perhaps you have an older Colorado Springs home that came with an original stained glass window, and you’ve always wanted something to match it.
If you do have antique stained glass, and Colorado Springs is full of it, we can easily make a new window that will match your original one. Or we can do something completely new for you, but do it in the antique style you like. When we talk about antique stained glass, we aren’t really taking about one particular style. Any kind of designs that were popular at least one hundred years ago would be considered antique.
Have you seen antique stained glass and fallen in love? We actually own a collection of antique windows imported from Scotland. We’ve sold many of them already, and have made replicas of them as well. Here is what you must realize about purchasing an actual antique. With antique stained glass, Colorado Springs homes are unlikely to have a window that is the exact same size. So if you buy a piece, you would not expect to have it installed in any of your windows. If you want the antique look in your windows, custom stained glass in an antique style is what you are looking for.
Take a look at some of our antique designs to get a feel for what we are discussing. Striking, aren’t they?
At Colorado Springs Stained Glass, each of our windows is custom designed to your specifications. We come to your home, work out the perfect design, take the measurements of your windows, and prepare to build the window. Did you know that every stained glass window we make is hand-crafted, with each piece of glass cut, shaped, and assembled by hand . . . the old fashioned way?
