Technologies for the manufacture of stained -glass windows

Artistic stained glass means a work of decorative art, which is made in the form of an ornamental or plot composition made of fragments of multi-colored glass. Also, stained -glass windows are called ordinary glazing by type of panorama. Nowadays, the use of such products allows you to implement the most original and interesting design solutions in the process of creating the interior of the premises.

Based on the technologies used in the process of creating technologies, stained -glass windows are conditionally divided into four types. For the manufacture of artistic or classic stained -glass windows, methods that have been preserved since time immemorial are used. First, a sketch is created, which is then transferred to a natural cardboard. Based on it, they cut the glass elements of the picture, which are then fastened with each other with the help of a lead profile of a certain configuration.

For the manufacture of Tiffany stained glass, a slightly different technology for fastening glass elements is used. Their edges are glued with copper foil, after which they are soldered. This made it possible to make products not only of a flat shape, but also of voluminous. This method is best suited for drawings with thin details, in cases where small pieces of glass must be connected at curved edges.

Today, the popularity of this type of mosaic is very high. In addition, using such technology, you can make not only stained glass structures, but also a variety of souvenirs, decorative elements.

By sintering of colored glass, stained glass structures in the style of fusing are made. Initially, all the details of the future composition are cut out of glass through templates. Glane of glass or shiht can also be used. The prepared parts of the future stained glass are placed in a furnace with a heating temperature of more than 800 °, where they are sintering into one whole.

In addition, at present you can often find an imitation of a classic. It is made of high -strength materials that, in their texture and coloring, exactly repeat the glass of stained glass. Technologically, the process of assembly visually fully repeats the classic method, due to which the volume and decorativeness of the image are completely preserved.
