Your stained glass front door

What is stained glass?

Stained glass has its origins in antiquity, but new technologies have drastically improved this craft. Simply put, stained glass deviates from transparent glass because it has a specific way of being processed. Whereas early glass art included thinly sliced alabaster, modern stained glass is usually made with chemically coloured glass and various finishes.

Stained glass is most often associated with cathedrals and churches. Ornate and imposing stained glass panels grace gothic rose windows, while their motifs tell stories of times past. Yet, stained glass is also often used today and has been ever since glazing technologies improved during the Victorian Era.

Windows with stained glass create beautiful reflections

Depending on your preferred style and finish, stained glass front doors and windows can create beautiful reflections when touched by sunlight. Traditional Victorian and Edwardian front doors are well-known for their play of lights when hit by the sun. Traditional doors usually have colourful glass panels that emphasise the craftsmanship that went into creating these stained glass doors.

Stained glass front doors can protect your privacy – by distorting the image visible through the glass panels.

There is an abundance of different glazing styles to choose from, many of which restrict others from looking inside your property. At Pirnar, we want to help you create your bespoke stained glass door, which is why we barely have limitations when it comes to creating it.

Top-quality craftsmanship allows us to produce stained glass elements at our very own on-site glazier´s workshop – to realise your dream glass front door.
