Leaded lights panels are beautiful, tactile, versatile and last for decades - if not centuries - so I really take time working with you on the design to make sure we create something we really love. The process usually goes something like this:
Leaded lights panels are beautiful, tactile, versatile and last for decades - if not centuries - so I really take time working with you on the design to make sure we create something we really love. The process usually goes something like this:
- Initial chat about requirements and project details.
- Discuss design - sometimes you'll have a pretty clear idea of what you want, sometimes not! I can show examples of different styles, look at the location (type of building, exiting glass, colours, how the light falls etc), and together we'll agree on a design 'brief'.
- Photos and measurements of where the panels are going. I can also provide a quote for the panels - there is no obligation up to this point.
- I'll create a design with a few options and present them back to you, usually as C.A.D. designs with glass textures added, and a 'mock up' visualisation of what it will look like in place.
- Design tweaks and amendments until we are both really happy. I'll also show examples of types, textures and colours of glass to help our final choices.
- I craft the panels! This usually takes 5-10 days.
- Where possible I will deliver the panels by hand - but I can courier them to anywhere safely using custom made wooden boxes. I do not normally fit the panels, but I can advise if needed.
