Here are some of our most frequently asked questions:
Q.) Is there a 'kit' I can buy to get started?
A.) Yes, we have a starter kit that has all the basics you will need to do stained glass.
Back to topQ.) How much does a custom panel cost?
A.) Our inital quote is usually $100/sq. ft. It can go down a little, it can go up a little, but that is the level of detail and price that most of our customers settle on. The look of the piece will reflect the price of the piece. (You get what you pay for.)
Back to topQ.) How much for repairs?
A.) Typically,copper foil repairs will be anywhere from $10 to $20 a piece, and lead came repairs will be around $20 a piece to repair.

Q.) Can you cut this for me?
A.) Yes we can use our bandsaw to do your intricate cuts for you. We will also cut zinc came for framing, and bend zinc came as well, for a small fee.
Back to topQ.) Is stained glass recyclable?
A.) No, stained glass is not recyclable at this time. Most stained glass companies make their glass with slightly different melting points, and the raw material used to give the glass its colours both contribute to making stained glass incompatable with common commercial glass that is recyclable. (You might have seen in large public facilities different recycling bins for different coloured glass, usually clear and green or coloured glass. Well, there are an awful lot of different stained glass colours, and there just isn't enough stained glass out there to be recycled to have a solution created.)
