The biggest price consideration for stained glass windows is the number
of pieces in the window. Because the process is labor intensive, the amount
of time required to build a window gets magnified by the number of pieces
in the window. Great care needs to be taken from the initial design phase,
for windows larger than 4 square feet. Here are the general steps though,
for most windows.
Green Process - At Artistik glass I try to be as environment
friendly as I can. All my work is done in my home so that I don't have
to drive to a studio. Some of my work has been moved to a room with lots
of sunlight, so extra electricity for lighting doesn't need to be used
during the day; I purchase recycled paper products for cleaning windows
and have my literature printed on recycled paper when available.
Value - At Artistik Glass, I respect that getting the
best value for your dollar is important. For this reason, I build quality
windows to last multiple lifetimes. To accomplish this I install all windows
over $100.00 in 2" solid oak frames that are specially build for
stained glass windows. These frames are doweled and glued; then 8 screws
are used to mount the hangers to the oak frame for hanging, and lastly,
the strongest, thickest chain the stained glass industry provides, to
hang your window.
Special Note - All oak mounted windows are finished
with a copper finish that usually isn't seen in the initial pictures.
To illustrate this, the following two pictures are of the same window;
the first picture shows the glass colors and the second window shows the
copper finish that are on all windows over $100.00 from Artistik Glass,
as well as the correct color of the oak frames."
