TIFFANY WINDOWS

So called 'Tiffany windows' are named after the famous American, Louis Comfort Tiffany. It was he who created the method of construction using sticky backed thin copper foil to surround each piece of glass.

This is a selection of windows that we have made. We add to the selection all the time, though it tends to be the ones we like the most that you’ll find there. We can create windows to virtually any design, so don't think it's not possible, it more than likely is.

Tiffany windows can be set inside double-glazed units as was the Japanese Cranes window, this makes them water-proof and triple-glazed. They can also be combned with lead cames as we did in the Irises & Dragonfly window.

If you'd like to see some of the Master's work there is an online gallery at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This shows a small selection of Louis Comfort Tiffany's windows and gives brief information about each.

Several of the windows here have been made up as Triple Glazed Units (DGUs), for example the Japanese Cranes towards teh bottom of the selection.
