Our History

As craftsmen and environmentalists since the early eighties, we became frustrated by the basic truth that it was not possible to enjoy the beauty and subtlety of authentic leaded lights whilst at the same time insulate historic buildings to the level required by the environmentally conscious. Simply put, we wanted to double glaze listed buildings, period properties and heritage sites to achieve thermal efficiency.

Drawing on over 3 decades of experience in the craft of stained glass and profound knowledge of what is crucial to make a good window. We believe we have created a window that looks as beautiful and attractive as a traditional leaded light whilst offering the absolute best of insulating properties. Overall, we always ensure that our double glazed units replicate the previous window.

Combining the skills and knowledge acquired over many years, as diverse as leaded light making, fusing, soldering, model making, welding and turning we have created a collection of products that perform the difficult task set of them. Nearly indistinguishable from a traditional leaded light, handmade using only glass, lead, steel and a craftsman’s skill, insulation to the highest standard “BFRC “A” rated”.

With any specification of glass, our Insulead® frameless glazing system and Steelyte® opening casements deliver a no-compromise solution.
