More specifically, showing your shower or wet area a little love. One such activity is to replace a shower panel with the Frost Shower Panel, from our shower screens range . This is a relatively straight forward project that yields excellent results. However, while shower panels are more contemporary then shower screens, the majority of homes still have the latter installed. So today, I thought I would provide you with detailed instructions on how to replace/install a shower screen.

Painted glass windows often depict natural and rural settings, and include exquisitely detailed renderings of birds, trees, flowers, buds, and village scenes. Painted on small panels these are then set into the larger window which typically consists of a variety of leadlight, stained, and other painted glass pieces of varying textures and colors. This is beautifully displayed in our gallery pictures. Note the detail not only in central painted glass pieces but also in corner and semi-circular painted glass pieces, and the variety of colors and textures that complete them.

Fascinating Aspects of Stained Glass Windows

The intriguing aspect of these windows is the fact that they are static. They get animated during the day by the changing light. As a result, their patterns get to wander across the floor. That’s why you find yourself feeling peaceful; your thoughts get to walk with the designs made on the surface or floor. Also, it explains why the stained glass windows were popular with ancient churches. The windows worked perfectly in illuminating the people within the buildings, both spiritually and literally. Both the scenes and images get led into the window to shed light , an aspect in line with the Christian salvation. According to the church, these windows allowed God’s light into the church. Though stained glass started in the Middle Ages, this artistic and technical achievement usually gets underestimated. The glass itself is a product of the art of fire. It’s as a result of fusing the earth’s rocks, namely:      -Sand (sodium oxide)      -Lime (calcium oxide) High temperatures get used t

Those who stained glass weren’t the same people who made the glasses. The rec

Leaded and colored glass doors built into a buffet, sparkling glass sidelights flanking a front door, richly hued panels of glass filtering light as it streams through a window transom—stained glass was a favorite accent throughout homes built in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Glass Etching Adelaide

Glass Etching Adelaide A CO2 laser engraving machine will allow you to engrave flat materials such as window glass or mirrors, conical or round workpieces, glasses, wine or  champagne glasses, bottles ... The cheaper cast glasses are usually easier to etch due to their lower lead content and a consequent more homogeneous structure. Hand blown glass or crystal stemware can have stresses in the material that are aggravated by heat during laser engraving and therefore fractures in the glass can result. Mirrors can also be engraved with a fiber laser source simply by removing  the reflective coating from the back; the glass itself is not engraved by  the fiber laser, making the surface smooth. The Speedy series lasers have a CO2 and a fiber laser source.  Therefore, with a single laser machine, you can work all materials,  from glass to metals, through wood or mirrors.
