ABOUT STAINED GLASS WINDOWS

Technically, the term stained glass should be applied only to glass which has had paint applied to it, as in a traditional church window. Panels made out of coloured glass should correctly be described as leaded or decorative glass. They are much cheaper to produce than true stained glass. Metal rods, known as saddle bars or tie bars, support the leaded stained glass. This is attached by means of lengths of copper wire which are welded into the leading.
