Dalle de Verre, also referred to as Faceted Glass, has been used in the United States since it was first introduced in 1955. Even though it uses hand blown colored glass, it is a much different medium than traditional leaded glass. The one inch thick glass slabs are cut to shape and held together with an epoxy resin. The overall designs are usually mosaic in style. The cut glass is chipped (which produces facets) to add brilliance and depth to the colors. The resins are colored and textured to give a mortared appearance.

When created properly, these units are very strong and offer outside applications that traditional stained glass can not.

Over the years the materials and techniques to produce faceted panels has improved dramatically. Whether restoring your old window or building new art, we will address items such as glass to epoxy ratios, thickness of resin pours, glass to resin adhesion, and proper curing times. This will ensure the long life of the units we build.
