Stained Glass for
Sacred Buildings
For sacred gathering places of all religions, we design and make new stained glass, repair and restore old stained glass and sell colored sheet glass, textured clear architectural glass, and clear glass for authentic period restoration and replication.

With knowledge and respect, we suggest designs for new windows that will be appropriate and within the budget.  With care and reverence, we restore valued windows to their original beauty.


Following are some of the religious designs we have fabricated and photos of some of the sacred windows we have restored.

Please call or email for information.
