What you probably saw in the church was "Dalles." Chunk glass is
arranged into a pleasing pattern and held together with one of several cements. It works best in a large installation where you will be viewing it from some distance, but is possible in smaller, up close and personal installations as well. Jerry "E.

Paul Wileyto Reply-To: Organization: University of Pennsylvania Newsgroups: rec.arts.stained-glass A few years back, we saw a church in Chicago that used stained glass panels with the glass set into cement/concrete rather than the traditional leading. The glass seemed thicker than usual as well. We are planning to build a new bathroom, and the shower will contain a window (currently a fire-escape door made from the original window by evil barbarians), and we would like to do something using stained glass, but it needs to be watertight and low maintenence. Can someone tell me.. what are the possibilities? Thanks Paul -- E.

One factor to conside in a bathroom is the maiontainence. Both traditional
Stained glass and Dalle de Verre have very textured surfaces that will become a loving and lasting home for soap scum and mineral deposits. SOOOOO.... Be sure that teh water-faceing side of whatever you do is nice smooth glass, then you could put in a tradional leaded or foiled panel on the othe side. It will look beautiful and be easy to maintain too. (Also, Dalle de verre could truly be called dalle de very-heavy. Consider the weight and structure you're creatign there too. Of course it is uniquely beautiful as well.) "Liam Striker" wrote in message . .. Have a look at this page http://www.stainedglass.dns2go.com/slab/ Liam |
