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

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.

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.)
