For over a thousand years,
the fine art of stained glass has added beauty to buildings. Once almost exclusively
found in church windows, it is now applied universally.
Here on our website are pictures of some of the originally designed stained
glass as well as restorations we have completed since 1962.
Among other places, you can find our work in churches, private
homes, commercial buildings, offices, hotels, restaurants, hospitals and museums.
You can enjoy stained glass not only in windows but also in doors, cabinets,
partitions, illuminated ceilings or wherever it may please you.
While most of our stained glass was commissioned in Alberta, some
is appreciated by clients as far as Toronto, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Vancouver
and even Old Crow in the Yukon, north of the Arctic Circle.
We design and plan to suit your personal preferences with respect to colour
and style. Moreover, we design to fit your budget. Where architects, interior
designers or building contractors are in charge of projects, they have our full
cooperation.
We have developed a new technique which makes it possible to build stained glass
panels over 2.5 m high and 1.0 m wide without the customary unsightly steel
reinforcing bars which cut across stained glass windows made by others.
The windows shown here in our Religious
Section are examples of our technique. The panel of "Christ and the Children"
as well as the "St. Peter and St. Paul" window are in the 2.5 m range. Of course,
none of the rest of our windows need reinforcing bars either.
If you should come across a similar feat elsewhere, please call us collect and
let us know.
Our workmanship is guaranteed to be of the highest quality. We are prepared
to furnish references from our many satisfied clients. For more information
