Decorative coloured and stained glass panels are often used on building projects as a way to add an ornate feature into a window fitting. They are delicate and require a little more care to install than standard double glazing style windows, but this can be done relatively easily with the right tools and planning.

Installing The Panels

When installing coloured and stained glass window panels into an aluminium or wooden frame, it’s recommended that glazing foam strips are used. These are often preferred over standard putty or silicone.

Installing panels into UPVC frames is easier as the rubber gaskets in place fit neatly around the panels, so don’t require any further fitting components. When installing any glass panels, spacers should be placed under the bottom of the glass. This raises it up from the base of the frame and helps to avoid moisture building up inside.
