Leaded Glass Windows & Doors
Traditional leaded glass for listed buildings, period properties, churches and conservation projects.
Leaded Glass Window — Listed Building
Traditional leaded glass windows for listed buildings, conservation areas, period properties and church restoration. Hand-leaded to historic specification; double-glazed unit option to BS EN 1279 for thermal compliance.
Trent Glass Leaded Glass Windows are hand-leaded windows produced to historic specification for listed buildings, conservation-area renovations, church and chapel restoration, period property refurbishment and heritage commercial projects. Each panel is built from your existing window survey, archive photographs or new design drawings — diamond quarry, rectangular margin, Gothic tracery, geometric and pictorial styles all produced in-house.
Where Building Control requires thermal upgrade we supply the leaded artwork bonded into a sealed double-glazed unit (DGU) to BS EN 1279 — preserving the historic appearance externally while meeting modern Part L thermal performance. Sympathetic detailing throughout: hand-rolled antique glass, period lead profiles, traditional cementing.
