How to Commission Shore Edge Glass.

 

Shore Edge Glass can undertake any works from small stop-in repairs where repairs are done insitue, or to larger commission projects. With prices starting from as little as £85 for a small door panel, orignal commissions are within the reach of most.

For commissions the process starts with the initial consultation, usually at your premises, to discuss your requirements. I will bring along pattern books to assist with design ideas and a comprehensive selection of glass samples. It is helpful if you can have any ideas about design & colour scheme to hand, but if you are unsure of exactly what you want I am happy to provide objective guidance, taking ideas from your surroundings in order to produce a result that is sympathetic with your environment.

 

If you decide to proceed based on our initial discussions, I will need to take photographs and detailed measurements and/or templates of the windows to be made. This can be a time-consuming activity, so please allow 2 hours for the initial consultation to cover this. Following on from the consultation I will provide you with detailed designs.Please be aware that it isn’t possible to faithfully represent the changing colours & textures of glass in various lighting conditions, and that the finished result will be much more vibrant than any paper or electronic image.At this stage I will also provide you with a precise quote for your windows / panels. Shore Edge Glass retaines all rights to designs untill full payment is made. Once I have the go-ahead from you to proceed. A 35% deposit will become payable I will then start the build process. This may take some time depending on your chosen design and size of panel.

 

I also recommend that the finished panels are allowed to cure for two weeks prior to installation. For large commissions I can now offer insurance backed guarantees.

All Shore Edge Stained glass is made to order and every design is unique. Quotations are therefore always given on an individual basis. For clients living some distance away drawings and glass samples can be sent via email for approval and finished panels crated and shipped for fitting by a third party.

Shore Edge Glass can now arrange to have your old window frames removed, and working alongside a UPVC installer (Trusted Trader Member) can resize and encapsulate your exsisting Stained Glass and Leaded Lights and have them fitted into UPVC frames. Handling the process from start to finish, to save you the customer time. (Geographical Limits apply )

 

Please feel free to ask for details.

It is always advisable to allow for as much time as possible when commissioning stained glass as the process can takes weeks or, in the case of large projects, months to complete.
