Borderdale Glass is a company of longstanding with a reputation for excellence. Established in 1996 we are an ICON Accredited studio completing projects throughout the country.
Quality of Build
Our fanlights are constructed using traditional techniques and materials. These are made to the original construction principles of Francis Underwood who in the late c.18th overlaid delicate tracery patterns with lead ornaments. We produce the required design in brass then add our lead profiles from our extensive archive of original lead moulds. These are then secured with lead/tin solder and constructed within a timber frame. The lights are then glaze using handcrafted restoration glass that carries the subtle distortions and movement of mouth blown glass.
