Stained glass windows have adorned churches for centuries.  Their vibrant colours and intricate designs enchanted worshippers and visitors alike.  But creating traditional stained glass windows is labour-intensive, expensive, and time-consuming.  Prints on Glass can offer a unique and innovative solution for updating or repairing stained glass windows with replica stained glass windows that can be designed, printed and installed at a fraction of the cost and time.

How are the stained glass windows created?

Prints on Glass use cutting-edge technology that can print high-resolution images on glass surfaces.  For replica stained glass windows, a digitally-printed image is transferred directly onto a glass sheet, replicating the look of traditional stained glass.  The result is a vivid, durable, and long-lasting piece of art that stands the test of time.

This innovative process not only mimics the visual appeal of classic stained glass but also allows for a level of detail and accuracy that is simply unattainable through traditional methods.  Churches can create designs that are truly unique and not restricted by using the more traditional process of making stained glass windows with coloured glass and led.

Using these methods, Prints on Glass takes the art of stained glass to new heights, enabling the creation of unique designs that cater to the specific needs and tastes of each church community.

What are the benefits of printing onto glass rather than traditional methods?

Affordability: Replica stained glass windows using Prints on Glass are significantly more cost effective than traditional ones.  This makes them an ideal solution for budget-conscious churches that still desire the beauty of stained glass art.

Time Efficiency: Creating replica stained glass windows using Prints on Glass is far quicker than traditional methods.  This means churches can have their stunning new windows installed and ready to be admired in a fraction of the time.

Flexibility: Prints on Glass allows for an incredible range of design possibilities, enabling churches to customise their stained glass windows according to their specific aesthetic vision.

How the design and printing process works

Step 1: Design Consultation

The process begins with an in-depth consultation to discuss the desired design, budget, timeline and a site visit to determine the space needing to be filled.  This ensures the final product aligns with the church's vision and needs.

Step 2: Artwork Creation

A team of skilled artists creates a digital rendering of the stained glass design.  This digital image can be easily modified and fine-tuned to achieve the perfect aesthetic.

Step 3: Glass Printing

Once the design is finalised, our printer prints the image between two pieces of glass which creates laminated safety glass where the printed image is protected by glass on both sides.

This process guarantees stunning colours, crisp lines, and breathtaking detail.  The design can be printed onto glass of any size to suit the overall design.

Step 4: Installation

The final stage is installation. Our team at Prints on Glass will then install the final product.  The stained glass windows can be installed as skylights or in more traditional locations in the rear or side of church buildings.
