In many historic homes, especially ones that date from the Victorian era, one of the most eye-catching design features is a stained glass window. These classic elements recapture the elegance and luxury of days gone by, but the beauty of stained glass is no longer restricted to older homes. Many manufacturers nationwide offer an extensive range of modern stained glass products to suit the needs of any homeowner.

The term “stained glass” actually refers to glass that has been painted and then fired; traditional works are constructed from pieces of cut glass that are set into lead channeling to form a pattern. Most of what we see today is really art glass, although some artisans still practice traditional methods.

Ceramic tile murals are artistic ornaments used to enhance a space. Art or decoration can be applied to the surface of ceramic tiles, or colored tiles can be used to form a mosaic.  Ceramic tile can be installed horizontally or vertically on either the interior or exterior surfaces of a building.  Ceramic tile murals have been used by man to decorate spaces for over 4000 years.  Invented in the Middle East and developed by several cultures over time, ceramic tile murals can be found in ancient pyramids and ruins, or seen today in our homes, commercial spaces and places of congregation.

Brick murals are three-dimensional artistic expressions, most generally carved or sculpted, that utilize clay masonry as the primary material. Brick murals can be almost any size, are typically custom designed and are carefully constructed for indoor or outdoor applications.
