      The difference between

      Genuine Leadlights

      Artificial Leadlights

       

       

      REAL leadlights are made with many pieces of glass and assembled together like a puzzle and the lead-joints are soldered

      Artificial Leadlights are made on one piece of glass. The lead ist STUCK on .

       Coloured pieces  are REAL stained glass and keep their colours over hundereds of years

      Colours painted on the glass and can fade easily

      The textured glass is REAL obscured glass.

      The texture is created on the paint and can peel off

      Bevels are built into the leadlights

      Bevels are glued on to the glass- panel

      Repairs: One replaces just the broken piece of glass. Many repairs can be done on-site.  Prices start from $ 25

      Repairs: You have to replace the whole panel and buy a completely NEW "artificial leadlight" . Repair-price equals new price!!

       Can be sandwiched in a double glazing unit

       For a start the genuine leadlights cost a little bit more, but in the long run you can not save enough money.

      only REAL is REAL.

      They have been around for hundreds of years.

      you get what you pay for
