Three vertical floral, pansy, stained glass windows, in a wall decorated with sheets of music

Stained glass windows reused externally – inspiration

The photos on this page are a demonstration of my customers reusing stained glass in the type of places they were originally taken from. This is basically my miscellaneous page, where I have put photos my customers have sent me which don’t obviously fit into another category! For more examples see the main Customer reuse ideas page.

Ingenious integration of window into front door

I rescued this sunray window from a house in Ruislip…

Four sunburst stained glass leaded window panels in a white wooden frame, including glistre glass. The red sun is in the centre of the two middle panels. Photographed vertically, propped up.

Tony from Bristol got the talented Tom Drummond to fit the glass into this beautiful front door…

A yellow wooden front door, with a semi-circular red featured stained glass sunray window integrated into the top. Above the door, beneath a round arch, is a semi-circular leaded glass window - the sun rays extended. The two semi-circles fit together, forming a circle.
Anthony – Bristol (A1454) 2025

It’s fascinating to look at these two images and identify which parts of the old window have been used in the door and above door panel. Also of interest is the fact that I sold two of these original windows. The other way kept in its original form and can been viewed on the Internal Partitions page.

Bay window

Mike says: “…looking as if it hasn’t been touched for 100 years. And that is a comment from a neighbour. Several people – some strangers have complimented the result.”

A red brick end of terrace house house. The downstairs bay window has four top light stained glass windows.

Flower surrounded by white

The clear walls around this floral window really make it stand out – almost like an art gallery:

Barnaby chose this from my 700mm – 1000mm (27 inch to 39 inch) vertical window category. Have a look to see similar sized windows currently in stock.

Double glazed stained glass

It is possible for stained glass to be encapsulated in double glazing:

Pansies and music

These windows are just beautiful – and surrounded by sheet music for wallpaper!
