About Classical Glass

Classical Glass is a full service stained glass studio specializing in creating custom stained glass panels for homes, businesses, and churches. Phil Ertel, owner of Classical Glass, can create any size panel, ranging from small sun catchers to large church windows. Stained glass panels can be made using copper foil, lead came, brass came, and zinc came. Phil designs most of the patterns for the stained glass panels he creates. If clients have a design they like, Phil can adapt it to the dimensions of the window opening. The staff at Classical Glass also has expertise in repair and restoration of stained glass panels. Repair can be done, in some cases, without removing the stained glass panel. Classical Glass offers basic stained glass classes in using the copper foil method and lead came methods of constructing stained glass panels. Although not a retail store, Classical Glass offers stained glass supplies to hobbyists.

About Glass

Stained glass can be as bold or subtle in design and color as the client desires. The choice of glass will help to add color to a room, decrease the amount of light entering a room, or create privacy. Color and texture of glass is as varied as the tastes of the client. If no color is desired there are numerous styles and textures of clear glass that can be used. A combination of colored glass, clear glass, and textured glass can be used to create a pleasing stained glass panel.
