Custom Art Work
Covenant Art Glass has been creating original glass work since 1979. We work directly with architects, builders, interior designers and home owners to provide an outstanding product and service during and after the project. Leading, etching, fusing, surface sculpting, traditional glass painting & mosaic work are processes used by our studio to create unique art glass pieces.
Is Art Glass only for new homes?
Custom glass work can be installed in new construction, or used to enhance your current home, adding design and atmosphere. Art glass may be placed in front of existing glass or integrated into insulated thermo pane units. Often art glass is used in the entry way, but it is also very effective to add privacy and design to any window, interior doors, bathrooms, transoms and cabinets.
How much does Art Glass cost?
The cost is determined both by square footage, complexity and the techniques required to achieve the desired project. We are always considerate of your budget. The following prices are just a ball park and are subject to change. Our prices start as low as $12 per square foot plus a cut fee to have sheet glass cut to size (note: we have hundreds of samples to choose from). Etched work is typically in the $100 - $150 per square foot range and leaded work $250 - $350 per square foot. Painted and fused work would involve additional costs. When designing, we retain a 10% deposit which is applied to the final cost of the project. To start constructing a project, we retain an additional 40% (meaning, 50% when combined with the design deposit). Each project is unique and we are happy to give you a bid, once we understand your vision for the project.
What is the process for ordering custom glass work?
We understand that ordering custom art glass is a new experience for many, so we like to make sure that you are informed and understand the process. We’d like to meet with you first at our studio, as there are many samples, photos and books that can help determine your direction. We’ll take notes and ask you questions about color, size, project location and also your budget to determine what will best suit your needs. Stan, owner and designer, has a Masters Degree in Art and 35 years of experience in designing exceptional and original works of art for you to enjoy for generations to come. If you have a photo, fabric swatch etc. representing your décor or design influence, please bring that along. Once a design has been conceptualized, the next step is to create a full size rendering. This allows you to see exactly what the project could look like. Once the design is approved, the materials (colors, textures, bevels, etc.) are chosen and construction begins.
What’s the difference between what Covenant Art Glass offers and the big chain home centers?
We are a local company providing custom art glass products not found in a catalog. Large home centers offer mass-produced work with size and design limitations. At Covenant Art Glass you choose from hundreds of glass samples and endless design possibilities to create a project specifically for your environment. An original, unique art piece, personalized by you, is quite different than the limited choices found commercially. Our studio prides itself in attention to detail and customer satisfaction is always of utmost importance to us.
We look forward to serving you,
Julia & Jason Banker, Owners
