We produce stained glass windows in the technique of painting on solid tempered glass. The method of painting on glass began to be used since the medieval era. Exactly the same as then they began to collect stained glass windows from small pieces of glass, and paint them too. Both of these techniques have been perfected over the years. And today, the set stained glass has lost its popularity, preferring painting on solid glass.

A particularly characteristic period for painting on glass is the Renaissance. Later, the Imperial Glass Factory produced stained glass windows in the technique of painting on solid glass from 1840-1890. Imperial factories were "model" enterprises, trendsetters and tastes: private glass factories sought to imitate court products. However, due to the complexity of the execution and, as a consequence, the high cost of such paintings on glass, their production was impossible. And, of course, an important historical object of 1847 is the huge altar window of St. Isaac's Cathedral — the most famous stained glass in St. Petersburg and, perhaps, in all of Russia.

Moreover, the painting is done on a single sheet of glass, which makes the stained glass durable, unlike the set-in pieces, which can crumble due to the use of substandard materials..
L.K. himself. Tiffany used the technique of painting on glass in his stained glass windows, painting various small details, including hands and face - on top of the already soldered glass. Because, only by painting the glass, you can reflect the picturesque chiaroscuro and tonal component so that the depicted object is voluminous.

When creating stained glass windows made by the painting method, tempered thick glass is used. The glass sheet is solid, which minimizes its fragility and ensures integrity for many years.
