Stained glass skylights can give your home a unique one of a kind look.

Some Houston homes have skylights that let in too much light. They are a wonderful architectural feature, and homeowners are usually jazzed to have a skylight in their home. Until the light is waking them up at the crack of dawn, and there’s no way to add a curtain.
By adding stained glass to the ceiling area of these skylights, you can block some of the light while enhancing the overall style of your Houston home. Stained glass skylights are, in a word, elegant. They add beauty, style, grace, a unique touch, and actual value to your home.

So you might want to consider having a custom stained glass skylight installed, even if you do not receive too much light! Just for the sheer beauty of it.
Now, if you do want to block a bit of the sun’s harsh glare, if you do want to cut down on the amount of light, we’d probably suggest a frosted glass pattern that will let some of the light through.

But because we do only custom work, you can have a stained glass skylight in any type of pattern, any colors, any style you prefer. Depending on what room the skylight is in, we can complement your existing décor or design something that will become a focal point for the whole room.

For some ideas or inspiration, you could take a look at this page of stained glass skylights on Houzz.com. http://www.houzz.com/stained-glass-skylight
Did you know famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright frequently created stained glass windows and skylights in his iconic buildings? He called them “light screens” which seems thoroughly appropriate for what they were. And he even had a stained glass skylight in his own Oak Park, Illinois studio, where he dreamed up his incredible designs. If you are a fan of that style (as are we), our designers can create a design inspired by his aesthetic and amazing body of work.

If you prefer modern geometrics, abstract impressionism, Celtic knots, or a simple flower design, Custom Stained Glass Houston can create the pattern and hand craft your new skylight. Why leave your skylight plain when it could be so beautifully adorned with the magic of custom stained glass?

If you are interested in stained glass skylights, prepared to be awed by the massive one that was built at the the Lucasfilm Research Library at Skywalker Ranch. Take a look: http://j.oc.gs/netof
