Fabricating Windows Just For You
We have our favorite designs, types of designs, and periods we like to imitate, steal from, or create out of our warped imaginations. As you can see from our gallery display, some designs go back to the Renaissance. In California, for example, the Dombrink studio in Oakland spread these ancient designs about in Victorian, Georgian, Arts & Crafts, Deco, and more modern buildings for almost a hundred years.
If you see a window somewhere that you like, we’d be glad to fabricate it for you, provided that you:
- photograph it;
- carefully describe the texture and colors (and, if possible, send samples of glass);
- and tell us the drop-in size.
- Or, to give us a very exact design and size: Buy a piece of graphite at your local art store, place a piece of paper over the window, and make a rubbing.
If you delight in one of our gallery designs but require a different size, remember that in reducing or enlarging one dimension, you also change the other dimension proportionately. We can work from scratch changing both sizes, but that requires re-drawing and other complications, and will change somewhat the basic design, will change the price, and will change the amount time required to deliver the window to you.
If we cannot fabricate the window you want, we’ll give you the names of other people we consider expert and responsible for your consideration.
