From colors and materials to design and finishes, **the choices you make in your historic restoration project matter**.  With countless options, **patterned glass is a material that allows you to truly pay homage to another era without sacrificing appearance or authenticity.  ** ## How Patterned Glass is Used in Restoration Projects From a practical standpoint, patterned glass is used in two ways in restoration: - Recreating a certain aesthetic - Replacing damaged or missing elements of a piece  For instance, original, wooden window frames may be rotted out or have panes of glass missing. While impossible to salvage, custom-built frames pay homage to the past -- constructed to look exactly like their original predecessors, glass included.  On the same token, existing glass on-site may have been replaced with “new glass” -- ruining the integrity of the historical aesthetic. Just like in creating, you may be interested in swapping out that “new glass” for more antique-looking panes. Whatever the reason for tackling a restoration, one of your first considerations is to find a decorative glass that “fits” the vision for the final product.  ## 9 Glass Styles for Restoration Projects  The right glass choice can truly “make” a restoration project.   Depending on the style, patterned glass lends itself to: - Achieving a vintage aesthetic for the restoration of older pieces - Allowing a burst of light into a dark space - Adding soft, delicate highlights to beautify an interior Here are 9 glass styles to consider for your historic restoration project:  1. Artique  2. [Clear Seedy](https://newanglebeveling.com/product/clear-seedy/) 3. [English Reeded](https://newanglebeveling.com/product/english-reeded/) 4.

This is a random pattern, so **each piece is a distinctive work of art.**  This pattern is available in 1/8″ thickness with panes measuring 72” × 48”. It is not suitable for applications where tempered glass is required.  ### 3.

[Circa 1800](http://www.restorationwindowglass.com/products/hollander-circa-1800) This glass is supplied by [Hollander Historic](https://www.restorationwindowglass.com/) and can be ordered upon request.  [Circa 1800 ](https://newanglebeveling.com/product/circa-1800/)is temperable and can be turned into an IGU upon request. **It can be used in both window and door applications. ** Available in 1/8" thickness with panes measuring 30" × 70".  ## Fabrication Enhances Your Restoration Project Customizing your patterned glass makes your project unique. In restoration projects, custom designs help pay homage to a certain era or construction style by adding a visual enhancement that blends in seamlessly. Fabrication includes:  - [Edgework/Beveling: ](https://newanglebeveling.com/home/services/edgework/)With a variety of styles to choose from, edgework and beveling add a unique finishing touch to glass products.  - [V-grooving:](https://newanglebeveling.com/home/services/vgroove/) Like chiseling a piece of wood, v-grooving adds intricate designs to glass surfaces.  - [Tempering:](https://newanglebeveling.com/tempering/) A process that makes glass sheets 4-5x stronger, tempering improves the safety and durability of glass pieces. - [Shaped Glass:](https://newanglebeveling.com/shaped-glass/) As no two projects are the same, we can cut glass into almost any shape to meet your specific needs.

Restoration is as it sounds: bringing something back. Those viewing the finished piece, be it an old building’s windows or the decorative sidelights of a door, will notice if something seems “off.” That’s why selecting the right glass for historical restoration is critical to a project’s overall success and reception.  ### Choose the right patterned glass for your restoration project  Download our [Patterned Glass Comparison Sheet](https://blog.newanglebeveling.com/hubfs/Pattern%20Glass%20Comparison%20Sheet.pdf) to review our patterned glass stock:   [![Patterned Glass Comparison Sheet](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4700076/49e2d15a-5b21-46da-aa5a-003347c42aba.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4700076/49e2d15a-5b21-46da-aa5a-003347c42aba)   Topics: [Tempered Glass](https://blog.newanglebeveling.com/topic/tempered-glass), [Glass Shipping](https://blog.newanglebeveling.com/topic/glass-shipping), [Glass Restoration](https://blog.newanglebeveling.com/topic/glass-restoration) #### Written by [Greg Martell](https://blog.newanglebeveling.com/author/greg-martell) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Posts by Topic -
