Three primary classifications of the manufacturing processes used in Restoration window glass are: Mouth-blown, Machine drawn and Rolled. Some recent advancements have allowed for larger sizes and tempering capabilities of some "Restoration type" glazing.

Old World Colonial

   This mouth-blown glass is made in Europe the same way it has been for hundreds of years by master craftsmen. If your historic project requires blown glass from 1900 or earlier, this is the glass you want. It is available in (3) categories; light, medium and heavy distortion.

Colonial Antique (1900-1950) 

  Colonial Antique is a machine drawn restoration window glass. This is the most widely used glass for restoration purposes for the time period of 1900-1950. t is also used when tempering, size limitations or budget considerations preclude the use of hand-blown glass. Several textures and variations are available to meet your project requirements.

Rolled Restoration  

   Rolled Restoration window glass is similar to Old World style glass with subtle antique characteristics. It is characterized by a gentle wave, limited seed content and consistent thickness/sheet size. If you are looking for a realistic antique glass to refurbish furniture or buildings at a reasonable price, this may be your best option.
