This handmade glass can be integrated into insulating
glass units, safety laminates, or UV/IR-protective
compositions—offering the performance of modern
glazing without sacrificing historical appearance. It allows
you to protect not only the integrity of your building, but
also the well-being of those who live in it.
With options in varied thicknesses, subtle tinting, and
even traditional surface tool marks (restauro® Extra), the
glass can be tailored to blend into any period style—from
18th-century casement windows to Victorian sash frames.
Choosing Craftsmanship in a Fast World
In today’s fast-paced, efficiency-driven construction
world, choosing a handcrafted material may seem like
a small act of resistance. But in truth, it’s a powerful
expression of values. It’s about slowing down. About
choosing long-term beauty over short-term convenience.
Every LambertsGlas® pane is made in a historical
glassworks—still operated by human hands, still fueled by
passion for the material and its legacy. In 2023, this
process was officially recognized by UNESCO as
Intangible Cultural Heritage. Not as a museum relic—
but as a living, breathing tradition.
A Home That Reflects Who You Are
Your home says something about you. And when that
home has history, your choices as a custodian echo louder.
Replacing original glass with synthetic substitutes may
seem minor, but it’s like removing a page from a book: the
narrative shifts.
Installing hand-blown glass is a quiet act of restoration. It
tells the story as it was meant to be told—softly, honestly,
with light as its voice.
Whether you live in a countryside estate or a historic
townhouse, whether your windows face a garden or a
cobbled street, let them speak in their true language. Let
the light in, not through cold perfection, but through
crafted imperfection.
