The entry of your home is a huge focal point seen by all, and really "sets the scene" for your home. Custom coordinated glass entry doors and windows not only create a stunning look, but also allow light into the entry, while at the same time providing privacy. We call our glass "art with a function" because any design can be executed to provide the privacy level you desire. Sans Soucie Art Glass will turn an ordinary entry door and window into an extraordinary work of art.
Etching or carving the glass turns the area white, which will create obscurity and privacy. It will diffuse the light and reduce the amount of glare coming in. (It does not, however, reduce the amount of U.V. rays from passing thru, like “film tinting” can. Film tint CAN be applied to the smooth side of the glass, if desired).
Designs are in most cases a collaborative effort, combining our creativity, knowledge and expertise, with your tastes, preferences and imagination. There is virtually no limit to the design possibilities. Most often, clients come to us with a basic design style in mind. They take a look at our vast array of design archives within that style and although the design may begin there, changes are made to suit your tastes and meet your specifications, creating a custom design for your individual piece. For some projects, we “start from scratch”, and create a one-of-a-kind, original design. Still a collaborative effort thru discussions with you, and taking a look at your home and the surrounding areas where the piece is going, we will base the design on your decor, and the architecture of your home or establishment. Still there are other times when a client will already have a specific design or vision in mind. We take that vision and make it a reality, first rendering it on paper, and then capturing it within the glass.
