PRICING ART GLASS
Prices are determined by a base square foot price, combined with the cost of the number of pieces used in the design.
Here is a standard formula that many glass artisans employ in order to estimate the cost of your window:
The average design will have 8 to 15 pieces per square foot. More is charged for wood framing, installation, bevels, jewels, painting and other specialty treatments.
The cut pieces are priced from $1 to $2 each, depending on the type of glass and the intricacy of the cuts.
Please print this page, take your measurements, and determine your own "Ball Park" estimate, by following the steps in the formula to the right.
We will be glad to discuss the variables involved and give you a more complete estimate.
We do ship anywhere in the Continental US. (Yes, we ship windows.)

FORMULA
Height (in inches) multiplied by width (in inches) equals: _____
That total divided by 144 equals: _____
That total is your square footage.
Your square footage total multiplied by $100.00 equals: _____(A)
That total is your "base" price.
Your square footage multiplied by 11 equals: _____
That total is the average number of pieces for a window that size.
That total multiplied by $1.00 equals: _____(B)
That total is the average cost for the pieces in a window that size.
Add the "base" price (A) to the cost of the pieces (B) and you have a "ball park" estimate, based on averages.

We require a $30.00 design fee in advance of making any detailed designs. The image above is an example of what I'd send to you before I started construction. This fee is not refundable but it is subtracted from the total, so it also serves as a deposit.
Once you approve of the design and the price, we ask for one-third (of the estimated total) before we begin fabrication. The balance is due upon completion.
How Long Does It Take? It depends on who's ahead of you and how quickly we can work through the design process. If you have a special event that you are planning, we will make every effort to help you meet your goal.
If I can't do what you need, I'll make every attempt to connect you with someone who can. It's the Karma thing.
If you don't think that you could possibly afford what we do - call or email us - there are many alternative ways to get something unique and elegant for surprisingly low cost. We are here to work with you.
