Traditional self-adhesive lead tape without coating, ideal for bonded (American) stained glass, decorative glass applications and restoration.
Lead Natural tapes oxidize naturally over time to produce the typical patina we know from old stained glass.
A great choice for anyone looking for the authentic look of old stained glass.
The tape can also be easily soldered.
Advantages of self-adhesive lead tapes for glued stained glass:
- Low weight: thanks to the uniform construction, there is no need for triple glazing.
- Greater design freedom: the panel does not require lead lines or reinforcing bars for reinforcement
- Flexible use in architecture: can be bonded to materials other than glass - ideal for ceiling lights or decorative panels
- Cost-saving: fast and efficient installation significantly reduces labour costs
Application options:
- Windows and doors
- Kitchen doors and furniture panels
- Mirrors
- Glass partitions
- Ceiling light panels
- Glass roofs
