Unique Ways to Incorporate Stained Glass into Your Fort Collins Home Remodel

Most people associate stained glass with temples and churches, but the truth is that stained glass is actually a common addition in many homes. In fact, some of the oldest homes in Colorado were built with large stained glass windows in the entrances, bathroom, and kitchen areas. This idea has been around since America’s early years, but gained most of its popularity following the Civil War. Famous architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright and the Greene Brothers, chose to add stained glass to their building designs due to its ability to filter light.

If you take a drive through Old Town Fort Collins, you can see beautiful examples of antique stained glass. Contemporary styles too have found their way into newer homes in Lyons, Miliken, and Loveland. And it’s easy to see why it’s retained such popularity over the years; stained glass windows are stunning to look at.
