As the sole official distributor in Occitania of La Verrerie Saint-Just, the last French glassworks awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant ("Living Heritage Company") (EPV) label, Sklaerenn Imbeaud offers their entire range of hand-blown artisanal glass. These "old-fashioned" glasses may feature irregularities or uneven thickness, which are their greatest qualities.
A collection of 1,320 colour references is available for those seeking exceptional glass, with a unique selection of materials and shades – coloured, mouth-blown glass with unique nuances.
The workshop also provides all the necessary equipment for stained glass work.
« Preserving the expertise of the last royal glassworks seemed essential to me. This glassworks produces the glass needed to restore our cathedral stained glass: without them, no more restoration! Distributing their products was an obvious commitment for me. »
Additional Services
Protective Grilles
We create custom-made grilled frames that adapt to all types of stained glass. The grille is tensioned enough to prevent any contact with the stained glass and protect against impacts. We work with stainless steel, brass, or copper.
Lead Flashings
We craft and install lead flashings at the base of stained glass windows to channel condensation water outward.
Double Glazing
We offer double-glazing solutions for stained glass in partnership with a glazing workshop. This ensures better thermal, sound, and acoustic insulation. It adapts to all types of joinery and can be made with laminated or tempered glass to enhance security.
Do you have a glass object to repair? A custom project? After assessment, the workshop can meet many requests thanks to our mastery of these techniques:
UV Bonding
This technique allows for glass repair using ultraviolet adhesive, suitable for vases, stemware, etc., depending on the extent of damage.
Shaping
Repairing chipped glass through polishing.
Sandblasting
Sandblasting involves projecting sand with a compressor through a stencil. By creating textures on the glass surface, it plays with the effects between transparency and translucence.
Thermoforming
Thermoforming modifies the shape and properties of glass through heat. It creates curves, produces custom effects that completely personalize the object, and enriches the texture palette.
Fusing
More specialized and done on request, fusing involves melting glass sheets together. This technique creates a single large glass panel with a colour assembly, without using lead.
