Hi We've bought a pack of self adhesive lead strip to stick on our windows to give a leaded glass effect. Can anyone advise us on the usual way to fit the diamond pattern to the window.
Should the window be divided into an exact number of diamond shapes so at the edge of each windows the lead finishes where two strips cross, or doesn't it matter as long as facing edges are equal.
The lead comes with a template that you can stick on the glass to line up the lead but of course it doesn't fit our windows exactly so using it would mean the pattern would finish with part of a diamond at the edges of the window. Does this matter? would it look odd? What's the normal practice with window manufacturers, do they scale the pattern to the window or keep all the diamonds the same size and have parts of a shape at the edges where necessary?
Many thanks Roger
