Art Glass Door Pulls

Out of the Blue Design Studio has broadened its beautiful lines of Art Glass hardware by introducing a new line of lit front entry handles.  Utilizing cutting edge color changing LED technology, the handles can changed a rainbow of colors by a simple tap on a hand held RF remote controller. The glass handles are between 1 ¾” – 2” in diameter and some designs can be made as long as 36”. Many designs ranging from spiral rainbows to depth carved clear glass handles have been developed and custom designs can be commissioned.   

The glass handles are between 1 ¾” – 2” in diameter and some designs can be made as long as 24”. A remote transformer that supplies 5V to the handle powers the Led lit handles. They require very little amperage to light, therefore the wires are small gauge that have to run thru the door from an electrified hinge. The electrified hinge is a specially made hinge that supplies voltage thru it in concealed wires, therefore making the connection invisible.  

   
Construction of Door Pulls

 All of our door pulls are made from solid glass created with the "Furnace Glass" method using "Batch" glass. Hundreds of different techniques, processes and artist's secrets are utilized in the creation of all the unique Art Glass designs we offer. Once the piece is created it is "Flame Polished" in the "Glory Hole" and is then put in an annealer to "Soak" until it slowly reaches room temperature. This annealing process relieves the stresses in the glass and hardens the piece against breakage. We then take each individual glass design and "Cold Work" them with diamond tooling to get them ready to assemble to the appropriate finished metal ends. All of the metal hardware is CNC machined to exacting tolerances from the highest quality 316 marine grade stainless steel and brass to make a perfect fit to the glass rod.  Once the ends and the glass are chemically cleaned for assembly we use a two part epoxy specially formulated for us for metal to glass adhesion to bond the pieces together. It takes 24 hours for this epoxy to cure which results in a super strong connection that we guarantee for life. Every glass design is artistically orientated in the top and bottom ends for the best viewing when installed. If the glass design lends itself to being illuminated with LED lights, we machine the appropriate spaces in the metal ends to accept our proprietary circuit boards with the LED's imbedded in them. The wiring harnesses are also supplied. We go to great lengths to make sure that each piece of decorative hardware we create will be as special to you as it is to us making it.

Due to the nature of the hot glass medium we work in, replication of these designs is as close to the pictured product as technically possible. Color hues, position of the elements and size will vary from piece to piece. This variance is what makes each heirloom piece we create a totally unique work of art.
