LightScreen.art
Lightscreen windows coverings from LightScreen.art are a new alternative to stained glass. Made from laser cut colored acrylic in 3D printed frames, lightscreens cost a fraction of the price of traditional stained glass. Best of all, they’re custom designed on our website from our templates that are sized to your individual window dimensions and colored from an extensive palette so they match any decor, any window and any color scheme. Lightscreens are ideal for windows in a variety of places. In rooms like baths and foyers, they provide both a beautiful decorative touch and the privacy you need. If a window looks out on an unsightly scene or presents uncomfortable sunglare, lightscreens transform eyesores into art. Cover your windows in color and light with LightScreen.art.
