Decopane - decorative glass with a new view
Welcome to the revolution! 

During the past decade, nearly all leaded beveled decorative glass production has been sent overseas to countries with significantly lower labor rates.  This means that the only way to make any additional, significant, cost reduction in this type of glass is with the use of automation technology (i.e. take all that hand assembly labor out of the equation) coupled with product innovation. 

Decopane has utilized both of these advantages to create an exciting fusion of traditional decorative glass and modern technology.  Instead of glass Decopane creates a textured film that closely resembles the real article and can be affixed to glass to create a doorlite that duplicates the look of leaded beveled glass.
You can purchase Decopane in one of three ways:

Decopane Film:

You just purchase the finished films, made to size (currently in most all standard glass sizes for fiberglass and steel doors), and finish the units yourself.  Minimum 30 units per order.  You can mix patterns and came colors within those 30 films. 

  • made from perfect CAD/CNC masters
  • vacuum formed plastic with unlimited patterns & textures
  • unique designs can be easily created with Decopane
  • screen printed colors including zinc, black and white caming
  • large volume automated production effectively eliminates high labor costs
Laminated Decopane:

You buy the finished films affixed to one piece of glass and ready for you to finish the IG.  Minimum 10 units per order.  You can mix patterns and came colors within those 10 units. 

  • patent pending technology
  • bonded to safety tempered glass with hi-tech polymer
  • polymer tested for use in extreme cold and high heat climates
  • combines beauty with breakthrough resistant technology
Insulated and Glazed:

You purchase the finished IG unit, all the work is done for you.  Minimum 10 units per order.  You can mix patterns and came colors within those 10 units. 

  • 99% UV blocking for superior energy efficiency
  • significantly lighter weight than traditional 1" IG units
  • insulated and glazed into maintenance-free frames for a lifetime warranty
  • truly affordable at significantly lower pricing than traditional decorative glass

Decopane provides many additional benefits:

  • Production facilities nearby, not around the world
  • Significantly reduced lead times
  • Much less space required for inventory
  • Very easy to test new designs
  • Added benefit of breakthrough resistant glass
  • Full container orders not necessary, just buy what you need now
