SGO stands for "Stained Glass Overlay."
SGO is an overlay process which utilizes a unique process combining multiple materials ( glass, lead, multi-layered polyester film, bevels, jewels, etc) to form a solid piece of decorative art glass. The finished product has the look and feel of traditional stained glass, but with the strength and integrity of a solid piece of safety glass. Each piece is custom designed to meet the needs and desires of our individual customers and can be installed over, or in place of, existing glass. With over 300 colors and textures available and complete design flexibility, Stained glass overlay is a great solution for a wide range of decorative glass applications.
