Glass Chandelier Buying & Specification Guide

Glass chandeliers can be soft and atmospheric, highly sculptural or visually transparent. The glass format, thickness, colour, finish, mounting method and cleaning access should be considered together before production.

Common glass directions

Handcrafted glass

Individual pieces can create organic or sculptural compositions, but variation and mounting details must be controlled.

Globes and diffusers

Opal, clear, smoke or coloured glass changes glare, diffusion and visual weight.

Rods and pendants

Repeated glass elements work well in cascades and large ceiling installations where rhythm is important.

Mixed material

Glass can be combined with brass, stainless steel, crystal or painted frames for a more architectural result.

Project specification questions

  • Clear, frosted, coloured or textured glass
  • Approximate piece size and quantity
  • Frame and suspension finish
  • Light source position relative to glass
  • Cleaning access and replacement glass
  • Transport protection and packing method
