CWS Design has operated as a stained glass studio from Unit A5B, Knockmore Business Centre, 162 Moira Road, Lisburn, since 1976. A team of craftsmen works on site to design and make leaded and stained glass windows, along with sandblasted and acid-etched glass, curved glass and cast-iron window restoration, for both ecclesiastical and domestic clients. Commissions range from church windows to house and door panels, with glass cut, leaded and finished in the workshop rather than bought in ready-made. The studio also takes on restoration work for older stained glass alongside new commissions. It trades as a single independent workshop rather than part of a chain of glass suppliers, with commissions arranged directly through the studio by phone or email.
