The Process Behind Hand-Blown vs Molded Custom Glass Lighting Fabrication

Have you ever theorized how those wonderful glass lights are created? We are Pluslamp, and we enjoy making beautiful, unique glass lighting both by custom hand-blowing and by molding. Let us have a closer look at the way these two kinds of glass outdoor lighting are made.

Discovering the Crafting of Hand-Blown Glass Lighting Design

Glass lighting fixtures that are hand blown are masterpieces. Experienced artisans will heat the glass rods to a red hot temperature and then blow air into them in order to achieve distinct designs and patterns. Every one is a unique art, a little different, and thus your fixture is unique. In Pluslamp, our master glassblowers are so proud of what they do and turn tiny raw glass into a beautiful work that when turned on light, it always beautifies any room perfectly.

Molded Glass Lighting Fabrication: A Look at Quality and Economy

Molded glass lighting fabrication is a manufacturing process of creating a shape of glass with a mold. This is done to ensure results are more accurate and predictable. Modern molding process and precision equipment is used at Pluslamp whereby all glass sconces manufactured have high standards of quality. The molding process is economical and more fixtures can be produced at a reduced time.

An In-Depth Review of the Multi-Stage Art of Hand-Blown Glass

To appreciate the intricate scheme of the process of making hand-blown pendant lights, picture a factory where expert workers mould molten glass that is burning. The glassblower heats the glass and blows it with special instruments so that it makes bubbles and swirls. The individual pieces are then annealed in a kiln so that cooling takes place gradually to provide strength and durability. It is a sensitive task and requires precision, time and attention to detail. We work extra hard at Pluslamp to create hand-blown glass luminaires equally as beautiful as they are tough.

The Affordable Alternative to Hand-Blown Pieces

Glass lighting fixtures that a person blows by hand are very beautiful and can be a much more expensive purchase because of the artistry that goes into their creation. Production of molded glass lights is cheaper and yet does not sacrifice the quality and appearance. The molded glass shades by Pluslamp are carefully shaped to reflect the art and craftsmanship of our own hand-blown designs, theming them a favorite among customers who are demanding quality and fashionable lighting.

Differences Between Hand-Blown and Molded Glass for Light Fixtures

Light fixtures made of hand-blown glass have a distinct organic touch and their shape and surface are asymmetrical to form interesting light patterns. Every product narrates about the ingenuity and talent of the craftsman. Conversely, the molded glass lights have some of the smoothest and most contemporary designs and can be used in any interior due to their clean lines and distinct shapes. In Pluslamp, we sell hand-blown and molded glass lights fixtures to meet the tastes and preferences of different people.
