Wissmach Glass

---

Paul Wissmach founded Wissmach Glass in 1904 with a dream to create beautiful colored rolled sheet glass to inspire stained glass work,  This has been realized with over 13,000 square feet of glass is produced in Wissmach's manufacturing facility each day. On average, eight to ten different color runs of glass are made daily.  

Opalescent Glass
Opalescent: Opalescent glass is made with a combination of white glass and a cathedral color. The opacity of this type of glass is in relation to the amount of white glass used in its creation. Our dense opal base glass uses a higher consistency of white glass than our light opal base glass. Because of this change in mixtures, dense opal base glass is much more opaque than our light opal base glasses.

Wisspy Glass
Wisspy: Wisspy Opalescent glass uses a mixture of opaque white glass and a cathedral color.
During production, the white glass is added to the cathedral glass and mixed together
giving wispy opalescent glass soft touches of white in each shadow.

Cathedral Glass
Cathedral: Cathedral glass made up of a single color.
Opacity of the glass is dependent to the color of the sheet.
Lighter colors will allow more light to pass through and darker colors will prevent light from passing through.

Streaky Glass
Streaky: Streaky glass is manufactured by adding a color or colors to a clear glass base.
The color is mixed with the clear base to provide streaks of color throughout the sheet.
The transparency of streaky glass is dependent on the colors used.

Clear Textures
Clear Textures: Wissmach glass is available in a variety of textures to suit the exact needs of the artist.
Textures are dependent on the type of glass ordered, but can be applied to any color of that type.
For example, any color of Cathedral glass can be made with the
Cube texture or any Opalescent or Wispy texture can come with the Stream-X texture.
