Gold Leaf Transom Numbers at 1110 in Washington, DC
Designs & Signs in Edgewater, Maryland, installed these gold leaf transom numbers at 1110 in Washington, DC. We install genuine gold leaf address numbers throughout the city and the surrounding areas. First, we paint the outline onto the interior surface of the glass. Next, we lay 23 karat gold leaf by hand and back it up with protective black paint. Some excess gold remains on the glass outside the outline, so we remove it carefully at the end.
Gold Leaf Numbers Everywhere
You may have seen gold leaf transom numbers on the windows of your neighbors or local businesses. We would love to provide our transom window services to make your home or business address more stylish and welcoming. The process is lengthy and takes time to perfect, so we always take our time to get the work right.
Gilding on Glass Takes Patience
We exercise extreme patience when we gild glass. Drying time between each layer is critical, and on cold, wet days it runs longer. If we work too fast, mistakes are possible, especially if the gold leaf or paint has not dried completely before the next step. To learn more, see our Transom Window House Numbers page, which has detailed information and photos of the process from start to finish. For background on the craft, read about gilding.
