Backlighting Glass Panels for Architecture, Art, and Stained Glass Illumination
Glass is one of the most striking materials to illuminate. From richly colored stained glass to sculptural architectural laminates and eco-conscious recycled glass slabs, the right lighting brings out its depth, color, and visual texture in extraordinary ways. Nu World’s ultra-thin LED light panels are engineered to deliver uniform, glowing backlighting — transforming glass surfaces into stunning illuminated features.
We work with a wide range of glass types, including:
-
Architectural Glass Nathan Allan kiln-cast glass: https://www.nathanallan.com
- Architectural Glass Thinkglass kiln-formed glass: https://www.thinkglass.com/
-
Recycled Glass Slabs from manufacturers like Glass2: https://glass2.us
-
Custom Stained Glass Panels, including lit art and religious installations
Nu World specializes in stained glass backlighting for both residential and commercial applications. We’ve also worked closely with religious institutions, providing subtle, reverent illumination behind altar windows, sanctuary glass, and chapel feature walls. Our team understands the technical and aesthetic considerations that come with sacred spaces.
Typical applications for backlit glass include:
-
Bar tops and kitchen islands
-
Interior wall features
-
Retail displays and illuminated signage
-
Sculptural installations and artwork
-
Stained glass panels in churches and temples
Lighting glass correctly requires careful spacing and diffusion. Smooth, transparent surfaces may benefit from a 1/2” clear acrylic layer, while frosted or stained textures usually diffuse light on their own. We’ll advise you on layering and spacing to avoid hot spots and seam lines.
With over 15 years of project experience, Nu World has illuminated glass features in luxury hotels, high-end homes, flagship retail stores, and houses of worship across New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Calgary, Miami, and beyond.
We ship LED lighting systems across Canada and the USA, working with interior designers, architects, and homeowners to deliver high-quality, custom-engineered solutions.
