Pattern & proportion
October 2026
A quarry is a small pane within a patterned window. On Tudor houses, diamond quarries can give tall, narrow casements a distinctive rhythm. The dimensions of that pattern matter as much as the presence of diamonds.
Photograph the complete window group and measure the pattern alongside the opening. Border lights, transoms and neighbouring windows help establish an elevation rather than a collection of separate units.
The house’s rhythm lives in the proportions.
Glass texture and reflection differ between clear, patterned and decorative constructions. Review samples and the proposed lead or grille widths rather than expecting every new decorative unit to look like period glass.
Confirm safety requirements and the selected product’s glazing options before agreeing the pattern. A drawing and an approved sample make the final order more precise.
