Lead cames holding panes of glass together in leaded window
Strips of lead stuck onto larger window panes is the modern version to emulate this aesthetic but does not give the multi-faceted light reflecting effect which helps to indicate authenticity in the leaded windows of period buildings.
To make the cames extruded lead is milled to specific dimensions as either “U” or “H” shaped strips. These strips can then be cut and formed to hold the shape of the glass.
