Copper foil comes in a number of widths, thus making it easy to create exactly what you want in your stained glass masterpiece! We offer only quality Edco Foil in the right thickness for your project. If you are looking for a wide solder bead in your work, resembling the traditional leaded channel appearance, choose 1/4 inch wide foil. If you want more of the Tiffany style of presentation, you may want to use 7/32 inch wide foil. Remember that the larger your piece, the more aware you should be with the width of the foil  used in its construction. Thicker widths usually equate to more structural integrity. However, if you prefer a thinner, more delicate solder bead, you can still achieve this look by running “restrip” through some of your horizontal solder seams. “Restrip” is actually a semi-rigid copper band that can be easily placed between your foiled glass pieces and soldered in place promoting much more structural strenght than the foil alone can provide. We carry foil in 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch widths. In addition, most all of these width sizes are available in copper back, black back and silver back foil. Also available in the studio is a decorative type foil: “new wave”. This is a scalloped edge foil used in work that requires more of a unique look and is quite effective in helping you create something a little different !
