— Panel size. Bigger panels use more glass and lead, and need heavier reinforcement.

— Design intricacy. The number of individual glass pieces drives cutting and leading time more than area does.

— Glass selection. Machine-rolled glass is affordable; hand-made, flashed and imported art glass costs several times more.

— Repair vs new vs restoration. In-situ repairs are cheapest, while faithful period restoration is skilled, slow work.

— Installation. Fitting into doors, removing sashes or working at height adds to the studio price.

— For period homes, restoring original leadlight almost always adds more value than replacing it.

— Ask whether the panel will be cemented and reinforced — it's what keeps large leadlights rigid for decades.

— Consider safety glass backing on door panels; some states require it for glazing in doors.
