Foilwise does the materials arithmetic for stained glass makers, offline. Pick a panel shape or list your own pieces, add the colours and their sheet price, choose copper foil or lead/zinc came, and see exactly how much glass, copper foil, solder or came you need - then turn it into a quote with labour, overhead and your markup or margin.

Features

Calculate

Panel: rectangle, circle, a custom area, or a list of pieces (count, width, height or area, colour)
Colours: each with its share of the panel, a sheet size and a price per sheet or per area
Waste allowance: simple (10%), medium (15%), complex (25%), or your own percentage
Seams: type the internal seam length, or let Foilwise estimate it from the piece count and average piece size
Copper foil: a suggested foil width for the glass thickness you enter, roll length and price
Solder: a usual rate per length of seam (one or two sides), spool weight and price
Lead or zinc came: U came for the perimeter, H came for the internal seams, stick length, an offcut allowance, and price per stick
