Simulated heritage windows e.g. in the appearance of leaded or stained glass panels are made by applying strips of material such as plastic tape in predetermined patterns on registering surfaces of the sheets which make up a double or triple glaze window. The strips can be applied in any desired pattern, e.g. rectilinear or diamond shaped and are applied in an automated manner by tape dispensing heads that are moved over the glass surface in parallel. The production system includes a conveyor for transporting the glass sheets as well as a rotary suction cup which grips the sheets and enables its rotation through e.g. 90.degree. when a second set of strips is to be applied at right angles to the first strip. The apparatus also includes a turntable by means of which the glass sheet can be flipped over or inverted when strips are to be applied to both of its sides.
