Stained Glass Windows – Repair
Church Stained glass windows are considered “works of art” and require true experts to be certain the intricate design of the original artist is preserved when re-assembled. Our studio, Bovard Stained Glass , has 55 highly skilled experts and follow all National Preservation of Stained Glass guidelines. In addition, we have won numerous Preservation Awards for restoration of Tiffany Stained Glass and LeFarge Stained Glass.
Bulging glass, stress cracks, light between the lead/glass joints are early indications that your windows are suffering from “old age” and are indications your windows may need full releading. We offer free consultation to examine the condition of your windows and if needed, a free quote for your consideration.
Stained Glass Windows – Protective Coverings.
“All stained glass windows, when covered by protective glass, must have a ventilation system to prevent overheating of the glass and moisture buildup”. National Preservation Society.
Unlike clear glass, colored stained glass absorbs heat and then expands like most building materials. Because there is no expansion joint in a window sash, overheated glass will have no place to expand and will bulge or the glass will crack. Also, moisture in the air will get trapped between layers of glass and lead to lead oxidation and frame rot. Both of these conditions will cause 50% faster deterioration of your stained glass and should be corrected to preserve your valuable stained glass windows.
Bovard Stained Glass Studio has designed and patented a perimeter framing system with built in air channels to allow a natural air flow to cool the glass and dry the space between layers. Custom fit to your window frames and the aluminum is bent to fit the frame design to avoid unsightly “tic tac toe” grids.
More importantly, our perimeter frame allows us to use your choice of materials. Tempered glass, laminated glass, plate glass, plexiglas and lexan. We install what is best for your church.
Stained Glass Windows – Frame Repair – New Frames
Wood frames for church stained glass windows age and deteriorate just like all natural building materials. Normal maintenance like re-puttying and painting frequently are neglected because of the size of the frames and the need for scaffolding. Egan Church Restorations team of woodworkers can help to preserve your window frames with simple repairs or complete frame replacement if needed.
Our team can remove old discolored protective glass, repair any wood rot or damaged wood, reputty and recaulk the frame and then repaint. Lastly we will install new protective glass with proper venting.
