Stained Glass Restoration & Conservation

STAINED GLASS RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION

Restoration and conservation of stained glass church window projects range in the depth of actions that are required. For less involved projects, a few on site trips are required to acquire a sample to match and then to repair the damaged piece in place. For more involved projects of restoring stained glass windows, removing the entire art glass window may be required. For these more in depth projects, we carefully remove, pack and transport the vintage stained glass window to our studio where we continue the documentation process by taking pictures and creating carbon copy rubbings for the windows. After the rubbings are complete, we disassemble each window and then reassemble using new material, but with the original glass. We always incorporate reinforcing bars as necessary while being careful to not obstruct the design. After the re manufacture of the leaded glass windows or etched glass windows, they will be installed back into their original setting to be complete stained glass pieces once again. Our goal is to bring your antique stained glass windows back to their former beauty with careful craftsmanship and our thoughtfully executed methodologies. We are happy to assist if you are looking to have your church stained glass windows repairs.
