Restored Stained Glass for St. Patrick's in Brooklyn, IA

When it comes to stained glass restoration, we make sure that windows look just as they were intended when first constructed. Bovard Studio specializes in traditional techniques; we use the same methods that have existed for hundreds of years. This is true of the restoration we conducted for St. Patrick’s in Brooklyn, IA. We go a step further with protecting stained glass with our modern frame technology that combats increasingly harsh weather. Our Patented vented frames and Hurricane Code qualifications make Bovard’s frames the top choice in stained glass protection and preservation.

Bovard Windows Stand the Test of Time

, , ,

Bovard Studio frames and protective coverings for stained glass stand the test of time. Look at the windows today that we restored and protected with glass protective covering for St. Andrews Roman Catholic Church in Roanoke, VA  15 years ago! Stained glass is most often viewed from the interior, but with high quality materials, they can be enjoyed from the exterior as well. Traditional stained glass windows often suffer from yellowing plastic protective coverings that obscures their beauty and intricacy and can be a symptom of other structural failure. We encourage you to contact us for a free consultation if you find yourself in this very predicament!
