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.

A massive compound gothic frame has been custom built with a thermal-barrier aluminum frame with Bovard Studio’s US patented ventilation system designed for the preservation of stained glass windows and installed for Lisbon United Methodist Church in Iowa. The skilled field crew from Bovard Studio carefully operate heavy equipment to lower the frame pieces into the opening.  The frame will then receive both interior and exterior heavy wood cladding.  Afterward, the restored stained glass panels will be installed one by one.

Uncovering Stained Glass Splendor with New Protective Covering

,

The before and after photos at First Presbyterian Church in Hastings, NE show how old window coverings can yellow over time, obscuring the brilliance of the stained glass. We installed our 1400 Series frames on 80 windows, transforming the quality of the exterior and interior experience of these beautiful windows. In addition, we built a new leaded stained glass rose window and frame to complement style of existing windows.
