Building Stronger Windows for Stained Glass

Restoration continues on the magnificent stained glass windows for Lisbon United Methodist Church. Look at the size of the “Good Shepherd” panel that is undergoing the restoration process.  After the restored panels are complete, we will be re-installing them along with our replacement 6000 Series Aluminum US Patented Precision Flow® Vented Perimeter Framing with wood cladding on both the interior and exterior sides of the new aluminum frame.  

Their original frame was destroyed the 2020 derecho that struck the mid-west with 140 mph winds.  Our 6000 series frames have been tested and approved, when used with hurricane code heat strengthened .090 laminated glass, for maximum US hurricane codes.

Restoring, Protecting, Illuminating: Window Preservation for St. Andrews

The grand rose window of St. Andrews in Roanoke, VA was obscured by rectangular mullions that interfered with the circular design of the window. Bovard studio replaced the frame and yellowing covering with a new protective covering that allows for the underlying window to shine through. With history dating back to 1902, our Studio’s careful attention to detail allows for this structure to be seen as it was originally intended.  We completed general restoration work and protective covering with our US patented aluminum vented frames, designed for the preservation of stained glass windows, for all 61 stained glass windows.
