The gracefully elongated windows of the Cathedral of Saint Columba in Youngstown feature the designs of Andrew R. Maglia that Bovard Studio restored. Maglia formed a nationally-renowned studio in Detroit, Michigan after emigrating from Italy. The swooping lines in his figures are perfectly adapted to the medium of stained glass.
Protecting Churches Against Natural Disaster
The new frames and protective covering Bovard Studio fabricated and installed for St. Michael’s in Kingsley, Iowa look stunning on the church’s exterior. 40+ windows received our 1400 Series vented perimeter US Patented frames with exterior glazing designed for the preservation of stained glass windows.
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.
