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.
Stained Glass Protection at Abilene, TX Episcopal Church
Bovard studio breathed new life into the amazing stained glass windows of The Episcopal Church of Heavenly Rest in Abilene, TX last August. 68 gothic windows were restored. With the majority of Bovard projects, we designed, fabricated, and installed our patented Precision Flow® ventilation system and protective covering for all windows.
Repairing Stained Glass Professionally

Look at this repaired stained glass face we completed for St. Mary in Centerville, IA. The highest compliment we can receive is that a window appears just the same as before damage once the installation is complete.
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.
