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.
