The beautiful stained glass we restored 20 years ago, for Storm Lake United Methodist church in Iowa, shine just as brightly today as after we first completed them. About 30 windows were re-leaded and installed with our Patented Precision Flow Ventilation System designed for the preservation of stained glass.

Our hard-working field crew complete the final touches on Bovard Studio’s restoration project. Here is the installation of the restored windows and new frames with Bovard’s patented ventilation system for Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish in Staten Island, NY.
Serene Forest Scene in Stained Glass
Bovard Studio artists and crafts people made two new original art stained glass windows with light boxes for Fort Madison Iowa Community Hospital. This serene scene uses dappled opalescent glass and other organic glass textures to bring it to life. Every element from the design to the light box was built in-house.
Limitless Possibilities in Bovard Stained Glass
The panoramic Nativity window Bovard Studio custom created for Waterloo Westminster Church in Iowa covers the entire length of the church. It is mirrored by another lengthy series of panels featuring Creation. The church hosts a number of windows that the studio has designed and built over the years, bathing the interior with a kaleidoscope of colors throughout the day. The Holy Spirit Window in particular bathes the front of the sanctuary in light because of its unique angle. We take pride in complete and world-class stained glass services from concept to installation.
Leaders in Contemporary Stained Glass
Bovard Studio excels at custom windows, especially facilities requiring a unique window shape. Here is a fiery contemporary design that Bovard Studio conceptualized and installed for Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Missouri.
Restoring Historical Stained Glass in Davenport
Although not as common household names as “Tiffany”, the work of skilled stained glass artists who learned their craft working for Louis Tiffany, incorporated his methods as glass plating, rose to prominence in the same era. Bovard Studio restored such windows for First Presbyterian Church in Davenport, IA, which demonstrates the elegant use of opalescent glass found in early twentieth century liturgical windows.
Stained Glass Resoration for Kountze Memorial Lutheran Church, Omaha, NE
More behind-the-scenes of the stained glass Bovard Studio is restoring for Kountze Memorial in Omaha, NE. The use of floral elements and ribbon-like shapes gives these windows an art-nouveau quality. The prevalence of painted figures and variety of textured glass make these windows a feat to restore, but no challenge is too big for our skilled restoration artists.
Bovard Windows Stand the Test of Time
Bovard Studio frames and protective coverings for stained glass stand the test of time. Look at the windows today that we restored and protected with glass protective covering for St. Andrews Roman Catholic Church in Roanoke, VA 15 years ago! Stained glass is most often viewed from the interior, but with high quality materials, they can be enjoyed from the exterior as well. Traditional stained glass windows often suffer from yellowing plastic protective coverings that obscures their beauty and intricacy and can be a symptom of other structural failure. We encourage you to contact us for a free consultation if you find yourself in this very predicament!
