Elegant Contemporary Windows of Saint Columba

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.

Restoring the Beauty of Stained Glass

Bovard Studio helped restore several magnificent windows for Parker Memorial Baptist Church in Anniston, Alabama. The project involved both releading and the repairing of intricate wood frames.

Protecting Churches Against Natural Disaster

Stunning New Stained Glass Frame for Lisbon United Methodist Church

A massive compound gothic frame has been custom built with a thermal-barrier aluminum frame with Bovard Studio’s US patented ventilation system designed for the preservation of stained glass windows and installed for Lisbon United Methodist Church in Iowa. The skilled field crew from Bovard Studio carefully operate heavy equipment to lower the frame pieces into the opening.  The frame will then receive both interior and exterior heavy wood cladding.  Afterward, the restored stained glass panels will be installed one by one.


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.
