Stained Glass Protection for Ithaca First Unitarian Society
The First Unitarian Society in Ithaca received frame restoration services from Bovard Studio, including Bovard Studio’s US Patented 1430 Vented Precision Flow® Perimeter Framing System. The windows’ internal venting system will help the church cut energy usage and reduce their carbon footprint as it prevents the heat build-up resulting from the heat absorbing properties of colored stained glass exaggerating the stained glass window’s expansion and contraction cycles and allows condensation to escape preserving the stained glass window for future generations.

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.
