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.

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.
