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.


Tour Bovard Stained Glass Across the US Virtually

The dove “burst” window Bovard Studio designed for Saint Justin Martyr’s Catholic Church in Anaheim, CA is a show-stopper. We had the pleasure of creating this window from scratch and installing it for the church’s most prominent window. You can now take a virtual tour of our stained glass window projects in California and across the nation on Google Earth.

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.
