Repairing Fracturing and Breakage of Stained Glass
Stained glass windows are actually not as fragile as you may think. It is just as strong, if not stronger than regular glass. But, the material is susceptible to damage by objects such a hail, debris and even wind. Over time it can be broken or cracked due to normal wear-and-tear. For small cracks like these, we offer drop-in home repairs for your Fort Collins stained glass!
Stained Glass Repairs of Cracking Lead
One of the most common causes for damage on very old stained glass windows is a deterioration of the lead. Lead holds pieces of glass together. As it ages it becomes brittle and sags under its own weight. When this occurs, we remove the window completely from its frame to take it back to our studio. We’ll replace any damaged sections with brand new glass and relead the entire piece to make your masterpiece look gorgeous once again!
Stained Glass Structural Repairs
The framing of your stained glass windows can sometimes begin to give way and sag over time. When this happens you may notice many small cracks in the window. It is unlikely that just a quick fix is needed; instead, we need to repair both the framework and the affected stained glass panels. We do most of this in our Fort Collins stained glass studio but some reinforcements may be done to the framing in your home too.
