Broken Window with Lead Frame
Answer We've repaired many windows of that age and I'm well aware of the problems that can arise. Look in your yellow pages for a stained glass shop in your area. That's where you will find the professionals that can repair you window. It is not something a novice can do. If the window is 100 years old, the glass will most likely need to be replaced with restoration glass. That is glass made specifically to replicate the glass in old windows. The lead might need to be replaced as well. Quite often the leads begins to break apart when you are trying to remove the hard putty in the channel of the lead. Like I said, leave it to a professional. |

Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
