On 22, Jun 2016 | No Comments | In Stained Glass For Entryways, Stained Glass For Homes | By Martin Faith
Did you know that hail has caused more than $3 billion in insured damage in Colorado over the
past ten years? That statistic might mean nothing to you, but when your beautiful stained glass
windows are damaged in a hailstorm, the point is brought home in a most unfortunate way.
Nature can wreak havoc with anything man made, including stained glass.
Recent hailstorms across the Front Range have set our phones ringing with residential stained
glass owners as well as churches who are looking to have their damaged stained glass repaired.
And we are always happy to give the encouraging news: yes, your gorgeous and valuable stained
glass can be restored to its original condition. (If it was quite old, it can be restored to an even
stronger condition.)
With our expert stained glass hail damage repair services, we will assess the condition of the
panel, uninstall it, do the repair work in our local studio, and then reinstall it into the home or
church.
Residential Stained Glass Hail Damage Repairs
Whether your stained glass panel is a small sidelight or a huge stained glass bay window in your
bathroom, we will do as much or as little repair as required. Our process involves disassembling
the panel from the edge closest to the damaged area. We take apart only as much of the window
as is absolutely necessary to replace the cracked, shattered, or completely missing glass.
With our access to hundreds of types and colors of stained glass, and our contacts with the finest
glass manufacturers, you can rest assured that we can match the original color or finish of the
glass. Once we add in the missing pieces and fully reassemble the panel, we also clean and
polish it. It’s ready for reinstallation into your window or doors. This is done with a protective
hail-resistant sheet of plain glass on the exterior of the stained glass, to protect it from any further
damage.
Church Stained Glass Hail Damage Repairs
Damaged church stained glass is particularly unfortunate, since the congregation is usually very
proud of the windows and their beauty is a huge part of the experience of worship in that church
or temple.
We have seen examples of large church stained glass windows that have been shredded by
hailstorms. We follow the exact same approach as outlined in the residential section to repair and
restore the windows. We can also add greater structural stability to the stained glass, if that is
required, and we always reinstall it with protective hail-resistant glass on the exterior, so hail
damage will become a thing of the past.
