Stained glass repair makes your window look as good as new.
Stained glass as an art form has been around for hundreds of years, and although it is carefully constructed to last for generations – hopefully even centuries, unexpected things sometimes happen. After all, these windows are made of glass, which is notoriously fragile. It can break, chip, crack, or pieces can become loose and fall out. Which leads us to the topic of stained glass repair.
Many of our clients come to us because they are in possession of an antique piece of stained glass, which in turn is desperately in need of some TLC in the form of stained glass repair.
If your stained glass window – whether a new one or an old, antique one is cracked, has missing or shattered pieces, there is no need to worry. Regardless of where in the design the problem is, it can be repaired and restored to its original glory.
Custom Stained Glass Houston not only designs and builds new stained glass window and door panels, we also repair and restore them as well.
Because we value this art form so highly, we consider it an honor to restore antique stained glass. Over the years, the lead caming that holds the pieces of glass in place may loosen, bow from heavy winds, or require replacing. We will assess the cause of the damage to your window, and determine the best way of going about making the stained glass repair.
If you need pieces of glass replaces, we have access to glass makers all around the world, including hundreds of colors of glass, styles and textures of glass, and even iridescent and special finish glass. It would be pretty unlikely that your broken window would have a glass that we could not find a close match for. If need be, we could have the glass custom made as well.
When it comes to stained glass repair, go with experts who have the experience to know how to best go about the project. At Custom Stained Glass Houston, we will start taking apart your window at the place nearest to the components that need to be replaced. We will only take apart as much as necessary to replace the broken parts. Then, we’ll carefully reassemble the panel, clean and polish it, and reinstall it in your home. This is all done completely by hand, in case you are wondering.
Your stained glass window will look as beautiful as it did the day it was first constructed. So if you have a window needing stained glass repair, or a door panel or a lamp or a lighting fixture, please don’t ever just get rid of it!
