Saving a Stained-Glass Window

Mrs Green purchased a couple of Stain Glass Units from an Antique shop many years ago and had the units glazed into a timber Stained-Glass bathroom window.

Unfortunately, the timber on the Stained-Glass window had rotted and the stains had become tired. The stains held special sentimental value for Mrs Green and she asked Gardinia to replace the window whilst retaining the stained-glass units.

Before – Mrs Green’s old timber window with the stained glass units:

Gardinia did just that for Mrs Green, the existing stained units were re manufactured into high performance triple glazed units. This process involves the stained units being removed with the existing window, before temporarily glazing the existing window during the manufacturing process.

Next the stains were cleaned and re-sized before been encapsulated into triple glazed units, to protect them from the elements.

Finally the stained-glass units were then glazed into a brand new high performance Upvc window.

After – Mrs Green’s new triple glazed window with the old stained units encapsulated, viewed from the outside:

Mr & Mrs Green are delighted with the installation, I can see why too! They have now ordered some new Cream coloured windows and French doors for their summer house from Gardinia.
