Restoring Stained Glass for Custom Light Boxes
ChatGPT said: Heritage recently restored several aged and discolored stained glass panels for a local church. Using our dedicated stained glass studio, the panels were disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled with new lead. They were then mounted into four custom-built light boxes, which were delivered and installed at the client’s site.
In Depth
A local church enlisted Heritage Restoration to restore several stained glass panels depicting symbolic imagery, including an alpha, omega, beehive, and crown. The glass was heavily soiled, and the lead came had deteriorated beyond repair.
Each panel was carefully disassembled, following detailed rubbings to ensure accurate reconstruction. The original lead was removed and replaced, and the glass was meticulously cleaned. Meanwhile, Heritage’s wood shop built custom light boxes to display the panels indoors, using precise measurements and finishes that complemented the church’s interior.
Once reassembled with new lead and sealed for protection, the panels were installed into the light boxes, which included integrated lighting. Heritage delivered and installed the finished pieces at the church, successfully restoring their visual and symbolic impact.
