Case Study:
Protective Glazing/Storm Glass
St. Paul’s Church – Marblehead, Ohio
St. Paul’s Church in Marblehead, Ohio had contacted Franklin Art Glass Studios regarding multiple church windows in need of restoration. After speaking with our Custom Order & Repair Department sales manager on the phone about their project, an on-site appointment was scheduled to meet at St. Paul’s with one of our Expert Installers. The on-site appointment allows Franklin Art Glass to assess the condition of the stained glass first hand and more accurately assess the scope of the project.
Once our Expert Installer arrived at St. Paul’s Church it became clear that their windows were in need of repairs. On the exterior of the Church, acrylic sheets were used at one time to protect their windows but due to aging the acrylic had become cloudy and warped. To ensure the preservation of the stained glass, new Protective Glazing was recommended to replace the acrylic sheets. Protective Glazing is one of the best ways to protect stained glass windows from breakage without distracting from the stained glass on the interior or look unattractive from the exterior.
