Before
After
In 2013 the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary chose Stained Glass Resources to restore their stained glass choir loft
window w depicting “The Last Judgement.” The lead came matrix that supports the stained glass was severely deteriorated and needed to be
replaced. Additionally, the condition of the intricately-shaped wood frame needed to be addressed. Poor original design had resulted in
a structurally weak frame that eventually “broke,” allowing the center of the frame to buckle and deflect several eral inches to the exterior. The
deflection also caused more damage to the already deteriorated stained glass panels. To make matters worse, a layer of polycarbonate
glazing had been added, covering the entire e window and wood frame. Instead of protecting the window w as intended, it caused further
damage to the wood frame by trapping heat and moisture. It also obscured the beautiful architectural detail in the millwork.
