Avoiding Damage To Stained Glass Panels From Frame Rot

Many older structures have beautiful stained glass panels in place that despite the appearance that they are in good shape are actually in serious danger of being broken. The windows themselves may be in perfect condition but the frame that the glass is built into may be rotting and leaving the glass to potential breaking from sagging or failure.

In cases such as this it is best if the framing can be reinforced without removing the stained glass window since anytime you move the glass you are subjecting it to all kinds of potential disasters. An experienced carpenter should be able to reinforce the frame for you while leaving the stained glass panel in place to minimize the risk to the piece of art.
