Our clients are leaving the PNW and wanted a piece to remember their time in Seattle that will work with their new Craftsman home. We used a combination of glass to give this piece a period-style look.

Ever wonder what happens when we do a restoration project? Swipe right to see the process. From a broken window to a full restoration.
First, we remove the panel and install temporary covering. Here we used double strength clear glass.
We take a rubbing of the old panel to use as a guide for reassembly. The antique panel is placed in a soak tank to reduce lead dust during disassembly. We then disassemble the antique panel, cleaning the original glass and recycling the old lead.
New glass is cut to replace any damaged or missing glass. Often the old glass is no longer in production, so we match the color and texture using glass that is currently available.
We rebuild the window using new lead that is soldered at each joint. Glazing putty is then brushed into the channel of the lead came, surround and protecting the glass. To prevent the damage from reoccurring, we added steel rebar to increase structural support.
The newly built panel is reinstalled into the opening, to enjoy another 100 years of life.

We have lots of new commissions coming through our pipeline. Stay tuned to see our custom fabrications.

Whether it's a stray baseball, a rock from a lawn mower, or some unfortunate neighborhood squabble; when a window gets broken, we can help. See the repair we did on this Wallingford home.

Our fabricators did a great job restoring this window from a home in the Madrona neighborhood.

The snow hype in Seattle is real. We were excited to have the little dusting show this morning. Stay safe out there!
