Our frame systems accommodate both
stained glass and clear protective glass in one frame profile. Our
4-inch double glaze frame uses 0.25-inch laminated glass while our
5-inch thermal break frame accommodates 1-inch insulated glass units.
We fabricate these frame systems in-house.
Significant
"bowing" in the existing wood frame resulted in leaking and decay of the
original frame. The existing stained glass and wooden frame are
removed (top left) to allow for installation of a new aluminum frame.
The new frame is installed in two sections (top center and top right).
The new aluminum frame is engineered to meet local building code
requirement for wind load. The stained glass is reworked slightly to
accommodate the new frame and is re-installed. The aluminum
replacement frame closely replicates the delicate lines of the original
wooden frame.
