Stained Glass 

Studios, Inc.

     In 2016, Laws Stained Glass Studios provided repair work on (19) stained glass windows at First Christian Church in Morehead, Kentucky.  Laws initially inspected the windows in 2015.  The leaded windows had some bulging at the bottom, but the lead was in good shape.  There was some broken glass and loose braces as well.  The church had existing 1/4" plate glass which had protected the windows on the outside.  But the glazing had come loose in places and needed to be replaced, and the outside wood frames and steel ventilators needed painting.

     The scope of the repair work on the inside included the following:

          - Replacing some broken glass

          - Re-soldering some memorial plates back on.

          - Re-soldering some loose braces.

          - Straightening bulges at the bottom of the windows and installing (2) additional upright braces.

          - Removing chains from the ventilators and permanently closing all ventilators.

          - Cleaning the inside of the windows.

     The scope of the repair work on the outside included the following:

          - Removing the existing plate glass.

          - Chipping off the loose putty and re-glazing polyurethane glazing.

          - Painting the inner steel T-bars and ventilators with rust resistant paint.

          - Scraping, priming, and painting the perimeter wood frame and glazing with one finish coat of paint.

          - Clean the exterior of the stained glass windows.

          - Clean the existing plate glass.

          - Re-install the existing plate glass.

     Laws also found some rotten wood sills.  Laws replaced the rotten wood and primed and painted it with a finish coat of paint.
