Stained glass is more durable than one may think but given time it will eventually break down and need restoration. The glass itself may crack, chip or fall out, while the wooden frames and leading can sag or bend under the weight of gravity. Even the sturdiest church stained glass will be damage to stained from environmental factors: chemicals in the air, pollution and UV rays all degrade either the stained glass itself or its supporting lead and wood structures.

Since no stained glass window is immune to breaking down over time, sufficed to say, the stained glass in your church will eventually need to be restored or repaired. In fact, you may have noticed some early signs of aging on your church’s windows already but don’t know what to do about it–if anything.

The first step you should take is to have a stained glass expert you can trust come out and take a look at your church stained glass windows. They can let you know the extent of the damage and the scope of the repair. In some cases, you may have some time before a full restoration is needed but if you do find yourself in need of a restoration, it is best to do it before the windows get too bad. Once a window is in extreme disrepair, restoration costs could get out of hand or the window may be damaged beyond repair.
