Frame Replacement Maintain the
Design...
Preserve the Stained Glass
When it comes to replacing
stained glass window frames, aluminum frames are
the
ideal alternative to costly wood frame
replication. These highly versatile frames
can be built to duplicate the design and
configuration of the original frame, and are
specifically designed to house both stained glass and insulated
glass in the same unit.
Another unique feature is
the ability to
access and remove either the stained or
insulated glass for maintenance without
disturbing the other panel.
New Church Construction Planning
Ahead for Future Stained Glass
Because standard commercial frames require
expensive modifications to add stained glass,
our specialized frames not only house insulated glass,
but also come with a channel already in place
for installation of stained glass at any time.
These frames also come with an optional
"cap bead" which conceals the stained glass
track until the new windows
are installed.
If you plan to install stained glass in the
future, this frame is a cost effective solution
that saves time and money.
Advantages of Specialized Frame Systems
Energy
Considerations: With the advancements in the
frame and glass industry, energy efficient LoE
insulated glass is now available for stained
glass applications. This thermally improved
frame, combined with LoE insulated glass, offers
optimum energy efficiency, saving you money.
Quality: All frames are designed,
pre-engineered and fabricated for each
application and time proven for durability. All
frames are heliarc welded, which makes them more
durable than most standard commercial frames.
The unitized welded construction also decreases
job site labor costs.
Design
Flexibility: The versatility of the
bendable, welded frames allows for complete
design flexibility. Nearly any combination
of square, circle, gothic or roman design
elements and several color choices can be
combined to provide unlimited possibilities.
Future
Stained Glass: Although most churches plan
on stained glass, it is often excluded from
initial building plans. By installing frames
that are specially designed for stained glass
during new construction, additional costs of
future modifications can be avoided. The frames
are ready for stained glass to be installed at
any time.
Frame
Replacement: When it comes to replacing
existing frames, these frames are the ideal
alternative to costly wood frame replication.
Because the frames are custom designed and
fabricated, they can duplicated the design of the original
frames. They also house both insulated and
stained glass in the same unit, removing the
need to add exterior protective glass in the
future.
Configuration: Because there are
five
different frame series available,
any project
from single glaze exterior
frames to 6" steel
reinforced, thermal break frames can be
completed. Interchangeable configurations allow
us to meet even the most demanding
job
requirements.
