# Willet Studios: Stained Glass Restoration Expertise
Willet Studios showcases its specialized expertise in the meticulous repair and protective covering of stained glass windows, as demonstrated by their comprehensive project at Our Lady of Seven Dolors Catholic Church. This project highlights their commitment to preserving the integrity and beauty of significant religious art for future generations. Their approach combines traditional craftsmanship with modern protective solutions, ensuring longevity and aesthetic appeal.
The work undertaken at Our Lady of Seven Dolors involved intricate restoration of interior millwork for a balcony rose window, essential re-cementing of the exterior glass, repainting of the millwork, and the secure sealing of an upper ventilator. Furthermore, they expertly removed outdated protective coverings and installed a state-of-the-art Klear-Flo system, complete with a custom perimeter frame and durable 1/4" acrylic, safeguarding the delicate stained glass.
### Our Lady of Seven Dolors Project Details
This section delves into the specific interventions performed by Willet Studios at Our Lady of Seven Dolors Catholic Church, providing a clear understanding of the scope and complexity of their restoration services. The project aimed not only to repair existing damage but also to implement advanced protective measures, ensuring the long-term preservation of this valuable architectural element.
Key aspects of the project included the detailed repair of interior millwork surrounding the balcony rose window, a critical step in stabilizing the entire structure. The exterior of the window underwent re-cementing to ensure weatherproofing and structural integrity, followed by a repainting of the millwork for aesthetic enhancement. Finally, a ventilator on the upper portion of the window was permanently sealed to prevent drafts and further deterioration.
#### Advanced Protective Covering Installation
The installation of a new protective covering system is a cornerstone of Willet Studios' preservation strategy, offering superior defense against environmental factors. This phase of the project at Our Lady of Seven Dolors involved the removal of the previous, likely less effective, covering and the precise implementation of the Klear-Flo system.
The Klear-Flo system, chosen for its proven efficacy, was meticulously installed using a specially designed perimeter frame. This frame ensures a secure and airtight fit, crucial for preventing moisture ingress and air infiltration. The system incorporates 1/4" acrylic, a robust and optically clear material that shields the stained glass from physical damage and UV radiation while maintaining the clarity of the artwork.
