Services
Many stained glass companies are able to adequately repair a stained glass window, however, very few are able to restore a window correctly. A great deal of stained glass is hand painted. The experienced artists at Robert McCausland Limited are able to replicate any painting style. This is not a task for an amateur or an individual who has not been trained properly.
A client initializes contact with us usually either by telephone or email. From our initial contact, we glean from the client the approximate size of the window and the proposed subject matter. We make an appointment with the client and make a site visit. We accurately measure the window and make templates if required.
Among some, outside storm glazing is a contentious issue. We strongly recommend that all stained glass windows are covered on the outside with tempered or non tempered glass dependent upon the possibility of vandalism. Some churches have claimed that the amount of money spent on exterior glazing has been recovered within five years through fuel savings.
There are instances when a church is gifted a window or windows from another church that is closing. Probably, due to inconsistency of size the window cannot be installed in an existing opening in the recipients building. Therefore, a light box is made to fit the window by our expert millworkers. Light boxes are made from a hardwood, usually, oak, mahogany, maple or cherry.
