Scottish Stained Glass is dedicated to helping you maintain the aesthetic appeal and longevity of your precious investment. To ensure your stained glass stays in its optimal condition, we recommend the following steps:
Step 1: Regular Cleaning
Start by gently cleaning your stained glass windows. It is crucial to use a soft cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to prevent any potential damage to the glass or the lead came. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they may cause unnecessary damage to the delicate glass and lead components.
Step 2: Thorough Inspection
Once the window is clean, carry out a thorough inspection to check for signs of wear and tear. Look for indications of damage such as cracks, broken pieces of glass, or weakened lead. Regular inspection of your stained glass windows helps identify minor issues before they escalate into major problems.
Step 3: Timely Repairs
Promptly address any issues that emerge during your inspection. Minor repairs, when addressed early, can prevent more extensive damage and help maintain the structural integrity of your stained glass windows. Always handle the stained glass carefully during the repair process to avoid causing further damage.
