Brookwood American Military Cemetery - Restoration/repairs GU24 Surrey

Image
We have the opportunity and the privilege  to restore, repair and give some maintenance to X18 stained glass windows at Brookwood American Military Cemetery in Surrey. Some of the the panels showed broken pieces of glass which we replace for a replica in the same traditional painting technique and glass type. There were glasses almost 12mm thick, so we have to get made specially some canes of lead to rebuild some of the panels. The stained glass department in Canterbury Cathedral very kindly helps us making the lead canas manually using medieval methods.

We have the opportunity to restore this unusual stained glass door. It is very normal in old doers to have panels bowed with broken joints and letting the rain get through. The best advice we always give is to create a new lead structure as we did in this case also add some reinforcement bars across which are placed internally.

Reflections Stained Glass created the fun light for this late Victorian entrance by taking from the existing features, also we added laminated glass at the front of the panels in order to give more security to the property along with helping with the acoustic and keeping the house warmer.

After a long period of time stained glass entrances need some attention, specially the main door panels, the use of the door along with its contact with the elements make the lead structure to decay. We striped and rebuild the main door panel is this traditional Victorian entrance in a house in Brighton, East Sussex, Uk Several pieces of glass broken, bowed panel, broken solder joints and unattached from the bars which keep it straight. The challenge on this project was to match the broken panes of glass.
