Willet Hauser posted the following suggestions and/or recommendations for examining stained glass windows.

. . . . . . . .

Interior Observations:

• How many pieces of broken out (not cracked) glass are there?

• Do you see any bowed, sagging, or bulging areas?

• Do you see any light leaks and if so, how many?

• Do you see any evidence of leakage?

• Are there any loose or missing brace bars?

• Do the ventilators open and close freely?

Exterior Observations:

• Is the window covered?

• Is the frame made of wood, steel, aluminum or stone?

• Is the protective covering vented?

• Is the window frame in need of painting?

• Do you see any rotten wood? Is the protective covering clear?

• Is the protective covering broken?

• Is there any evidence of the protective covering leaking?

These are recommendations that EVERY stained glass artist/fabricator should already do when they look at a new or older installation........
