Stained Glass Preservation Standards

Preservation Standards: There are several that Cranberry follows. Almost all of them are provided by the Stained Glass Association of America…but just to highlight a few.

• Make every attempt to use all the original material in the stained glass piece so long as it does not hinder the desired outcome of the project.
• Employ methods that are considered reversible to the best of the current knowledge, and methods that will not hinder future examination, treatment or function.
• Employ techniques and materials to minimize adverse effects on the health and well being of coworkers, the general public and the environment.
• Document everything and take lots of pictures.

No matter what the budget, these standards are always followed.
