Main degradation dathologies and restoration techniques of concrete stained glass
Abstract
This study focuses mainly on the so-called dalle de verre stained glass windows, their history, production techniques, the materials they are made of, their main deterioration pathologies and a series of basic guidelines for their conservation and restoration. The aim is to highlight the need to promote the study, cataloguing, restoration, conservation and valuation of this important part of our stained glass heritage among the different agents involved: schools, cultural institutions, official bodies, historians, restorers, conservators and stained glass workshops.
Among the main conclusions that can be drawn from this document is the vital importance of carrying out regular maintenance work, as this not only guarantees a healthy and lasting life for the stained glass, but also shows that without regular inspections, the damage to the objects can be irreversible.
