Handling your Stained Glass Panel Hanging your Stained Glass Panel Cleaning your Stained Glass Panel Other Technical Questions or Comments Handling your Stained Glass Panel It is very important to correctly handle your stained glass panel especially the larger or irregularly shaped pieces. The correct method of holding the panel is to hold it vertically. This minimizes the stress in the panel. Holding the panel horizontally causes stress in the panel and can crack some of the pieces. You may also need to sit the panel down during mounting. Do not lay the panel flat but rather tilt it against a wall in a location where it won’t get knocked over. Again this minimizes the stress in the panel and will reduce the chance of breakage. Hanging your Stained Glass Panel The method use to hang your stained glass panel will vary greatly depending on the size of the panel and the display location. Here are some tips to assist you in mounting your stained glass panel. 1. For large panels (greater than 10”x10”) we recommend hard mounting using the supplied hooks and chain. We recommend drilling a small pilot hole into solid wood and screwing the hook(s) firmly the wood. Test the strength of the hook prior to hanging. 2. For smaller panels our suggested hanging method is the same as for the larger panels above. 3. Some people like to use suction cups to hang some of our smaller panels. We do this at our studio as well. However, we will not be responsible for any breakage occurring as a result of falling suction cups. 4. Another popular option for hanging smaller panels is fishing line. Make sure the line is strong enough to hold the panel and use either the supplied mounting hook or suction cups (at your own risk) to secure it firmly to the window frame. 5. We supply various length pewter-plated chains with most of our panels. In the event that you need a longer chain please Contact Us. Cleaning your Stained Glass Panel Your Stained Glass panel is crafted from real stained-glass and solid pewter. The pewter will not tarnish and should maintain the current appearance. To clean, use a small amount of your regular glass cleaner and GENTLY wipe. You may notice that a small amount of black is on the cloth. This is normal and is the patina used to tone down the pewter. Make sure that you do not pry up on the metal cames. In the unfortunate event that your panel cracks or breaks Contact Us and provide the part number, description and/or size of the panel as well as a description of the problem. A digital photo would be the best. We will respond to you will price to either repair or replace your panel. Most repairs are completed in 3 weeks. |
