Renovation of stained-glass window for a house in Hamont-Achel.
Renovation of the stained-glass windows on the first and second floors, involving the challenge of combining 21 panels into six large stained-glass panels. The stained-glass panels were then fitted between double glazing to ensure the windows comply with current energy standards.
Hamont-Achel is a beautiful village near the Belgian–Dutch border.
Not only is it known for the former Achel Trappist brewery, but also for its beautiful, architecturally distinctive houses!
It is therefore with great pride that I present this renovation project to you !
Glass window renovation on the 1st and 2nd floors! The brief was to produce 6 panels out of 21!
3 × 1850 mm (height) by 610 mm (width)
3 × 2450 mm (height) by 610 mm (width)
The 1st floor features the eye-catching piece, which is 2450 mm long. All the pieces on the first floor are original glass pieces.
The challenge was to construct an equivalent replica for the second floor. This was achieved through some painstaking work; 80% of the original pieces were found after some detective work.
All glass windows are fitted between double glazing, so that the renovation almost meets current energy standards. Please do not throw your window directly into the bin! There are already plenty of solutions available.
Each small square contains 2.5 x 2 metres of lead, 6 mm thick, equating to 5 metres of lead per panel
