How to Insert Church Stained Glass Behind Existing Windows

By Home & Garden Last updated Tuesday, June/04/2024

1). Measure the church window to determine the size framing material required to fit the stained glass window against the existing window.
2). Determine the type of material required to frame the stained glass window. If the existing frame is either wood or aluminum you may want to use the same material.
3). Order the framing material to fit the measurements.
4). Screw or hammer the new frame into the existing frame. A wood frame likely includes a spacer trim that is 1/2 to 3/4 inches wide, and an outer frame to secure the stained glass in place against the spacer trim. An aluminum frame fits against the existing frame with a snap-in aluminum piece to hold the stained glass in place.
5). Clean both the existing window and the stained glass thoroughly and allow both to dry fully.
6). Fit the stained glass into place against the new aluminum frame or wooden spacer, and secure it in place with the wooden frame or snap-in aluminum piece.
