How Do You Frame A Stained Glass Window?

  1. Frame the opening:

The first step in new stained glass window frame installation is to frame the opening. To do this, you will want to measure the space that your stained glass window will be placed within and then cut two pieces of wooden board. Next, nail these pieces of the board over either side of your window opening so that they overlap slightly.

  1. Cut your material:

Next, you can cut the piece of wood that you are using for your windows so that it is 1/4-inch less than that which you have marked on your paper. Finally, nail this wood into the inside edge of each piece of wood and your window will be ready to start.

  1. Install the mullions:

You can install mullions with nails by positioning them along the inside edge of your window frame and flipping them over so that they lie flat against it. Then, you can use 3-inch-long screws to attach each one.

  1. Install the sash:

Lastly, you can install your new windows by attaching a piece of plywood to each side of your window with screws or nails and then securing it with a few more nails on top and bottom.

  1. Add stained glass:

Having installed your new window frame, you can now take the stained glass that you want to install and cut them so that they fit within the window frame that you have already made. Then, use a ruler to draw vertical lines on each side of the glass so that it will be easy to see. Then, position your glazing material over both sides of your window and line up your drawn lines with them.

  1. Final steps:

Finally, you can finish up by using a level to ensure that everything is still straight and in the correct place before removing any nails by taking off the ones that are most visible.
