Restoration experts from J & R Lamb Studios in Wyckoff, NJ recently removed the aged putty and caulk that had been falling from the Rose window. After a careful cleaning, they reapplied fresh putty to properly seal the window and all of the panes.

When the workers from Lamb Studios removed the protective outer covering from the ventilator panels of the windows, they found that there was an inner tinted glass insert that had shattered over years of repeated opening and closing. Without that tinted insert, the panel was noticeably lighter than the rest of the window. After a few trials, they successfully matched the coloration and the panel has been restored to its original condition.
