Product Performance Picture Gallery
Welcome to the picture gallery of the Constglass Project! This gallery shows the condition, damaged or
otherwise, of selected historic stained glass windows throughout Europe.
The navigation bar at the top of the page shows the various conservation materials used on the glass.
Click on the links to find out more about the windows, known as “pilot objects,” which partly were removed
and investigated in the course of the project. An enormous amount of information about the objects and their
condition stands at your disposal - just click on the pictures, arrows and buttons to navigate through some of
Europe’s greatest treasures!
From the navigation bar at left you can access the home page of the Constglass Project as well as information
about the conservation materials, the windows themselves, and the sites from which they originate.
Conservators took samples from each of the objects; scientists involved in the project then tested and
analysed them both to verify the age of the materials and to investigate whether new technologies like CT
might be helpful. More detailed information about the results of these investigations is available under the
“Scientific Summary” button.
