French Resistance – leaded glass window repair to a\u00a0leaded window which would not give in. Not everyone is aware quite how strong a leaded window is – certainly the would-be burglar in Bury St Edmunds had a surprise when he tried to gain entry through a french door in a house in the town – despite battering a hole in it they were unable to climb through.<\/p>\n

I was on site within three hours of the first call and working around the team from Suffolk Constabulary’s<\/strong> <\/a>SOCO I secured the property using an interim plain glazing solution.<\/p>\n

The leaded window having put up such\u00a0a strong fight was beyond salvage and a new unit will\u00a0had to\u00a0built to exactly match the original. The replacement will include hidden internal steel strips which will further reinforce the door.<\/p>\n

Whilst it is possible to crack an individual pane with an errant stone from the lawn mower actually ripping a way through a leaded window is remarkably hard as the solder joints and lead came will readily flex repeatedly absorbing the force applied through it.<\/p>\n
