A friend of mine just bought an older house with a a very sturdy structure. All of the windows and doors are very deeply (3 &
4 inches) set. He would like to have several windows done with stained glass. The exterior windows are very well set and are weatherproof. Instead of replacing the existing windows, I have suggested mounting his stained glass inside.
I have done this in the past with 18" octagonal windows with breathing holes to prevent moisture and mounted so that they can be removed for any cleaning as needed. His entrance doorway has a a very large glass, with two sidelights and a full width fan at the top.
Does anyone see any pitfalls in doing interior glass installed against a wooden stop. Also, should this be all lead came or a combination of lead and copper foil? Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.
