Protective Stained Glass Window Covering

Protection Can Be Beautiful with Associated Crafts Klear-Flo Protective Glazing System. If you would like to protect your windows from the elements of nature as well as vandals while reducing maintenance and energy costs, Associated Crafts can help. We offer a product that can help preserve your church’s stained glass for years to come.

With Associated Crafts innovative protective glazing system, your beautiful stained glass windows will remain beautiful as a result of our special contouring techniques that allow the natural architecture to remain dominate. The Klear-Flo glazing system is properly vented through the frame for each installation and our aesthetically pleasing and highly functional custom vents feature a screening and filtering system. Klear-Flo framing has been specifically designed for Associated Crafts customers and is the result of many years of development and testing -- making it the most effective system available today. The glazing system is available in three standard colors - white, cream and bronze. Custom colors can also be made available.

Associated Crafts offers four different types of glazing materials for our Klear-Flo system. Our consultants are often asked which choice of glazing material is best and our answer is that each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Our job is to clearly explain both sides to our customers so that it will help them make a quality decision for their particular church and its particular needs.

Possibly the most important component of the Klear-Flo glazing system is the sealant. Associated Crafts uses two high quality sealants - Silpruf® or Dow Corning 795. Both are neutral cure products that adhere to a variety of substrates thus guaranteeing a durable, long lasting and waterproof installation.

Frame Repair and Maintenance

Before the Associated Crafts team installs the new Klear-Flo glazing system, we must first scrape, paint and repair the exterior millwork. After all, this is a permanent installation and it is important for the frame to be in pristine condition prior to the Klear-Flo installation.

Associated Crafts craftsman are thoroughly trained and experienced in this area and use only high quality paints such as Sherwin Williams Duration. If any of the window’s wood or steel frames are in need of repair, Associated Crafts customers are in luck - each team includes a project manager who is trained in wood and steel frame repair.

Associated Crafts’ specifically designed framing allows our craftsman to contour the new framing onsite to closely match the existing millwork. Each Associated Crafts team member carries an electric bender made exclusively for our framing. The framing is a special alloy to allow smooth continuous bending not available by other framings used in the industry.
