Preservation Brief 12, The Preservation of Historic Pigmented Structural Glass (Vitrolite and Carrara Glass)
Editor(s): Gregory D. Kendrick; Teel Patterson Tiller
Year: 2004
Summary
This is number twelve of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the preservation of historic pigmented structural glass (Vitrolite and Carrara glass).
With today's rekindled interest in the Art Deco, Art Moderne, and Streamline styles, the preservation and replacement of pigmented structural glass have now become an integral part of many rehabilitation projects, particularly in relation to commercial storefronts. This brief, then, was developed in order to address some of the major deterioration problems associated with pigmented structural glass and to recommend methods for maintaining, repairing, and, if necessary, replacing damaged or missing pieces of pigmented structural glass.
