Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a wrought triple-glazed stained-glass panel, comprising the following steps:a) elaborating a design of the desired single-glazed stained-glass panel using a computer program; b) cutting the corresponding glass pieces, which have the desired color and texture; c) beveling the glass pieces obtained in the prior step, scabbling the ends of said glass pieces, thus forming an angle of light refraction; d) polishing the glass pieces for eliminating the roughness produced by the beveling process of the prior step; e) manufacturing a first frame according to a pre-established design, by cutting, bending and welding wrought-iron material pieces which form part of said first frame; f) manufacturing a second frame according to the single-glazed stained-glass panel design, wherein the shape and size of said second frame depend of said panel design; g) assembling the glass pieces obtained in step (c) into a second frame, positioning said second frame into the first frame obtained in the prior step; h) joining the glass pieces by using a fuse, which is located along every joint-ends of said glass pieces; i) soldering the joints of the fuses, in order to provide resistance to said joints; likewise, the second frame is soldered to the first frame in several points around the joint perimeter, so as to affixing the second frame to the first frame, thus obtaining a single-glazed stained-glass panel; j) washing the single-glazed stained-glass panel obtained in prior step; k) standardizing the color of both first and second frames as well as the fuse; l) rinsing the single-glazed stained-glass for eliminating impurities; m) sealing with silicon the apertures formed between the first frame and the second frame; n) locating a strip around the perimeter of the single-glazed stained-glass panel, in order to prepare said single-glazed stained-glass panel for an insulating process, said strip including on both frontal and rear faces an aluminum strip which covers a layer adhesive; o) insulating the single-glaze stained-glass, arranging on both frontal and rear sides of said single-glazed stained-glass panel a tempered glass, which have the same shape and size of the single-glazed stained-glass panel, forming a sandwich; and p) sealing perfectly the ends of the sandwich of the prior step, thus obtaining the wrought triple-glazed stained-glass panel of the present invention.
