The windows at home are made of small rectangles (15cmx10cm) of glass framed into strips of lead. Fifteen of these rectangles are then framed into an iron frame.

I have to replace a couple of glass pieces that broke.


I can lift the thin lead strips around the broken rectangle, the problem is that the glass is very tightly framed against the lead and it is very difficult to lift enough so that the end of the glass is visible.

There is also a great risk of breaking the adjacent glass pieces.

Also, the corners are welded and the only way to lift them is to cut through the weldings.

Perhaps someone familiar with this type of window knows if there a better way to do this.

Thanks,

Antonio
