You might be better off having a local glass company make an insulated glass
unit .

3/16" or 1/4" tempered glass ( outside )
1/4" air space
stained glass
1/4" air space
3/16" or 1/4" tempered glass ( outside )


Then this can be glazed in the window custom frame

My wife and I are in the process of a new home construction. We have
purchased a large stained glass window to hang above the stairs (6' x 8').
We are planning on having an outside tempered glass window in front of the
stained glass. Any tips on what I should have the window hangers do and
not
do? Should I line the inide of the tempered glass with screen or chicken
wire to keep a rock from coming through or is the tempered glass
sufficient?
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff



forget the chicken wire. anything big enough to make it through the
tempered is gonna go right through chicken wire.

make sure the stained glass is covered by your insurance and stop
worrying about it.
