Etched Glass for 1930s-Style Doors
1930s-style doors, with their compact glass panels taking up about a third or a quarter of the top area, are a hallmark of vintage UK architecture, blending charm with understated sophistication. Adding etched glass (also known as sandblasted glass) to these doors enhances their period appeal while adding privacy and style. At Leadbitter Glass, we’ve been creating bespoke etched glass for 1930s doors for over 25 years, delivering custom panels to homeowners from Cornwall to Caithness with free UK-wide shipping.
Why Etched Glass for 1930s-Style Doors?
The small, upper glass section of a 1930s-style door is perfect for showcasing etched glass. Our sandblasting process etches intricate designs—think Art Deco geometrics, delicate florals, or house numbers—into toughened glass, creating a frosted effect that nods to the era’s elegance. This not only boosts privacy but also softens incoming light, making it ideal for front doors or internal spaces in homes with a vintage vibe.
All our etched glass is toughened for safety and longevity, available as single-glazed for interior doors or double-glazed for external ones needing extra insulation. Each panel is tailored to fit the modest glass area of your 1930s-style door, preserving its authentic proportions.

At Leadbitter Glass, we make every etched glass panel to measure in our Corby, Northamptonshire studio. Here’s the process:
