Bedford Decorative Glass
Leadbitter Glass manufactures and delivers many different forms of decorative glass to Bedford and the surrounding area. We manufacture and deliver Etched Glass, Bevelled Glass, Overlay Stained Glass and Fused Glass panels. We specialise in bespoke glass to residential customers but we have also supplied glass for use in blockbuster movies and some of the worlds largest corporations.
Our studio produces four distinct types of decorative glass which are available for delivery to homes in Bedford.
1 – Etched Glass to Bedford
Of the many types of glass decorative glass we supply, Etched Glass is one of the most popular requests we receive from the Bedford area. The image above shows what etched glass looks like and basically, it is an obscure background with a clear design. All designs are obviously available in the opposite style – clear background and etched design. We have hundreds of designs in our Etched Glass Gallery and popular styles are Traditional or our Shadows Of Nature.
Other popular etched glass galleries are our Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the House Names and Numbers gallery. We can also create bespoke etched glass panels based on your own photos or drawings. All glass is available single or double glazed. As with all decorative glass orders, a scale proof is created for client approval before the glass is started.
2 – Overlay Stained Glass to Bedford
The above image shows a great example of an Overlay Stained Glass panel. This type of glass is also one of the most popular requests we receive from the Bedford area. As with all of our glass, single glazed and double glazed options are available. Toughened safety glass is supplied as standard for all orders. Popular styles requested are chosen from our Charles Rennie Mackintosh gallery and the Frank Lloyd Wright gallery.
There are many other patterns to choose from such as Countryside Landscapes and traditional designs from our extensive Door Galleries. The Main Gallery is the place to start and if you cannot find a suitable design, send us your own design. We create bespoke glass panels every day so we can also make glass inspired by your current glass or from a photo/drawing you have. The main area we supplied when we started out in 1994 was Bedford. We supplied many of the window manufacturers of Bedford with decorative glass and we created many thousands of panels for homes throughout the area.
3 – Fused Glass to Bedford
The photo above shows one of our Fused Glass leaves that is used in our popular fused glass patterns. Our fused glass panels are created by etching the background with the addition of stunning fused glass tiles. We create these hand-made fused glass tiles in our UK studio and many colours can be requested.
Popular fused glass galleries include our Mackintosh Gallery and our Tree Of Life Gallery. Our fused glass tiles are all hand cut and then they are placed in our kiln. 18 hours later they are fused and ready to be used to make our stunning glass panels. Fused Glass tiles are some of the most beautiful glass features we make. As standard, all glass is toughened and can be supplied single or double glazed.
4 – Bevelled Glass to Bedford
The image above is a Bevelled Glass window we created for clients in Chelsea. This design is part of our popular American Bevelled Glass range and the photo is stunning example of the beauty of bevels. There are thousands of bevels to choose from and we can create toughened glass panels with stunning bevelled patterns. Again, single or double glazed is available and as standard we produce a drawing for approval before manufacture.
What we do
Our decorative glass studio specialises in creating bespoke decorative glass panels for homes and businesses in Bedford. We also supply our glass anywhere in the UK and we sometimes receive orders from around the world. Most of the orders we receive are from homeowners looking to replace their old or damaged glass. If you have plain or boring glass in your front door we can supply stunning new decorative glass to give your door a whole new lease of life.
We supply toughened safety glass as standard for all our products. You can choose single or double-glazed options or even triple glazed glass if it is required. We can provide laminated or Fire rated glass but these types of glass carry extra charges on top of a standard quotation.
Our service
When customers place an order with us, they get to preview their glass design before we make the actual glass. Our glass artists create high quality proofs to show you, the client exactly how your glass will look before manufacture. Once you get to see the drawings, you would have the opportunity to request alterations to the layout and colours. We only create the actual glass once the client has told us the design is absolutely perfect. Bedford is a short drive from our studio so you can also visit us with a pre-arranged appointment if you wish. After creating the glass, we deliver it directly to your Bedford home or your chosen window or door supplier.
We also supply Decorative glass to the surrounding areas of Bedford including:
Leighton Buzzard – Luton – London – Milton Keynes – Bedford – Northampton – Cambridge – Stevenage – St Albans – Hitchin – Dunstable – Harpenden – Letchworth Garden City – Biggleswade – Bletchley – Buckingham – Newport Pagnell – Sandy – Ampthill – Woburn Sands – Houghton Regis
