Decorative Glass in Blackburn

Founded in 1994, Leadbitter Glass has been manufacturing and delivering decorative glass throughout Blackburn for over 30 years. Blackburn’s Victorian terraces and grand civic buildings — from the Gothic Revival Town Hall to the streets of Bastwell and Mill Hill built during the town’s cotton-milling boom — were made for exactly this kind of glasswork, and it’s a style that still suits the town’s period doors and windows today. We specialise in creating and supplying Etched Glass, Bevelled Glass, Fused Glass, and Overlay Stained Glass panels. While we focus on providing bespoke glass to residential customers, our work has also been featured in blockbuster movies and supplied to some of the world’s largest corporations.

4 Types Of Decorative Glass Available…

1 – Etched Glass to Blackburn

Of the many types of decorative glass we supply, Etched Glass is one of the most requested in the Blackburn area. The image above demonstrates what etched glass looks like — it features an obscure background with a clear design. We also offer the reverse style, with a clear background and an etched design. Our Etched Glass Gallery showcases hundreds of designs, including popular styles like Traditional and Shadows of Nature.

Other well-loved etched glass galleries include our Charles Rennie Mackintosh and House Names and Numbers collections. We can also create bespoke etched glass panels based on your own photos or designs. All glass is available as either single or double glazed. As with all decorative glass orders, we create a scale proof for client approval before starting production.

2 – Overlay Stained Glass to Blackburn

The image above showcases an excellent example of an Overlay Stained Glass panel, one of the most popular requests we receive from the Blackburn area. As with all of our glass, both single-glazed and double-glazed options are available, with toughened safety glass provided as standard for every order. Popular styles include selections from our Charles Rennie Mackintosh gallery and the Frank Lloyd Wright gallery.

We also offer a variety of other patterns, such as Countryside Landscapes and traditional designs, available in our extensive Door Galleries. The Main Gallery is a great place to begin your search. If you can’t find a suitable design, feel free to send us your own! We create bespoke glass panels every day, and we can design glass inspired by your current glass or based on a photo or drawing you provide.

3 – Fused Glass to Blackburn

The photo above features one of our Fused Glass leaves, commonly used in our popular fused glass patterns. Our fused glass panels are created by etching the background and adding fused glass tiles, which stand around 6mm proud of the surface. These hand-made fused glass tiles are crafted in our UK studio, with many colours available upon request.

Popular fused glass collections include our Mackintosh Gallery and Tree Of Life Gallery. Each fused glass tile is hand-cut and placed in our kiln, where it is fused over 18 hours, creating unique and beautiful glass features. As with all our glass products, all fused glass panels are toughened and available as either single or double-glazed units.

What We Do

At our decorative glass studio, we specialise in crafting bespoke decorative glass panels for both homes and businesses in Blackburn. We also supply our glass throughout the UK and occasionally receive orders from around the world. Most of our customers are homeowners looking to replace old or damaged glass. If your front door has plain or outdated glass, we can supply stunning new decorative glass to give it a fresh, elegant look.

We provide toughened safety glass as standard for all of our products, and you can choose from single, double-glazed, or even triple-glazed options if needed. We also offer laminated and fire-rated glass, though these types of glass may carry additional charges.

Our service

When customers place an order with us, they have the opportunity to preview their glass design before we begin production. Our glass artists create high-quality proofs to show you exactly how your glass will look. Once you review the drawings, you can request any adjustments to the layout and colours. We only proceed with manufacturing once you’ve confirmed that the design is perfect.

After crafting the glass, we deliver it directly to your home in Blackburn or to your chosen window or door supplier.
