Bristol Fused Glass

Fused Glass manufacturer supplying the Bristol area

Historically fused glass has been very expensive due to manufacturing techniques but our range of fused glass tiles that we supply to the areas of Bristol offers a luxury product, manufactured using traditional techniques for a fraction of the cost normally associated with this style of decorative art glass.

The square Fused Glass tile on the right has been created using four individual coloured pieces of glass that have been slowly fused together in a fused glass kiln.

What is Fused Glass?

Fused glass is created by slowly heating the pieces of cut, coloured glass in a kiln until they fuse together, creating one piece of glass. To fuse glass successfully it is essential that the pieces of glass used are “tested compatible” for fusing otherwise the glass can become brittle and liable to break. For this reason Leadbitter Glass only manufactures Fused glass designs for Bristol homes and commercial buildings throught Bristol using Spectrum glass from America and Murano glass from Italy.

Fused glass and Fused glass tiles are very versatile and they can be integrated within most decorative glass styles and applications. These fused glass tiles have been supplied to many Bristol projects and are very popular with Bristol based architects and interior designers. As with all products supplied to Bristol by Leadbitter Glass, we can also create Fused glass door, window and fanlight designs from your own specific ideas/drawings.

Mackintosh Roses & Mackintosh House Name

In 2018 we received an order for our popular Mackintosh Fused Glass Roses along with an arched panel with a house name. The client wanted the top arched panel to just contain a house name and a border. They also requested a blue rose instead of the standard colour. We designed the set of panels and created a drawing for the clients approval. We used a Mackintosh style font for the house name and included the same border as featured in the door glass below.

Fused Glass Black Daisies Door – Bristol

Our popular Tree Of Life design was chosen by a Bristol customer in 2016 but they wanted to change the tile colours from our standard offering. The client requested black floral tiles which we had never been asked for previously. We did have the materials to make these bespoke fused tiles but first we had to make an artists impression to show the customer how they may look. This proof was approved and we got to work making the glass. You can see our artists impression in the main link above.

Small Fused Glass Window

Way back in 2013 we were asked to create a very small panel with a very basic fused glass tile. The design was to have an etched glass background with a black and clear fused glass tile. The link above shows you the drawing we created for approval. We supply drawings like this for all orders placed with our studio.
