Canterbury Bevelled Glass
Founded in 1994, the Leadbitter Glass Studio has been supplying Bevelled Glass panels to homes and businesses across Canterbury ever since. We also deliver to every other part of the UK. While Canterbury’s period properties were originally fitted with etched or stained glass, Bevelled Glass has become a popular contemporary upgrade over the years for homeowners across the city looking to bring a sharper, more reflective style of decorative glass to their doors and windows.
Our Bevelled Glass designs are created using small pieces of glass assembled into beautiful patterns, supplied as single or double-glazed glass for windows and doors. With hundreds of stock patterns to choose from — including diamonds, squares, rectangles and teardrops — the design possibilities are almost endless. Almost every panel we make qualifies for free delivery to Canterbury addresses.
We’ve made glass for a Prime Minister’s home, for Hollywood film sets, and for well-known singers and billionaires — but the vast majority of our work is for homeowners just like you. We also make other styles of Decorative Glass for Canterbury clients, including Stained Glass, Etched Glass, and Fused Glass.

Our Free Client Pages Design Service
Every order includes free access to our Client Pages design service. Within a few days of ordering, we’ll send you a computer-generated proof showing exactly how your chosen design will look, built to your own glass sizes. All bevels in our library come with exact dimensions in millimetres, so you’ll know straight away whether your preferred pattern fits your window or door. Production only begins once you’ve approved the final drawing.
American Bevelled Glass
American Bevelled Glass is a longstanding favourite among our customers — built from hundreds of small rectangular and square bevels arranged edge to edge across the panel. The style has a long history in American glasswork, and you’ll likely have seen it before in film or television. Our rectangular pencil bevels come in a wide range of widths and lengths, giving our glass artists real scope for creativity when designing your Canterbury panel.
Every bevel is hand-fitted and UV bonded to a single sheet of toughened safety glass. The traditional method used lead alone to hold the pieces together, with no supporting glass base beneath — a construction closer to a jigsaw than a solid panel.
Our modern method resolves the shortcomings of that older approach. A single sheet of toughened glass eliminates the gaps a lead-only “jigsaw” panel would otherwise leave for draughts, and we can supply it as a double-glazed unit too, for further insulation. Selected bevel shapes and clusters are available in bronze, blue, or green glass, with a Gluechip texture offered on some for extra distinction.
