Canterbury Fused Glass
Founded in 1994, the Leadbitter Glass Studio has been supplying Fused Glass panels to homes and businesses across Canterbury ever since. We also deliver to every other part of the UK. Where Canterbury’s period homes were traditionally fitted with etched or stained glass, Fused Glass has become a popular contemporary upgrade in recent years, bringing a modern finish to doors and windows across the city.
Our Fused Glass designs always begin with an etched glass background pattern, onto which small fused glass tiles are UV bonded, giving each panel real depth and texture alongside its colour. Every panel is supplied as single or double-glazed glass, made to your own sizes for windows and doors. 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, Bevelled Glass, and Etched 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. You can ask us to adjust the tile colours, resize elements, or move the pattern within the panel until you’re completely happy. Production only begins once you’ve approved the final drawing.
How Fused Glass Is Made
Every Fused Glass panel begins as toughened safety glass, sandblasted first to build the etched background. Small pieces of coloured glass are then individually shaped and UV bonded directly onto that surface, gradually layering the design into place.
The fused tiles sit roughly 6mm proud of the surface, bringing real texture exactly where it’s wanted, while the rest of the panel stays flat, built on the same toughened glass base as everything else in our range. That means the same durability and efficiency as a single sheet of toughened glass — no re-leading or re-glazing required — with a double-glazed version available for added insulation.
