Carlisle Fused Glass
Founded in 1994, the Leadbitter Glass Studio has been supplying Fused Glass panels to homes and businesses across Carlisle ever since, delivering to every other part of the UK too. Where Carlisle’s period homes were traditionally fitted with etched or stained glass, Fused Glass has become a popular contemporary upgrade in recent years, bringing a genuinely modern finish to doors and windows across the city.
Every Fused Glass design begins with an etched glass background, onto which small handmade fused tiles are kiln fired and incorporated into the panel, giving each piece a genuine sense of depth and texture on top of its colour. Panels are supplied as single or double-glazed glass, built to your own sizes for any door or window. The great majority of orders qualify for free delivery across Carlisle.
We’ve supplied glass for a Prime Minister’s home, for Hollywood film sets, and for well-known musicians and billionaires — though the vast majority of what we make is still for homeowners across Carlisle. We also produce other styles of Decorative Glass for Carlisle clients, including Stained Glass, Bevelled Glass, and Etched Glass.

How Do I Know The Colours Will Work?
Good question, and one every Carlisle order gets answered before we go anywhere near the kiln. We build you a free Client Page, uploading a to-scale, computer-drawn version of your design within a few days of you ordering. If a tile colour clashes with your door, or the spacing looks too tight, tell us and we’ll redraw it — however many rounds it takes. Nothing gets fired until you’ve told us it’s right.
What’s Actually Underneath That Texture?
Every Fused Glass panel starts life as toughened safety glass, sandblasted first to lay down the etched background — the same process behind our Etched range. From there, small individually shaped pieces of coloured glass are UV bonded directly onto that surface, one piece at a time, building the design up in layers rather than printing it flat.
The tiles themselves sit roughly 6mm proud of the panel, so you get genuine texture where the design needs it, while the rest of the glass stays flat and built on the same toughened base used across our whole range. There’s no re-leading or re-glazing to think about later on, and a double-glazed version is available if you want extra insulation.
