Fused Glass

Leadbitter Glass creates hand made fused glass for use in window and door glass panels. Our decorative glass studio supplies homes around the UK and the world with beautiful made to measure art glass panels. We can supply single or double glazed glass panels with designs of your choice.

See Your Design before We Make It

As with all orders placed with our studio, if you order Fused Glass for your home or business, we supply you with a customer proof for approval before manufacture. Our unique Client Pages Service explains everything you need to know about the design service we offer. We never start work on any glass panel until the client has received and approved the scale drawing of the chosen glass design. This great service ensures you are 100% happy with your glass before we actually make it for you.

What is Fused Glass?

Fused glass is created by slowly heating the pieces of cut, coloured glass in a kiln until they fuse together. The result is one beautiful piece of fused glass. To fuse glass successfully it is essential that the individual pieces of glass are “tested compatible” for fusing. If they are not compatible, the glass can become brittle and is liable to break. For this reason Leadbitter Glass only manufactures fused glass designs using Spectrum glass from America. We also use raw material glass from Italy in some of our Tree Of Life designs.

Our Fused Glass Tiles

Fused Glass tiles are very versatile. They can be integrated within most decorative glass patterns and applications. Our fused glass tiles have been used in many projects and are very popular with architects and interior designers. Visit our Fused Glass Past Works to view some recent creations supplied by our studio.

We probably have the largest range of glass tiles available anywhere in the world and you can view many of the tiles in our dedicated Fused Glass Tile Gallery. Personalise your glass design for your doors or windows by selecting individual tiles from our ‘Exclusive’ range of glass tiles. All of the tiles can be incorporated into many of our standard designs or you can even design your decorative glass layout for your window or door. Just send us your drawing via email and we will be happy to calculate a price for your new glass panels.

One of the best things about Leadbitter Glass is we are very self-sufficient. We create all of our fused glass tiles by hand, here in our UK studio. If you like the style of a specific tile but would like to change the ‘blue’ to a ‘green’ – no problem! We allow customers to change tile colours at no extra cost. We can even make all tiles in many different sizes.

What we do

We use toughened safety glass as standard on all of our commissions and we are probably the only fused glass manufacturer in the UK using toughened glass. Our technique of Fused Glass is to UV bond our hand made Fused glass elements we make, to the toughened safety glass. An etched glass pattern can then be sandblasted into the glass to create a background design. This technique allows us to create regulation single or double glazed glass for doors and windows.

We have many popular fused glass designs to choose from in our main gallery below. Other designs and ideas can be found in our Client Pages area. This is a section of the website where we upload customer drawings for approval. The Past Works gallery also contains some unique designs created for past customers. Remember, we produce all of our glass bespoke to order so we can alter any existing design to include your own ideas or preferred colour template.
