Manchester Etched Glass
Etched Glass panels supplied to your home or business
Etched glass supplied to Manchester and other areas of the UK. Etched glass or Sandblasted glass is one of the oldest forms of decorative glass on the market. It can also be used to create a truly modern and contemporary art glass feature. This type of glass has been used on many of Manchesters homes and commercial buildings. This traditional design on the right has been created using a sandblasted design on clear toughened glass.
Leadbitter Glass also provides Stained Glass, Bevelled Glass and Fused Glass to Manchester homes.
Your numbers up!!
Etched glass is an ideal form of decorative glass for house names and numbers on door glass or door glass top lights. Many homes in Manchester have top lights above the door with an etched number. This is one of the most common requests that Leadbitter Glass receives. If your home has a top light above the door, we can create a panel with your house number or name in etched glass. We can even show you exactly what it will look like before we manufacture it by using our Client Pages service. This service is free to all Manchester customers when an order is placed.

Stippolyte Etched Glass Door – Wilmslow
The client wanted the branches to be etched but also wanted privacy. Etching the branches would have created a clear background but we etched Stippolyte Glass instead. This job was one of the first times we had ever used Stippolyte to create an etched glass design. As you can see if you click into the job, it was a huge success.

How is it created?
Etched glass is a great decorative glass product that is very popular in the Manchester area. It is ideal for traditional door designs and contemporary commercial projects. This style of art glass gives an amazing effect without taking away any of the natural light. We have produced thousands of etched glass panels over the years and it is our most requested form of decorative glass.
A vinyl transfer is ‘cut to shape’ and overlayed onto one side of the glass. The areas to be etched are removed from the transfer, unveiling the glass. The glass is then inserted into a shot blasting booth and coarse grit/sand is fired at high speed over the design. Once an even finish is achieved, the vinyl transfer is removed, leaving the clear areas unmarked with the ‘blasted’ areas creating the etched design.
