Norfolk Etched Glass

Etched Glass supplier to the areas of Norfolk

The Leadbitter Glass Studio have supplied hundreds of homes around Norfolk with our beautiful etched glass in recent years. Etched glass is one of the oldest forms of decorative glass but it can also be used to create a truly modern and contemporary art glass feature. This type of decorative glass has been used on many of Norfolk’s town homes, grand buildings and commercial buildings.

Other forms of Decorative Glass we produce for clients in Norfolk are Stained Glass, Bevelled Glass and Fused Glass

All orders placed with our studio will receive a free design service. The Client Pages Service is the perfect way to view your etched glass design before the glass is made. You will get the opportunity to request changes before we start work on the actual glass. Once you see the Computer Generated Image of how your glass will look, you can then request alterations. You may want a border moving or a house number made larger. We will make the required drawing alterations until you are 100% happy with how it looks.

Norfolk! Your numbers up!!

Etched glass is an ideal form of decorative glass for house names and numbers for door glass and top lights. Many Norfolk homes have transoms above the door. House names and numbers are an ideal choice for this glazing area. This type of etched glass 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/name in etched glass along with matching door glass if required. 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 customers when an order is placed.

How is Etched Glass created?

Etched Glass has become a common feature in many homes across the county. This widely embraced decorative glass product is particularly favoured in the Norfolk area, catering to both traditional door designs and contemporary projects alike. The versatility of this art glass style is remarkable, providing an impressive aesthetic effect while preserving the abundance of natural light. In the Norfolk region, we have crafted numerous etched glass designs, solidifying its status as a highly sought-after form of decorative glass.

The glass undergoes a process wherein a vinyl transfer, cut to shape, is overlaid onto one side. Subsequently, the glass is introduced into a blasting booth, where coarse grit is propelled at high speed across the glass. When an even finish is achieved, the vinyl transfer is removed, resulting in the clear areas remaining unmarked. The ‘blasted’ areas unveil the etched glass design. In the case of a single glazed panel, a protective sandblast coating is applied to the etched side. However, in instances where the glass is to be double glazed, the coating is not applied because the etched side is enclosed within the sealed unit.
