Broken Stained Glass

Replacing Broken Stained Glass with Overlay Stained Glass from Leadbitter Glass

Accidents happen, and unfortunately, stained glass is no exception. Whether it’s a broken panel in a door, a cracked window in a home, or a damaged decorative piece, replacing traditional stained glass can seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, Leadbitter Glass offers a modern alternative known as Overlay Stained Glass, which allows customers to restore their beloved designs with an updated, durable, and high-quality solution.

Recreating Traditional Stained Glass Designs

One of the most remarkable aspects of Overlay Stained Glass is its ability to faithfully recreate traditional stained glass designs. Whether the customer has a Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, or bespoke stained glass design that has been damaged, Leadbitter Glass can meticulously replicate it using modern Overlay Stained Glass techniques. This means homeowners can maintain the character and heritage of their property while benefiting from the advantages of contemporary glass technology.

What is Overlay Stained Glass?

Overlay Stained Glass is a contemporary method of creating stunning stained glass designs using modern materials and techniques. Unlike traditional stained glass, which is crafted by joining individual pieces of thin colored glass with lead strips, Overlay Stained Glass is made using toughened safety glass and high-quality coloured films along with lead strips. This innovative technique allows Leadbitter Glass to replicate most traditional stained glass designs while offering significant benefits over the original method.

Benefits of Overlay Stained Glass

Overlay Stained Glass provides several advantages over traditional stained glass:

Durability – Traditional stained glass can be fragile and susceptible to cracking over time, whereas Overlay Stained Glass is more resilient due to the use of toughened glass and modern materials.
Energy Efficiency – Double glazed Overlay Stained Glass improves insulation, helping to reduce heat loss and lower energy bills.
Security – Unlike traditional stained glass, which can be fragile and vulnerable to break-ins, Overlay Stained Glass provides increased strength and security.
Cost-Effective – Replicating a traditional stained glass design using the Overlay technique is often more affordable than restoring or creating the same design using the older method.
Customisable Designs – Clients have the flexibility to modify or update their designs to suit modern preferences while maintaining the classic aesthetic of stained glass.

Single Glazed or Double Glazed Options

Leadbitter Glass offers its Overlay Stained Glass designs in both single glazed and double glazed formats, catering to different customer needs.

Single Glazed: This option is ideal for internal doors and windows, room dividers, and non-insulated windows where the aesthetic of stained glass is desired without the need for additional insulation.
Double Glazed: For external doors and windows, Leadbitter Glass provides double glazed units that incorporate the Overlay Stained Glass design within the sealed unit. This enhances energy efficiency, reduces noise pollution, and provides an extra layer of security while still maintaining the beautiful stained glass effect.

Leadbitter Glass Client Pages – A Unique Customer Experience

At Leadbitter Glass, customer satisfaction is a top priority, which is why they offer a unique service known as Client Pages. This service allows customers to see a visual representation of their design before any work begins. Here’s how it works:
