Swindon Bevelled Glass

Founded in 1994, the Leadbitter Glass Studio has been supplying Bevelled Glass panels to homes and businesses across Swindon ever since. We also deliver to every other part of the UK. While Swindon’s period properties — many built for the workers of the town’s famous railway works — were originally fitted with etched or stained glass, Bevelled Glass has become a popular contemporary upgrade over the years for homeowners across the town looking to bring a sharper, more reflective style of decorative glass to their doors and windows.

Our Bevelled Glass designs are created using small pieces of glass assembled into beautiful patterns, supplied as single or double-glazed glass for windows and doors. With hundreds of stock patterns to choose from — including diamonds, squares, rectangles and teardrops — the design possibilities are almost endless. Almost every panel we make qualifies for free delivery to Swindon addresses.

We’ve made glass for a Prime Minister’s home, for Hollywood film sets, and for well-known singers and billionaires — but the vast majority of our work is for homeowners just like you. We also make other styles of Decorative Glass for Swindon clients, including Stained Glass, Etched Glass, and Fused Glass.

Our Free Client Pages Design Service

Every order includes free access to our Client Pages design service. Within a few days of ordering, we’ll send you a computer-generated proof showing exactly how your chosen design will look, built to your own glass sizes. All bevels in our library come with exact dimensions in millimetres, so you’ll know straight away whether your preferred pattern fits your window or door. Production only begins once you’ve approved the final drawing.

American Bevelled Glass

One of our most popular requests is for American Bevelled Glass — a style made using hundreds of small rectangle and square pieces, covering the whole panel. It’s called “American bevelled” because this style has long been a fashion of American glass, and you may have spotted it in Hollywood movies and TV shows over the years. The rectangular pencil bevels come in many widths and lengths, so our glass artists have endless possibilities when creating a pattern for your Swindon home.

Bevelled glass is created by hand — decorative bevels are UV bonded onto a single sheet of toughened safety glass. Traditionally, small glass pieces were held together with lead alone, with no base glass at all, making the finished panel more like a jigsaw than a rigid sheet.

Our modern technique has real advantages over that original method. Using one solid sheet of toughened glass reduces the possibility of cold air passing into the home through the gaps in the “jigsaw,” and we can also manufacture as a double-glazed unit for even better energy efficiency. Some bevel shapes and clusters are available in bronze, blue, or green coloured glass, and a few come with a Gluechip textured face for an even more distinctive finish.
