Westminster Etched Glass

Leadbitter Glass is a specialist glass company and we supply homes in the Westminster area with Etched Glass and Victorian Etched Glass Panels every year. Etched Glass is one of the oldest forms of art glass and is increasingly used to produce modern and contemporary art glass panels. Etched Glass has been used in many Westminster homes over the years as well as grand buildings and commercial buildings.

Leadbitter Glass also provide Stained Glass, Bevelled Glass and Fused Glass to clients in Westminster.

All orders placed with us receive a free design service otherwise known as our ‘Client Pages Service‘. This is the perfect way to view your etched glass panels in your sizes before they have even been produced. This gives you the opportunity to make design changes before we start work on your panel(s). Once you’ve seen the Computer Generated Image Prieview of how your glass will look, you can request any changes you would like. You may decide you want a border moving, an few extra leaves, or the size of a house number increasing. We will make the requested amendments until you are 100% happy with the design and want us to proceed with production.

Your numbers up!

Etched glass is the perfect style of decorative glass for house names and numbers, as well as door glass and fanlights. Many Westminster homes have top-lights above the entryway, elegantly displaying their house name or number. This type of etched glass is one of the most popular types of order. If your Westminster home has a fanlight above the door, we can create a panel with your house number or house name in etched glass. We can also create door glass to match should you require it.

How is Etched Glass created?

Etched Glass is very popular in the Westminster area and it is ideal for traditional door designs and contemporary projects. This type of decorative glass produces a stunning effect without blocking the natural light from your home. We have produced many etched glass designs over the years and many are installed around the Westminster area.

A temporary mask is ‘cut to shape’ and overlaid onto one side of the glass, the glass is then inserted into a sand-blasting booth and coarse grit/sand is then fired at high speed over the design. Once an even finish is achieved, the mask is then removed, leaving the unprotected areas ‘etched’ while the protected areas remain clear. If the glass is to be a single glazed panel, we will apply a protective sandblast coating to the etched side. If the glass is to be double glazed, we do not add this coating as the etched side would be contained within the sealed unit.
