Wrexham Decorative Glass
Founded in 1994, Leadbitter Glass has been manufacturing and delivering decorative glass throughout Wrexham for over 30 years. St Giles’ Church, its 136-foot tower completed in 1524-25 and celebrated as one of the “Seven Wonders of Wales,” holds a stained glass window attributed to the celebrated Victorian artist Edward Burne-Jones, and is the burial place of Elihu Yale, benefactor of Yale University. This depth of medieval and Victorian architecture has always suited stained and etched glass particularly well, while bevelled and fused glass have become popular contemporary upgrades for many Wrexham homes over the years.
We specialise in creating and supplying Etched Glass, Bevelled Glass, Fused Glass, and Overlay Stained Glass panels. While we focus on providing bespoke glass to residential customers, our work has also been featured in blockbuster movies and supplied to some of the world’s largest corporations.
4 Types Of Decorative Glass Available…
1 – Etched Glass to Wrexham
Of the many types of decorative glass we supply, Etched Glass is one of the most requested styles across Wrexham, particularly for period front doors. The image below shows what etched glass looks like — an obscured background surrounding a clear design, though we also produce the reverse effect, with a clear background and an etched pattern. Our Etched Glass Gallery holds hundreds of designs, including our popular Traditional and Shadows of Nature collections.
Our Charles Rennie Mackintosh and House Names and Numbers galleries are also firm favourites with Wrexham clients. We’re just as happy to create a bespoke etched panel from your own photograph or sketch. Every panel is available as either single or double glazed, and every order includes a scale proof for your approval before production begins.
2 – Overlay Stained Glass to Wrexham
The photograph below is a genuine example of our Overlay Stained Glass, one of the styles we’re asked for most often by Wrexham homeowners. Every panel is offered as single or double glazing, built as standard on toughened safety glass. Our Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright galleries remain particularly popular choices across the town.
Our Door Galleries feature plenty of further patterns beyond these, including our Countryside Landscapes range. Take a look at our Main Gallery for a good starting point, or simply send over your own idea or photograph — we design bespoke glass daily and can take inspiration from your existing panel, or from any image you provide.
3 – Fused Glass to Wrexham
Below is one of our Fused Glass leaves, a familiar element within our fused glass patterns. Fused Glass has become a popular contemporary upgrade across many Wrexham homes over the years, rather than a period feature in its own right. Each panel begins with an etched background, onto which individually hand-cut fused glass tiles are fixed, standing roughly 6mm proud of the surface. Every tile is made in our own UK studio, in whichever colours you prefer.
Our Mackintosh Gallery and Tree Of Life Gallery are two of our most popular fused glass collections. Each tile is hand-cut and fired in our kiln over roughly 18 hours, forming a genuinely one-off feature. Every fused panel is toughened, and available as single or double glazing.
4 – Bevelled Glass to Wrexham
The window below is part of our American Bevelled Glass range, and a genuinely striking demonstration of the beauty of bevels. As with fused glass, bevelled glass has grown into a favoured contemporary upgrade across Wrexham rather than an original period feature. We hold thousands of bevel patterns in our library, and can build toughened panels to virtually any design. Every order is single or double glazed as required, with a drawing supplied for your approval ahead of manufacture.
What We Do
Our decorative glass studio crafts bespoke glass panels for homes and businesses across Wrexham, and delivers throughout the rest of the UK too, with occasional orders reaching us from overseas. Most of our customers are homeowners replacing tired or damaged glass. A plain or dated front door panel can be transformed with genuinely striking new decorative glass.
Toughened safety glass is standard on everything we make, and you can choose single, double, or triple glazing depending on your needs. Laminated and fire-rated glass are also available, sometimes at an additional cost.
Our service
Every order includes a preview of your design ahead of production. Our glass artists put together a high-quality proof so you can see exactly how the finished piece will look, and adjust the layout or colourway as many times as you need. We won’t begin manufacturing until you’re entirely happy.
Once complete, we deliver the finished glass straight to your Wrexham address, or to your chosen window or door installer.
