 Bevelled
Glass
What
is Bevelled Glass?
Bevelled glass pieces are small pieces of hand shaped glass and they
are bonded to the glass to create beautiful artisitc designs and
patterns for windows and doors. There
are hundreds
of standard patterns
to choose from and with the standard diamonds, squares, rectangles
and tear drops, the limitations of design are truly endless.
Bevelled glass is one of the most popular form of decorative
glass today and the Leadbitter Glass studio creates bevelled
glass panels for customers almost every day.
The bevelled glass
designs
can be
combined
with stained
glass overlay borders and centres to create stunning doors and
windows for your home or business.
Leadbitter Glass has created many custom bevelled designs for clients
front doors and landing windows through the
years which have become the focal point of the home. Combining
Gluechip textured bevels with a Gluechip background overlay produces
a beautiful effect that can only be appreciated when seen 'in the
flesh'.

 What
are the benefits of todays beveled glass?
Although the manufacturing technique has changed
over the years, the materials have stayed basically
the same. As explained above, beveled glass is created
using
hand made beveled glass clusters assembled together
onto one piece of glass (usually toughened glass) to
create
a beautiful design.
The modern procedure has many advantages
over the original bevelled glass
technique. Again energy saving is
a big concern in todays world
and with the bevelled glass design being manufactured onto a
single sheet of glass, this reduces
the possibility of the cold weather
coming into the home through the joints of the design.
Durability and security are another advantage with this
bevelled glass technique. Assembling the bevelled glass
clusters onto toughened
glass provides long lasting and secure decorative glass. Some
bevelled glass clusters can be ordered in bronze, blue
or green coloured glass.
All bevels can be ordered in clear glass.
This Victorian style bevelled glass panel was created by
Leadbitter Glass in 2010 and it is constructed using over 130
individual bevelled glass
pieces.
The panel
measures 870mm
wide x 1200mm high and was finished using aged 6mm lead.
