Bevelled Glass

What is it?

In the olden days bevelled glass was manufactured using small pieces of glass fixed together with a lead strip and soldered to keep the design together. Although this procedure is sometimes still used today, the modern bevelled glass technique is more popular and is a more versatile product. Toughened glass can be used in todays bevelled glass along with self adhesive lead strip and transparent colour films if required, these materials produce a beautiful effect that lasts.

What are the benefits?

Although the technique has changed, the materials have stayed basically the same. Bevelled glass is created using hand made bevelled 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.
