Etched Glass

We’ve supplied homes in North Dakota with bespoke etched glass since we were first established in 1994. We create all of our glass to order so we can create glass to suit your home perfectly.

What designs do we offer?

You’ll find a wide range of designs to choose from in our etched glass gallery. We manufacture everything from etched house names and number panels, to classic Victorian etched designs. A favorite among our North Dakota customers is our iconic Shadows of Nature collection. This collection of nature-inspired designs allows homeowners to bring the beauty of the natural world into their homes in an elegant and tasteful way. We also have galleries of etched designs inspired by designers Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright. These highlights are just a small selection of the etched glass designs we offer, so if you’re still looking for the perfect design for your North Dakota home, head on over to our etched glass main gallery.

If you require a design that isn’t in our gallery, it’s possible we can create a custom etched panel based on imagery you provide. To do this we need you to supply high quality artwork in an appropriate style/format. This guide will help you understand what types of imagery are suitable for etching.

Unparalleled

Attention to detail

How to order from us?

If you have a door that requires rectangular glass (4 right angled corners), choose your design from our gallery, input your glass requirements, then click add to cart. After going through checkout and placing your order, we will begin the proofing process, as described in the section below.

If you require irregular shaped glass or glass for a window, browse our gallery to find a design you like, visit our contact form with your approximate glass sizes (and a description of your glass shape if applicable) and request a quote. When you’re ready to place your order, let us know and we’ll send you details on how to pay and a link to download our order form. Once you have made payment and sent us your completed order form, we will get to work creating a proof of your glass. The proofing process is described in the section below.

Proofing process

Once an order has been placed, we will produce a proof so you can be sure the glass you receive will look exactly as you envisaged. The proof will show how the design(s) chosen will look in your custom glass sizes. It normally will take up to 5 working days to receive your proof after ordering.

After you’ve reviewed your proof, if anything isn’t quite right, let us know and we’ll happily re-draft the proof for you. You may require amendments such as resizing some elements or changing a font. Only when you’re 100% happy with the proof and give us the green light, we will begin production on your glass.

Most glass we supply to North Dakota (and indeed across the USA) will benefit from free shipping. We also manufacture and supply fused glass to North Dakota.

About Etched Glass

Etched glass is one of the oldest forms of decorative glass with origins dating back to the 15th century. The way glass artists etch glass has evolved over the years to enable more artistic freedom and intricate detail. Most etched glass produced today is created by firing abrasive substances at glass (sandblasting) or using acid.

About Etched Glass

How do we etch glass?

We use the abrasive-blasting method, also known as sandblasting, to create our etched glass. We use this process for a variety of reasons:

It ensures our etched glass finish is consistent and of the highest quality.
It enables us to offer a wide variety of highly detailed designs and even completely bespoke designs to our clients.
It allows more light to transmit through to the home than alternatives like acid etched glass.
It avoids the health and safety issues associated with using hazardous acid to etch glass.

Our Process

We start by designing a custom mask which contains the chosen design based on the client’s custom glass sizes. This covers the areas we want to remain clear from being etched. A pressurized sand-like substance is then fired across the face of the glass in a sealed chamber. After the glass has been fully etched, we remove the mask to reveal the clear sections of the design. For single glazed glass, we apply a protective coating to enable easier cleaning of finger smudges etc. Double glazed units don’t need this protective coating as the etched side is safely sealed inside the unit.

Perfection

Quality Redefined

What to avoid when buying etched glass

Some companies will state that they sell “etched glass” but in reality, they just apply ‘etched-effect’ stickers to the surface of glass. In sunlight, these stickers can turn yellow and even shrink over the years resulting in a dis-satisfactory finish. Keep in mind if a company claims to offer “etched glass effect” panels through screen-printing, they may also experience discoloration over time.

We create our etched glass the right way by sandblasting panels to ensure a high-quality, permanent finish. To avoid disappointment, always ensure that you are purchasing a genuine sandblasted, quality etched glass product. The issues you could encounter with imitation etched glass can be found here.

House Names and Numbers

In North Dakota, etched glass house names and numbers are a popular choice for transom windows, and it’s not hard to see why. It immediately enhances the entryway of a property by adding a touch of elegance. Our glass artists produce hundreds of these panels every year for customers globally.

Transom windows (the glass panel above a door) are quite popular in North Dakota homes, and can be the perfect location to display an etched name or number. Head over to our house names and numbers gallery to find the perfect design to complement your home. If required, matching door or side panels that incorporate the same decorative border etc can also be produced.

To ensure you’re 100% satisfied with your stylistic choices, we will send you a proof of your panel(s) showing your selected font and border (if any) for approval before we begin production.

Your words

Our customers say

The four panels were so carefully packed and the dimensions were to the millimetre of our requirements. The result has absolutely transformed our hallway but has retained our lovely old door. Absolutely wonderful service. Great communication and advice. The product is real quality and will no doubt last for years. Thank you so much.

Michael G.

We have been so pleased with the lovely window created by Leadbitter Glass for our lounge door. We wanted a traditional etched pattern to reflect our Edwardian house. They perfectly matched our existing glass. The service was excellent: the company responded speedily to all our queries and shared draft designs with us to ensure we were happy with the final pane. Within days of agreeing the design, the window was dispatched to us and fitted our door perfectly.

Pip K.

We were absolutely delighted with all aspects of our dealings with Leadbitter Glass. We wanted a negative etched tree spreading across our front door and adjacent panels. With plenty of clear and precise advice from Leadbitter Glass we were able to make our own image work exactly as intended. The glass was produced on time, exactly as defined. We couldn't be happier with the result.

Phil K.

I had two etched glass panels made for our bathroom door with bespoke images. The glass was made exactly to our requirements. Excellent service and attention to detail. Kept fully up to date with progress and delivery date. I was concerned about delivery as we've received damaged goods from other suppliers in the past but I needn’t have worried as the glass came well packed. Really happy with the finished product. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Keith J.

Excellent customer service and product quality is first class. It was a pleasure doing business with Leadbitter Glass. Our order wasn't large by any means, but I still felt it was as important an order to them as it was to us.

Steve F.

Excellent service. Francis quickly developed my draft sketch into a finalised proposal for the etched glass panels for the new doors at our Church and made the etched glass panels within a matter of few days, enabling us to start the works as planned. The packaging of the glass panels was also superb to prevent possible damage in transit. Highly recommended.

Graham L.

Best result you could wish for. We are so pleased we found Leadbitter Glass which we did on an internet search. I had tried locally but no one seemed to have the expertise or vision that we hoped for. Superbly packed with communication about delivery and advise on unpacking. Project complete and we have just the best front door. A great experience.

Mary H.

I have just received my glass door panel and it is absolutely beautiful. This is the second piece of glass artwork I have ordered from Leadbitter Glass and both times the service, attention to detail, and just general helpfulness has been second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
