What is Stained Glass?
Stained glass is coloured glass made by adding colours at the blowing stage. Different coloured pieces are arranged into designs, separated by lead. A staple of medieval churches, it was also popular in the 19th century. Anglian coloured glass mimics stained glass, creating a permanent design you can enjoy for years to come.
Where Can Etched Glass be Used?
Stained Glass Windows
Coloured glass is available across our uPVC , aluminium and wooden window ranges. Our stained glass effect windows are a great option for bay windows, creating a colourful light well catching the light at different angles. Modern stained glass windows are an energy efficient way to replace original stained glass.
Stained Glass Doors
Coloured glass doors are a great choice when you’re replacing period front doors, putting your own stamp on a new porch or upgrading side windows or fanlights. Add coloured glass to your composite, uPVC, wooden and aluminium doors and create a stained glass front door to make the neighbours jealous.

Common Questions About Etched Glass
Yes, etched glass is permanent. It’s made by sandblasting the design onto the glass, meaning it can’t be removed. Make sure you’re 100% happy with the design you choose before you go ahead.
Etched glass is really as strong as the glass that is used to make the glazed unit to begin with. Laminated glass is often the strongest glass, resistant to shattering from the outside. This glass tends to be used on windows at street level or those most susceptible to forced entry.
Etched glass can scratch if you don’t treat it properly. When cleaning etched glass always use plenty of water and a gentle microfibre cloth to avoid scratching it. Dry or clean cloths can scratch etched glass, as can cleaning products containing harsh chemicals.
Etched glass can be expensive with more elaborate or larger patterns, but it doesn’t have to be. Not only is Anglian etched glass great to look at, but it’s competitively priced too. Simply get in touch with us for a free quote for your home.
