Ledlite Glass

At the heart of Ledlite Glass is our team of highly-trained and professional glaziers. Whether you want to install a full set of windows in Rayleigh, or whether you need to replace a single broken pane in Rochford, they will sort things out to your precise requirements. We get the glass for many of our windows from Pilkington Glass. Founded almost a century and a half ago, this St Helens-based company has grown into an international brand with offices and factories around the world. A family company, just like us, they produce glass of exceptional quality, which is precisely the reason we use them in our own windows and fixtures.

Leaded lights - also known as leaded windows or leaded glass - are a very specific type of window installation that has actually been around longer than glass windows themselves! The ancient Romans used to create a form of leaded light from the thinnest sheets of alabaster, which they placed into a wooden or iron frame to keep out the elements and let in the daylight. These days, we use the same high-quality glass that we include in all of our regular windows, doors and other fittings. These small panes of glass are held in and supported by a lead frame known as a came (hence the other term for leaded lights - came glasswork).
