We have to admit , here at Scottish Stained Glass we really love beveled stained glass. This stunningly elegant style of stained glass is not just beautiful and timeless, it works wonderfully with a wide variety of different architectural eras and different decors. We consider ourselves experts in this type of stained glass, and our customers seem to love it as well.
With beveled stained glass, the beveled glass is usually mixed with another type of glass such as frosted glass, clear glass, or even colored glass. And although the beveled glass itself is colorless, the nature of the beveled edges catches the sunlight in very unique ways, refracting the light and creating prisms of colors in the room.
Beveled stained glass is a lovely way to add privacy to a window or door. It can be done in a wide variety of styles and patterns.

With beveled stained glass, the secret is in the beveled edges. The pieces of glass are cut to the size and shape of the pattern, then the edges are ground down at an angle, called a bevel. When the bevels are joined in the stained glass design, the result is striking. The beveled glass gives the windows or door panels more texture, light, and interest than one might expect from stained glass made without any colored glass.
Beveled stained glass has been popular for a long time. It is considered a traditional stained glass style, and yet with our custom designs, it can still look modern and enhance the décor of your home. Popular places for beveled stained glass in a home include the sidelights and transom in the home’s entryway, the bathroom for privacy, and even basement windows to add style and cover those ugly little well windows.
