What is bespoke glass?
Bespoke glass refers to custom-designed and precision-crafted glass features made to fit the unique specifications of your space. Whether it’s for a modern city apartment, a listed Victorian terrace, or a new-build family home, bespoke glass solutions are tailored to complement your architecture and interior design seamlessly.
At Hond & Langer, based in Enfield, we’ve proudly served areas such as Barnet, Hampstead, Palmers Green, Southgate, and beyond with a wide range of high-quality glazing services, including:
Window Glass Replacement
Cracked, fogged or broken windows are not only unsightly, but they can also affect your home’s insulation and security. We provide expert window glass replacement services, using high-performance glazing tailored to your existing frames. Whether you’re updating a single pane or replacing every window in the house, we’ll ensure a perfect fit with long-lasting results.
Stained Glass Windows
For those seeking a traditional or artistic touch, stained glass adds instant charm and character. Ideal for period homes or feature windows, we offer beautiful handcrafted designs or can restore original stained glass to its former glory. Each piece is custom-made, combining colour, texture and heritage aesthetics.
Fire-Resistant Glass
Safety is paramount, and our fire glass solutions are designed to offer added protection without compromising on style. Ideal for internal partitions, doors and high-risk areas, this toughened glass helps contain fire and smoke, offering precious time in the event of an emergency—all while blending seamlessly into your home’s interior.
Bevelled Glass
Add a touch of timeless elegance with bevelled glass, featuring angled edges that refract light and create a delicate, prismatic effect. Commonly used in mirrors, cabinet doors or decorative panels, bevelled detailing brings depth, luxury and sophistication to any design scheme.
Patterned Glass
When you want to let the light in but maintain a degree of privacy, patterned glass is the perfect solution. Available in a variety of textures and designs—from subtle frostings to ornate motifs—this option is ideal for bathrooms, internal doors, and decorative partitions.
Cathedral & Coloured Glass
Add boldness and beauty to your space with cathedral or coloured glass. These textured, tinted panels are perfect for feature windows, internal screens, or artistic installations. Available in a rich palette of hues and patterns, they’re an expressive way to introduce vibrancy and personality into any room.
Made-to-Measure Mirrors
A bespoke mirror can completely transform a space, amplifying light, creating the illusion of depth, and offering a refined focal point. Whether it’s a grand hallway mirror, a chic bathroom piece, or a mirrored wall for a home gym or boutique, our made-to-measure mirrors are cut with precision and flair to suit your style and dimensions.
Glass Splashbacks
Bring both form and function to your kitchen or bathroom with custom glass splashbacks. Tough, heat-resistant and easy to clean, they offer a sleek, hygienic surface that can be coloured, printed or mirrored to suit your aesthetic. From bold tones to subtle neutrals, we tailor every splashback to your taste and layout.
Glass Balustrades
For stairs, landings or balconies, glass balustrades offer a sleek, contemporary alternative to traditional railings. Our balustrades are made with toughened safety glass and available with a variety of fixing options—from frameless to metal-accented—to ensure a secure yet seamless finish that maximises light and space.
Shower Screens
Transform your bathroom with a made-to-measure glass shower screen, designed for elegance and practicality. Whether you prefer a walk-in enclosure, over-bath screen or custom cubicle, our durable and crystal-clear glass panels help create a spa-like atmosphere tailored to your needs.
Glass Shelves
Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms or living rooms, bespoke glass shelves provide minimalist storage with a contemporary flair. Cut to any shape or size, and fixed with stylish brackets, they’re perfect for displaying décor, storing essentials, or elevating your interior layout with a floating effect.
Table Tops & Furniture Protectors
Protect and enhance your furniture with custom-cut glass table tops or protective covers. Whether you want to preserve the finish on a wooden dining table or add gloss to a coffee table, our glass tops are both durable and decorative, made to suit your furniture precisely.
We use only the highest-quality materials, all manufactured to comply with UK building regulations and safety standards. Whether you’re undertaking a full renovation or simply looking to elevate a single room, bespoke glass gives you the flexibility to be both creative and precise, turning everyday features into standout design statements.

The Benefits of Bespoke Glass For Your Home
Choosing bespoke glass is more than a design choice; it’s an investment in the long-term beauty, value, and function of your home. Here are some of the many reasons why homeowners across London are embracing the versatility of custom glass features.
Tailored to Fit Your Space Perfectly
Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, bespoke glass is made-to-measure. That means no awkward gaps, overhangs, or compromises, just a clean, professional finish that suits your exact layout. Perfect for period homes where standard sizing simply won’t do.
Endless Customisation Options
With bespoke glass, the design possibilities are virtually limitless. You can choose from:
- Different glass types – clear, frosted, tinted, patterned, or bevelled
- Various thicknesses to suit structural or decorative needs
- Colour finishes for splashbacks or tinted panels
- Polished, bevelled, or decorative edges
- Etching and sandblasting for logos, monograms, or artistic touches
Your home, your rules.
Increased Natural Light and a Sense of Space
Glass helps to open up interiors, making rooms feel larger, brighter and more connected. Whether it’s a mirrored wall in a narrow hallway or a glass balustrade on a staircase, these features enhance natural light flow and bring an airy, modern aesthetic.
A Touch of Elegance & Sophistication
There’s something undeniably luxurious about glass. A bespoke feature can turn even the most ordinary space into something special. Imagine a walk-in shower with a seamless glass screen, or a beautifully curved glass balustrade catching the morning light, its elegance captured.
Adds Value to Your Home
High-quality, bespoke features often boost the perceived value of your home. Potential buyers are likely to notice custom glass installations as a sign of care, design-savvy, and premium finish qualities that can influence both selling price and buyer interest.
Safe and Durable
All of our glass is crafted to meet British Safety Standards, including toughened and laminated options where necessary. This makes it perfect for homes with children, pets or high foot traffic. Glass can be a strong, reliable material, not just pretty to look at.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Unlike tile grout or wood, glass is non-porous and wipe-clean, making it a smart option for kitchens and bathrooms. No need for harsh chemicals—just a spritz and a cloth, and it’s as good as new.
Fire-Resistant Options for Extra Safety
We offer fire glass for added protection and peace of mind. This can be particularly useful for doors, partitions or windows in compliance with fire safety regulations—essential for London flats and shared buildings.
Creative Design Opportunities
Bespoke glass allows you to express your personal style in unexpected ways. Consider coloured or stained glass inserts in a door, a mirrored splashback in your kitchen, or custom-cut glass shelves in an alcove—details that add character and charm.
Environmentally Friendly
Glass is fully recyclable and can contribute to a more sustainable home, especially when used to improve natural lighting and reduce energy use. A mirrored surface or well-placed window can reduce your reliance on artificial light, too.
From made-to-measure tabletops to full-scale mirror walls, bespoke glass installations are the finishing touches that turn a house into a home. Stylish, functional and tailored to you, what more could you ask for? Get in touch with us today to bring style and function to your property.
