Textured Slumped Glass
Escape Glass offers New Zealand’s only toughened slumped textured glass, handcrafted to your exact specifications. Inspired by our stunning landscapes, wildlife, and Kiwi culture, each piece is one-of-a-kind, ensuring no duplicates.
Our diverse range of patterned glass enhances both interior and exterior designs. These unique patterns and textures provide privacy and serve as striking focal points in various applications, including splashbacks, cabinet inserts, doors, shower enclosures, balustrades, and furniture.
We also offer custom fabrication, including insulated and double-glazed units, toughened safety glass, and laminated glass. Contact us for a consultation and discover how our textured glass can elevate your home.
No two pieces are ever the same.
WHAT IS SLUMPED TEXTURED GLASS?
Slumping is a kiln firing process where heat and gravity shape sheets of glass over patterned moulds. At Escape Glass, we create an extensive range of forms, styles, and patterns using this technique.
When heated in our kilns, glass becomes liquid and is pulled by gravity into our custom moulds. Once it cools, the glass solidifies into the shape of the mould, resulting in a unique patterned or textured effect.
In essence, slumping shapes glass over moulds at high temperatures, allowing us to customise patterns and textures to suit your needs.
Because our glass is handmade, larger patterns may vary slightly from samples, and textures may not align perfectly from panel to panel. Variations in background textures and markings may also be present.
Slumped glass features two distinct sides, with the smooth side generally preferred for viewing. All our slumped glass is finished with fired edges, so no additional edge work is required.

What Colours Are Available?
All our projects usually start off clear or crystal clear (low Iron) and are then painted. For these projects, we can apply an opaque metallic coating using anything from the Resene and Dulux colour ranges This allows for custom colour matching to walls or cabinetry and gives you creative flexibility.

Colour Tinted glass comes in green, blue, and grey, offering opacity while still allowing visibility.

Can You Make My Glass Any Shape?
We can create standard or custom shapes, including countersunk holes, radii, corners, and curves. Circular holes must be at least the thickness of the glass, and the total area of holes should not exceed 10% of the panel area. A glazing border may be added to ensure smooth installation.
For custom shapes, provide templates marked with hole diameters and cutouts. Panels are manufactured to a tolerance of ±3mm from quoted sizes. Each job is assessed individually.
Escape Glass requires finished glass sizes for all panels
