Overview
- A glazier is one who sets glass. Glaziers specialize in installing glass products like windows, mirrors, shower doors, and bathtub enclosures. They measure the space, cut the glass to size, and attach it using sealants. Glaziers need good communication and critical thinking skills to create positive customer experiences.
Glass Installation Process
- They make repairs by cleaning broken glass, evaluating damage, taking measurements, and replacing or repairing windows. For repairs they may board up windows and return later to fix them.
Tools and Safety
- Glaziers use tools like glass cutters, grinders, drills, and suction cups. They follow safety precautions to minimize injury from sharp glass or working at heights. The work requires precision cutting and securing glass to specification. Most glaziers gain skills on the job rather than formal education.
