Whether you're a professional glazier or taking on a one-off project, understanding how glazing tools work - and choosing the right ones - can make all the difference. At GGR Glass, we stock a wide range of specialist glazing tools for lifting, sealing, cutting and installing. Here's a look at some of the most useful tools and how they work in practice.
Removing Glass: Where It All Begins
Before a new window can be installed, the old one needs to be safely removed. This often means working with stubborn seals or heavy double-glazed units. That’s where deglazing tools come into play. Our Premium Glazing Tool Kit Bundle helps cut through sealants and lift glass out of frames with minimal risk of breakage, ideal for both commercial and residential jobs.
Lifting & Handling: Safety First
Our range of glass suction cups makes moving panes easier and far safer. Available in single, double and triple cup options, these tools use vacuum suction to attach securely to smooth, non-porous surfaces. Whether you’re lifting a curved panel or a flat unit, suction lifters help you transport and position glass with confidence.
Positioning & Adjustments
Once you’ve removed the old panel and prepped the frame, precision is key. That’s where tools like the Glazing Shovel come in handy. Designed for adjusting glass to the correct height and position, this tool is especially useful when working with double glazed units. It’s also helpful for inserting wedge gaskets into tight frame recesses.
Our Gasket Shears are also purpose-built for clean, accurate cuts, making it easier to achieve a tight seal and professional finish.
Sealants & Finishing Touches
Creating a lasting seal is one of the most important steps in any glazing job. Our Silicone Sealant Finishers allow you to smooth and shape sealant joints cleanly, even in tricky corners or narrow frames. We also offer Sealant Guns designed for controlled application of silicone, adhesives or other sealants, ensuring a clean bead every time.
Measuring with Accuracy
Not sure about the glass thickness before replacing a unit? Our Glass Measuring Gauge gives you a quick and easy way to measure both single and double glazed panels, without removing the glass. It's a must-have for surveyors, installers and anyone doing repairs or replacements.
Why Use Specialist Glazing Tools?
Glazing tools are designed to do more than just get the job done, they're made to do it safely, efficiently and with precision. Whether you're lifting a heavy pane into place, trimming a gasket, or smoothing down sealant, having the right tool at hand reduces the risk of damage and improves the quality of your finish.
