Commercial glazing projects demand the right tools. Whether it’s fitting a shopfront or working with oversized panes on a multi-storey building, every task requires equipment designed to handle heavy glass safely and efficiently. At GGR Glass, we supply professional-grade tools built for daily use in demanding environments.
Here are some of the most effective tools for commercial glazing:
The Thorex Nylon Plastic Hammer is one of the most reliable hand tools in the trade. With tough nylon heads, it delivers firm strikes to position frames and fittings securely, while being soft enough to avoid damaging delicate glass edges. It’s durable, well-balanced, and trusted by glaziers for everyday work.
For lifting large panes, the GGR3 Triple Pad Suction Cup is essential. Built with three suction pads and a quick-release mechanism, it can lift up to 80kg with ease. The wider grip makes it particularly useful on bigger panels often used in commercial settings, giving you more control and stability during installation.
When setting gaskets, the Gasket Roller and Deluxe Gasket Roller make the job quicker and more precise. Both are designed to push gaskets firmly into frames, while the pointed end allows you to finish corners neatly. The deluxe version offers a more robust build, ideal for intensive daily use.
A Rubber Squeegee clears water and debris from glass, creating the clean, dry surface you need before using suction cups or applying sealant. For cutting, Cutting Oil is a small but essential investment — it keeps glass cutters sharp, prevents rust, and extends the life of your tools.
No glazing kit is complete without a Strong Putty Knife Chisel. It makes light work of removing old putty and can also be used to apply new material evenly into joints and gaps, ensuring a secure and professional finish.
If you’re building up your kit from scratch, the Glazing Tool Kit with Bag is a convenient option. Packed with a range of core glazing tools in a tough carry bag, it’s a practical solution for professionals who need their equipment ready to go from job to job.
Commercial glazing is demanding, but with the right tools it becomes faster, safer, and more precise. At GGR Glass, we only supply high-quality equipment that stands up to daily use, helping glaziers complete every project to the highest standard.
