Essential Glazing Tools Every Professional and DIYer Needs

Working with glass requires precision, safety, and the right equipment. Whether you’re a professional glazier or handling a one-off project at home, investing in high-quality glazing tools makes the job easier, faster, and safer.

At GGR Glass, we supply a wide range of professional glazing equipment trusted across the UK. From fitting new windows to resealing bathrooms or safely lifting glass, these tools are designed to give you professional results every time.

Here’s our guide to the must-have window fitting tools and accessories every glazier — and every toolkit — should include.

Glazier’s Hammer

Every glazier needs a reliable hammer built for the job. The Thorex Nylon Plastic Hammer is ideal: firm enough for precision fitting, but with nylon heads that prevent damage to frames and glass. An essential for any glazing toolkit.

Putty Knife

Applying or removing glazing putty and sealant is simple with a dedicated putty knife. The Strong Putty Knife Chisel is a durable, multipurpose option.

Glazing Shovel

A Glazing Shovel is essential for fitting wedge gaskets into window and door frames. Designed for strength and comfort, it also doubles as a handy tool for scraping away excess putty.

Sealant Tools

Getting a smooth, professional finish with sealant is easy with the right tools:

• Sealant Jointing Tool: creates flawless, flush seals, even in hard-to-reach areas.
• Angular Sealant Finisher: ideal for sealing joints at multiple angles, available in a range of sizes.

Gasket Rollers

Ensure perfect gasket placement with a roller tool. Choose the standard Gasket Roller or upgrade to the Deluxe Gasket Roller for added strength. Both are excellent window fitting tools for pushing gaskets into frames and shaping corners neatly.

Gasket Shears

For cutting window gaskets and sealing strips precisely, options include the Shears with Replaceable Blade and the Shears with Steel Blade, both ideal for mitre joints and angled cuts.

Glass Suction Cups

Handling heavy or awkward panes of glass safely requires specialist equipment. Our Lever-Operated Suction Cups make lifting, moving, and installing glass straightforward while reducing the risk of damage or accidents. These versatile glass handling tools are also useful for mirrors, tiles, and appliances.

Deglazing Tools

When removing old windows, you’ll need a tool built for the job. Our range of Deglazing Tools allows you to cut through existing sealant quickly and cleanly, making it easier to replace panes without damaging the frame.

Complete Glazing Tool Kit

For those starting out or professionals looking for convenience, our Glazing Tool Kit with Bag contains a carefully selected range of essential glazing tools UK professionals rely on, all packed into a durable carry bag.
