Replacing a sealed unit, refitting beads or re-gasketing a window? The right glazing tools make the job quicker and save marking the frame.
We stock glazing tools from brands including JCP, Xpert, Thor and Bohle: glazing shovels and paddles, nylon faced glazing hammers, mitre and gasket shears, suction glass lifters, glass thickness gauges, glass cutters and glazing tool kit bundles.
A bead chisel or deglazing knife gets under the glazing bead without damaging the frame.
A nylon faced glazing hammer taps beads back in without marking the uPVC. Spare heads are available.
A glazing shovel or paddle lifts the sealed unit so you can fit packers underneath. Suction lifters give a safe grip on the glass.
A glass thickness gauge measures a fitted sealed unit, so you can order the right replacement.
Our JCP glazing tool kit bundles combine a glazing paddle with items such as the Thor 710 hammer, an Xpert chisel, mitre shears, a multi tool or glazing packers, so you have the basics in one order.
Mitre shears cut gasket and beads at a clean angle for neat corners. Straight cut gasket shears are for trimming gasket to length.
Check the load rating on the listing and only use suction lifters on clean, smooth glass.
Packing the glass unit at opposite corners so the weight is carried back to the frame. It stops a sash or door dropping. You need a glazing paddle and glazing packers.
The nylon faces are softer than metal, so they are less likely to mark beads and frames.
Yes. That is what glass thickness gauges are for. Check the measuring range on the listing.
