Glaziers (or glassworkers) are responsible for selecting, cutting, installing and replacing all types of glass used in construction.
Residential glazing involves work such as replacing and installing glass in home windows and installing mirrors, shower doors and bathtub enclosures.
On commercial interior projects, glaziers often fit glass for tabletops and display cases and install decorative glass walls, storefront windows and security windows.
Glaziers also work on the glass exteriors of large commercial buildings.
