⭐ Core Definition: Glazier

A glazier is a tradesperson responsible for cutting, installing, and removing glass (and materials used as substitutes for glass, such as some plastics). They also refer to blueprints to figure out the size, shape, and location of the glass in the building. They may have to consider the type and size of scaffolding they need to stand on to fit and install the glass. Glaziers may work with glass in various surfaces and settings, such as cutting and installing windows, doors, shower doors, skylights, storefronts, display cases, mirrors, facades, interior walls, ceilings, and tabletops.

Glazier in the context of Guilds in Medieval Europe

Guilds in medieval Europe were associations of craftsmen, merchants, or other skilled workers that emerged across Europe to regulate trade, maintain standards, and protect the economic and social interests of their members. These organizations developed into influential institutions that shaped urban economies, oversaw apprenticeships and professional conduct, and often held significant political authority within their towns. Guilds varied widely—from powerful merchant guilds to specialized craft guilds—and their legacy can still be seen today in surviving traditions, historical buildings, and the organizational models that influenced modern trade regulation and professional associations.

There were several types of guilds, including the two main categories of merchant guilds and craft guilds but also the frith guild and religious guild. Guilds arose beginning in the High Middle Ages as craftsmen united to protect their common interests.

Common types of glazing that are used in architectural applications include clear and tinted float glass, tempered glass, and laminated glass as well as a variety of coated glasses, all of which can be glazed singly or as double, or even triple, glazing units.
