Other forms: glaziers
A glazier is the tradesman who fits glass into frames. Call a glazier, the glazier came, a glazier's putty.
The trade changed entirely with double glazing, since a modern unit is sealed in a factory and fitted whole rather than cut and puttied on site. Emergency glaziers are the ones who board up a broken window at night.
