Who is a "glazier"?

A glazier is a skilled worker who installs and repairs glass in windows, doors, and other structures. They cut glass to fit specific sizes, install it securely, and may also work on stained glass or decorative glass projects. Glaziers need to handle glass carefully to avoid breaking it and make sure it fits properly. Their work is important in both construction and renovation, making buildings have functional and appealing glass structures.
