Description
Window Glazing Points are small metal fasteners designed to hold glass and plastic sheets securely in place during window installation or repair. These push points make it easier to apply glazing compounds and caulking by keeping the pane positioned correctly while you work. Simply push them into the window frame to hold glass or acrylic sheets firmly against the frame before sealing.
ShapesPlastics' glazing points are essential for proper window installation, ensuring glass and plastic glazing materials stay in position while putty or sealant cures. The triangular design grips firmly into wood frames and provides secure hold without cracking the glazing material. Each pack contains approximately 60 glazing points - enough for 2-3 standard residential windows. Perfect for DIY window repairs, replacing broken panes, installing acrylic or polycarbonate glazing, or restoring historic windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many windows can I do with one pack?
Each pack contains approximately 60 glazing points. A typical window requires 2-3 points per foot of frame perimeter. For standard residential windows (approximately 10 feet of perimeter each), one pack will cover 2-3 average-sized windows. For smaller windows or panes, you can complete 4-5 installations.
How do I install glazing points?
Place the glass or acrylic sheet in the frame opening against the glazing bed (putty base). Position a glazing point flat against the pane with the point facing the frame. Using a putty knife or glazing point driver, push the point into the wood frame until it's flush with the glass surface. Space points every 4-6 inches around the perimeter for secure hold.
Can I use these with acrylic or polycarbonate sheets?
Yes, glazing points work well with acrylic and polycarbonate sheets in addition to glass. They're ideal for holding plastic glazing materials in place during installation. The triangular design distributes pressure evenly, reducing the risk of cracking plastic sheets. Use the same installation method as with glass.
What tool do I need to install glazing points?
A putty knife works well for most installations - place it flat against the glazing point and push firmly into the wood frame. For easier installation, especially when doing multiple windows, a glazing point driver tool makes the job faster and reduces hand fatigue. You can also use a flat screwdriver in a pinch.
