Whether you’re fixing a cracked pane or sealing out a draft, having the right window glazing supplies is key to long-lasting repair. At Ace Hardware, we make it easy to find what you might need in one convenient trip, from glazier points to essential glazing tools. With quality products and helpful advice, we’re here to help you get the job done right.
Secure Your Glass with Points and Channels
The first step to a secure window pane is setting the glass correctly with the right hardware. These essential items hold the glass firmly in place and help ensure a professional result.
Glazier, Push and Framer's Points
These small but mighty items hold your glass pane securely in the window frame before you apply any putty or sealant.
- Glazier points are installed with a glazing tool for a solid fit.
- Push points are easy to use and can be pressed in by hand or with a putty knife.
- Framer's points are also a great option for providing a rigid hold for your glass.
Vinyl Glazing Channels
For many modern vinyl or aluminum windows, vinyl glazing channels are the key to a great seal. These U-shaped strips fit around the edge of the glass, creating a snug and weatherproof cushion inside the window frame. They are a simple and effective way to secure glass in compatible windows.
Find the Right Glazing Tools and Tracks
We have the specialty tools and hardware to help you finish your project and ensure your window operates smoothly for years to come.
Glazing Tools
A multi-use glazing tool is a smart addition to your toolbox. This handy tool is specifically designed to help with multiple steps of a glazing project. You can use its different edges to apply and smooth putty to a clean angle, and it can be used to install or remove glazier points.
Casement Window Tracks
If your casement window is difficult to open or close, a worn-out track might be the issue. The track is what guides the window and allows it to operate smoothly. Replacing a damaged or corroded casement window track is a simple repair that can make an old window feel new again.

A successful window glazing project often requires more than just points and putty. We have different tools you might need for every step.
