What does a glazier do?
A glazier handles the processing, cutting and fitting of glass — installing panes in windows and doors, mounting mirrors, shower enclosures, glazing and glass facades. Experienced tradespeople work with tempered glass, stained glass and large glazed structures. The work requires precision, caution and the ability to operate modern glass-processing machines.
What affects earnings?
- Specialisation — facades, tempered glass and stained glass pay more than simple glazing.
- Work at height and on large glazing raises the rates.
- Form of work — self-employment gives higher income than employment.
- Precision and operation of glass-processing machines are an advantage.
Regional and experience-based differences
Higher rates are found in large cities, where modern buildings with large glazing are constructed. An entry-level glazier earns 4806–5000 PLN, an experienced one 5100–7000 PLN, and a specialist or foreman as much as 7000–8500 PLN gross per month.
