About Our Workwear Range

Every item in this collection is selected for the specific demands of window and door installation. Glazing work means handling sharp edges, lifting heavy frames, kneeling on hard surfaces, and working through all weather conditions.

We stock cut-resistant gloves rated for glass and trim handling, safety boots with composite toe caps and anti-fatigue soles, kneepad work trousers with stretch panels for mobility, and weatherproof jackets that keep you dry without restricting movement.

All workwear is sourced from trusted trade brands including Snickers, Albatros, and Adept — designed for daily professional use, not weekend DIY.

How to Choose the Right Workwear

Gloves — For frame and trim handling, choose cut-resistant gloves (Level B or above). For cold weather, thermal-lined gloves with touchscreen compatibility let you use your phone without removing them. Microfoam palm coatings give the best grip on glass and uPVC.

Boots — Look for S3-rated safety boots with composite toe caps (lighter than steel), anti-slip soles, and water resistance. Trainer-style boots reduce fatigue on long installs.

Trousers — Stretch-fit trousers with built-in kneepad pockets are essential for glazing. Ripstop fabric resists tearing on rough surfaces. Multiple tool pockets keep fixings to hand.

Jackets — Softshell jackets give wind and water protection with breathability. For winter, insulated jackets with fleece lining keep you warm without bulk. High-visibility options are required for roadside and commercial site work.

Trade Tip

Buy gloves in bulk packs of 10 — they wear out fast on site and having spares in the van saves time and keeps your crew protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gloves are best for handling glass and uPVC frames?

Cut-resistant gloves rated Level B or above provide the best protection when handling sharp edges on glass, trims and frame profiles. Our Adept range includes palm-coated options that give excellent grip on smooth surfaces like uPVC and glass.

Do I need S3 rated safety boots for window installation?

S3 boots offer water resistance, penetration protection, and energy-absorbing heels — all useful on construction sites. For indoor-only residential work, S1P may be sufficient. For site work and new builds, S3 is the safer choice and often required by site regulations.

What size gloves should I order?

Glove sizes run from 7 (Small) to 11 (XXL). Size 9 (Large) and 10 (XL) are the most common for trade use. If you are between sizes, go up — a slightly loose glove is better than one that restricts movement.

Are these workwear items suitable for all seasons?

Yes. The range includes lightweight breathable options for summer (palm-coated gloves, trainer-style boots, softshell jackets) and insulated thermal options for winter (thermal gloves, lined boots, padded jackets).
