Replacing glass pane in door: what are glazier's points called in French?

[tenniswitch]

Hi, all,

I need to replace a pane of glass in the door of what I euphemistically call my potting room.  Fortunately it doesn't have to look great as I have never done this before.  I downloaded some instructions from an English-language website and they refer to glazier's points.  Are those just tiny little nails?  Do they have a special name in French?

Any help and advice will be appreciated.

I thought they were called sprigs in English, but I have used small nails myself before.

Hi,

Glazier's points, sprigs or brads = pointe vitrier. Glazing bead/fillet = parclose.  Glazing bar = fer a vitrage.

Hope that helps.

Regards

Paul
