Professional scrapers

Film removal, adhesive residue, labels, deposits: scrapers designed to clean glass without scratching it.

An old film to remove, embedded adhesive residues, stubborn stickers, dried deposits on a construction site: the scraper handles it all in just a few passes. Our scrapers are designed for daily glass work. Sharp blades, ergonomic handles, multiple widths depending on the surface to be treated. The essential tool for every installer and glazier.

The scraper: the simplest and most essential tool

Scraping properly is a technique

A poorly used scraper will scratch glass. A properly used scraper leaves it spotless. The difference comes down to three things: the blade must be new, the surface must be wet, and the working angle must be shallow. A new blade ensures the edge glides instead of digging in. A wet surface lubricates the contact and prevents micro-particles from scratching. A shallow angle ensures the blade lifts residues instead of cutting into the glass.

With these three conditions met, the scraper is perfectly safe on standard glass, tempered glass, laminated glass, and most treated glazing. It is a skill learned early in a career and quickly becomes second nature after a few jobs.

Multiple formats for multiple uses

The wide scraper, 10 to 15 cm, is the productivity tool. It covers a large strip with each pass and allows fast treatment of large flat surfaces. Removing an old film from a 3-meter window, cleaning façade glazing after renovation: the wide scraper gets the job done in minimal passes.

The narrow scraper, 3 to 5 cm, is the precision tool. It reaches corners of frames, along seals, and into tight spots that the wide scraper cannot access. It is the finishing tool used after the main work to handle the last residues in confined areas.

The long-handled scraper allows you to work standing up on high glass surfaces without a ladder and without straining your back. On façades accessible from the inside, it provides a comfortable working angle and even pressure across the entire surface.

Blades: the consumable not to overlook

A scraper blade wears out. Not as quickly as a utility knife blade, but enough to affect work quality after a few square meters of intensive scraping. A dull blade forces the user to apply more pressure, increasing the risk of scratching and causing wrist fatigue.

Our replacement blades are made of hardened steel for longer-lasting sharpness. They can be replaced without tools on most of our scrapers: a click, the blade comes out, you insert a new one, and you're back to work. Keeping a box of spare blades in your toolbox ensures you always work with an efficient tool.

What you can scrape and what you should not

The scraper is designed for glass. It can also be used on stainless steel, tiles, and other hard, uncoated surfaces. However, it should never be used on plastic, polycarbonate, Plexiglas, or painted surfaces: the blade will scratch these materials instantly.

On glazing with special coatings such as self-cleaning, hydrophobic, or anti-reflective treatments, a test in an inconspicuous area is recommended before scraping the entire surface. Some coatings resist scraping, others do not. Better to check than to deal with a scratch.
