The difference between glass and glazing primarily lies in their definitions and functions.
Glass refers to the material itself, which is 'a hard, brittle substance, typically transparent or translucent, made by fusing sand with soda and lime'[1]. It is an amorphous solid that can be used in various applications, such as making windows or drinking containers.
On the other hand, glazing specifically refers to the installation of glass in window frames, as well as the work done by a glazier. Glazing can involve one or more sheets of glass; for example, 'one sheet of glass is a single glazed window, two glass panels create a double glazed window'[2].
In essence, glass is the material itself, while glazing describes the process of fitting or sealing this material into window structures.
