Misted unit replacement means swapping a double-glazed unit whose seal has failed, so moisture has got between the panes, for a new sealed unit. Doing it with a laminated pane turns a routine repair into a security upgrade for little extra cost.
What you can specify
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Obscure and decorative glass matched where possible

Argyll and Bute is mainly coast and islands, centred on Oban, Dunoon, Campbeltown and Helensburgh, with many island homes and businesses reached only by ferry.
This glazing suits:
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
- Homes where frames are sound but glass is tired
- Rented homes with a few failed units
- Door glass that has gone cloudy
Questions we will ask at the survey
Replace the frame instead
If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.
Unit thickness
We match the overall thickness to your frame so the beads fit properly.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Helensburgh: questions
Do you cover Greenock as well as Helensburgh?
Yes. As well as Helensburgh, we can arrange surveys in nearby Greenock, Dunoon and Clydebank. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can misted glass be repaired instead of replaced?
Some services drill and dry units, but the seal stays broken and insulation is not restored. A new unit is the reliable fix.
Does replacing a unit need building regulations approval?
Replacing glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair rather than new building work, across the UK. Replacing the whole window is different and is controlled.
Will the new unit match the others?
We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
