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
- Laminated inner pane for security
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Existing frames, handles and locks kept
- Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers
- Toughened panes where safety glass is required
- Old units removed and disposed of

What the rules say in Northern Ireland
Safety glass in critical locations
In Northern Ireland, safety glazing is covered by Part V of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with guidance in Technical Booklet V. It follows a critical-location approach similar to Great Britain, covering glazing in and beside doors and at low level. Laminated or toughened safety glass is the usual answer; building control at the council can confirm the detail.
Security rules for new homes
If you are building a new home in Northern Ireland, ask the council's building control service which security requirements apply. In existing homes nothing obliges you to upgrade glass, but laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and in windows beside them is a common benchmark taken from guidance in Great Britain.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Armagh: questions
Do you cover Portadown as well as Armagh?
Yes. As well as Armagh, we can arrange surveys in nearby Portadown, Dungannon and Craigavon. Dates depend on installer availability.
Do I need a new window frame?
No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed unit.
Will the new unit match the others?
We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
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.
