Getting the right glass for your building
Unit thickness
We match the overall thickness to your frame so the beads fit properly.
Replace the frame instead
If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.
What the rules say in Northern Ireland
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.
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 Newry: questions
Which areas near Newry do you cover?
We can arrange work in Newry and in nearby Banbridge (12 miles), Armagh (17 miles) and Portadown (18 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Why is there condensation between my window panes?
The seal around the unit has failed, letting damp air into the gap. The only lasting fix is a new unit.
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.
Do I need a new window frame?
No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed unit.
