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.
Glass and fitting options
- Old units removed and disposed of
- Obscure and decorative glass matched where possible
- Laminated inner pane for security
- Existing frames, handles and locks kept
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers

Before the glass is ordered
Replace the frame instead
If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.
Laminated or standard
A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.
Glazing rules 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.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Arbroath: questions
Can you survey in Arbroath and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Arbroath, Montrose and Forfar are booked around 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.
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.
