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.

Choices you can make

New sealed units made to measure
Old units removed and disposed of
Security tape on externally beaded frames
Laminated inner pane for security
Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers
Existing frames, handles and locks kept

Replace the frame instead

If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.

Energy specification

New low-E and argon units are usually warmer than the ones they replace.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Barnard Castle: questions

Which areas near Barnard Castle do you cover?

We can arrange work in Barnard Castle and in nearby Bishop Auckland (12 miles), Darlington (15 miles) and Newton Aycliffe (15 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Do I need a new window frame?

No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed unit.

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.

Will the new unit match the others?

We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
