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.

Fitting in Musselburgh and nearby

This glazing suits:
- Door glass that has gone cloudy
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
- Rented homes with a few failed units
- Windows with condensation between the panes
Questions we will ask at the survey
Laminated or standard
A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.
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.
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 Musselburgh: questions
Do you cover Dalkeith as well as Musselburgh?
Yes. As well as Musselburgh, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dalkeith, Edinburgh and Penicuik. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
