Things to decide before you order

Unit thickness

We match the overall thickness to your frame so the beads fit properly.

Energy specification

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

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

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.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Lancaster: questions

Which areas near Lancaster do you cover?

We can arrange work in Lancaster and in nearby Morecambe (3 miles), Fleetwood (12 miles) and Thornton-Cleveleys (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.

Will the new unit match the others?

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

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.
