What to think about first

Energy specification

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

Unit thickness

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

Consents and safety: 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 North Yorkshire: questions

Which towns in North Yorkshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in North Yorkshire, including York, Middlesbrough, Harrogate, Scarborough and Redcar, and in other towns across the area.

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.

Will the new unit match the others?

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

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.
