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.
What goes into misted unit replacement with laminated glass
- Old units removed and disposed of
- Obscure and decorative glass matched where possible
- Existing frames, handles and locks kept
- Laminated inner pane for security
- Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers
- Toughened panes where safety glass is required

- Rented homes with a few failed units
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
- Door glass that has gone cloudy
Questions we will ask at the survey
Energy specification
New low-E and argon units are usually warmer than the ones they replace.
Laminated or standard
A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.
Building regulations and safety in 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.
Security rules for new homes
Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Banbury: questions
Can you survey in Banbury and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Banbury, Bicester and Daventry are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
