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.

Glass and fitting options

New sealed units made to measure
Existing frames, handles and locks kept
Security tape on externally beaded frames
Obscure and decorative glass matched where possible
Laminated inner pane for security
Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers

Things to decide before you order

Unit thickness

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

Laminated or standard

A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.

Rules that apply 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 Sudbury: questions

Can you survey in Sudbury and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Sudbury, Colchester and Haverhill are booked around installer availability.

Do I need a new window frame?

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

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.
