Misted Unit Replacement

Replace foggy, condensation-filled double glazing without replacing the whole window

Coverage: UK-wide
Warranty: 10 years insurance-backed
Accreditation: FENSA registered

Misted or 'blown' double glazing happens when the seal between the two panes fails, letting moisture into the sealed unit cavity. The trapped moisture condenses and looks like permanent fogging. The good news: in most cases you don't need to replace the whole window — just the failed sealed unit inside the existing frame. S&K Glazing replaces misted units across the UK, typically same week, often with no scaffolding required.

FAQs

Misted Unit Replacement questions, answered

No — the condensation is between the panes inside a sealed cavity. Once the seal fails, the only permanent fix is unit replacement. Drilling and drying treatments are not durable solutions.
Usually no — if the frame is sound (which is normally the case unless it's 30+ years old) we replace only the sealed unit inside it.
Typical misted unit replacement: £80-£180 per window depending on size and glass spec. Compared to £400-£900 for full window replacement.
Survey within 48 hours, manufacture 3-5 working days, installation in 20-30 minutes per window. Most jobs complete within a week from first call.
Often worth it — same labour cost. You can upgrade from old aluminium-spacer double glazing to warm-edge, low-E, argon-filled units that perform 30-40% better.
