About the service

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.

Working in Newport

Newport's iron-and-steel heritage, Victorian terraces, and modern commercial centre around Friars Walk drive demand for residential and commercial glazing across NP10-NP20. Industrial-heritage commercial work and large-volume re-glazing on the post-war estates feature in our South Wales workload.

For window-replacement work in Newport, the property mix across Wales ranges from period stock through to modern new-build, so we specify the thermal solution per property — A++ rated double-glazed sealed units for standard upgrades (U-value 1.4 W/m²K), A-rated solar-control glazing for south-facing elevations, and triple-glazed argon-filled builds achieving 0.8 W/m²K for owners targeting near-Passivhaus performance. Most commonly we're working across NP10 and NP20 postcodes.

Our process

How we deliver in Newport

01

Free measure-up

We visit, measure the failed unit, identify the glass thickness and any obscure pattern, and quote a fixed price.

02

Manufacture

Standard clear units: 3-5 working days. Obscure or patterned glass: 5-10 days.

03

Same-day swap

Most misted units are swapped in 20-30 minutes per window. A full house of 8-10 windows is typically completed in a single morning.

FAQs

Common questions

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.
