What Are Sealed Glass Units?
A sealed glass unit (also called a double glazed unit or IGU – insulated glass unit) is the glass section of your window made up of two or more panes separated by a spacer bar and sealed around the edges. Over time, these units can fail, allowing moisture to enter and causing condensation between the panes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you remove scratches off glass?
Light scratches on glass can often be reduced or removed with a few DIY methods. A common solution is to use glass polishing compounds or cerium oxide paste, gently buffed with a soft cloth in circular motions. Some people also use non-abrasive toothpaste or baking soda paste for very fine marks. For deeper scratches, however, professional glass polishing or replacement of the sealed glass unit may be necessary to restore clarity. Always test a small area first to avoid further damage, and consider expert help if the scratch is severe or affects double glazed windows.
Why has my window glass gone misty?
This is usually a sign that the sealed unit in your double-glazed window has failed.
A sealed unit consists of two panes of glass with a gap filled with air or gas for insulation. Over time, the seal around the glass can deteriorate, allowing moisture to enter. This causes condensation or a foggy appearance between the panes.
Solution:
If the mist is inside the sealed unit, the only permanent fix is to replace the sealed unit. Surface condensation on the outside or inside of the glass can usually be resolved by improving ventilation or using a dehumidifier.
Do I need to replace the whole window frame?
Most broken window issues can be solved by replacing just the glass or the sealed unit, leaving the frame intact.
When a full frame replacement may be necessary:
- The frame is damaged, warped, or rotten.
- The window doesn’t close or seal properly anymore.
- You’re upgrading to more energy-efficient windows.
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit is faster, cheaper, and less disruptive than replacing the whole window. Our professional glaziers can inspect your window, assess the damage, and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
How much does window glass replacement cost?
The cost of window glass replacement depends on the window size, type of glass (standard, toughened, or energy-efficient), and number of units being replaced. Prices can start from around £50–£150 for a single pane but vary based on specification and installation requirements. For an accurate, no-obligation quote, our team can assess your property and provide tailored pricing.
What type of glass is available?
We supply all common specifications of glass, including double and triple glazing, toughened, laminated, acoustic, tinted and energy-efficient glass. We also supply a decorative range of glazing which you can chose from in this brochure.
How long does it take to replace a sealed unit?
Usually 1 to 3 hours per window. Sealed units, or insulated glass unit (IGU), is the double-glass part of your window that keeps your home insulated and energy-efficient. The time needed depends on factors like window type, frame condition, number of units, and accessibility. Standard windows on the ground floor are quickest, while large or hard-to-reach windows may take longer.
Replacement involves:
- Inspecting the window and frame.
- Carefully removing the old sealed unit.
- Installing and sealing the new unit.
- Re-fitting trims and cleaning the window.
Always hire a professional glazier. Poor installation can cause drafts, condensation, or energy loss.
