Misted and blown glass units in County Durham

If the glass at your County Durham premises looks foggy and will not wipe clean, the seal has probably failed and the unit needs replacing.

Replacing only the sealed unit keeps your County Durham frame in place, so the rest of your frontage stays exactly as it is. Landlords with several misted units in County Durham or across the North East can have them measured together, rather than one at a time.

Common questions

Do you cover all of County Durham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.

How long does a replacement sealed unit take?

Sealed units are made to measure, so the wait is typically counted in weeks rather than days, depending on size and glass type. You get the expected lead time alongside your price, and the old unit stays in place until the new one is ready to fit.

Is a misted unit still insulating?

A misted unit usually insulates less well, because gas has escaped and damp air has replaced it. The glass is still a barrier, so it is rarely an emergency. It does look poor, and moisture can leave permanent marks on the inner faces.

Will a new unit match the others in my shopfront?

Usually, if we match the glass type, coatings and spacer colour. A new unit can look slightly different beside old panes, particularly if those have a tint. We check this before ordering, and can replace adjoining units together if you prefer.
