Misted and blown glass units in Greater Manchester

Door and low-level units in Greater Manchester or elsewhere in the North West must keep the right safety glass, so we check the position before ordering any replacement.

Misted double-glazed shop window with a failed seal

If the glass at your Greater Manchester 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 Greater Manchester frame in place, so the rest of your frontage stays exactly as it is.

What do we fix in Greater Manchester?

Blocked frame drainageWater sitting in the glazing pocket attacks the edge seal. Clearing the drainage path helps the new unit last.
Better glass in the same frameA replacement unit can often include solar control or low-emissivity glass at the same overall thickness.
Door and side panel unitsThese sit in critical locations, so the replacement is built with the right safety glass on each side.

How much does it cost in Greater Manchester?

As a guide, allow £165 to £695 ex VAT per sealed unit. Water sitting in the frame often causes the failure, so we check the drainage at premises in Greater Manchester and the North West when fitting a new unit. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Bury.

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.

Could a misted unit still be under warranty?

It could be, if the unit is recent. Manufacturers' warranties cover glass units, so look for a maker's name or date on the spacer bar and check your paperwork. Our 10-year guarantee covers workmanship only, and applies to work we have carried out.

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.
