Misted and blown glass units Tyne and Wear

Water sitting in the frame often causes the failure, so we check the drainage at premises in Tyne and Wear and the North East when fitting a new unit. Door and low-level units in Tyne and Wear or elsewhere in the North East must keep the right safety glass, so we check the position before ordering any replacement.

What do we fix in Tyne and Wear?

Blocked frame drainageWater sitting in the glazing pocket attacks the edge seal. Clearing the drainage path helps the new unit last.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.

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.

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.

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.
