When changing your home's windows you don't necessarily have to complete the entire home. Occasionally you may just need to have a single window replaced, probably due to a busted pane or for upgrading to double glazing.
It's common for people to change simply one double glazed window. One reason that individuals want to change one window is that the closed unit inside has stopped working. You'll understand if this has happened because you'll have the ability to see condensation on the within glass, which obtains frustrating due to the fact that you can not wipe it away. In this instance, you can choose to merely replace the covered device or the entire structure, which you might wish to do if it's looking past its finest.
When you're changing simply one double glazed window, if you know the brand of your present windows you could ask your installer if they can source the same ones. This will aid to keep them looking as similar as possible, although if your existing windows are older you may observe some discolouration on the exterior compared to the brand-new one, and locks and flow vents might look different.
Changing simply one double glazed window shouldn't take a qualified window fitter long, and might cost just ₤ 300. It's worth remembering that all substitute windows need to be accredited that they have actually been installed to satisfy building regulations, so you'll need to relate to your local building control officer that will come as well as examine the work then provide a certification. If you ask an installer that is registered with a self-certification scheme (like FENSA, CERTAS) to fit the window for you, they can release the certification themselves when they have actually completed the job.

Unfortunately, you can’t fix the glass on one side of a double glazed window. That’s because they’re sealed units – once one pane of glass is broken, that will break the seal and its thermal insulation properties will be lost.
The good news is that if your window frame is still looking great, there’s no need to replace that. You can simply replace the glass in the window, which will cost much less. You can look to spend around £250 on a sealed unit, whereas a whole replacement single window may cost up to £600.
When an installer comes to replace the glass in your double glazed window, they will survey the inside and outside of your home around the window, then move any furniture by the window so they’ve got access. They should then pop a dust sheet down to stop any debris from getting on your floor.
Then, the installer will carefully remove the beads from the frame. They will then lift the glass out of the frame and put it somewhere safe before cleaning out all of the dust and any debris that has found its way into the frame. Using spacers at the bottom of the frame, the installer will make sure that the sealed unit is square in the frame to get a good fit. Once they’re happy, they will replace the beading and make sure it looks perfect before cleaning up their tools.
You could have a go at replacing the glass on a double glazed window yourself, but it’s not recommended. Leave it to the professionals who will know exactly what to do and will be able to do it quickly and safely.
It depends on a few factors whether a new double glazed window will look different to existing ones. If your existing windows are very old, perhaps 10 years or more, then it’s likely that there will be some small differences.
The first thing to remember is that your double glazing is exposed to the elements as soon as it’s installed. So over time, unless you’re very good at cleaning and maintaining your windows, they’re likely to look a bit dirty. Window frames that are south-facing may also become slightly discoloured from the sun, so if you install a new window right next to it you might notice a difference.
Also, there have been lots of technical advances in windows over the years. If your existing windows are significantly older, you might notice a difference in the handles on openers, and if your existing windows were installed before 2010 they might not have trickle vents, which is an extra strip on the inside of your window to keep air flowing through your home. While it’s not a legal requirement for replacement windows to have trickle vents if the original one didn’t, it’s a good idea to have them installed as they help prevent condensation and mould.
The only truly noticeably different elements to a new double glazed window compared with existing ones are likely to be on the inside, which might not be a problem for you if you only have one window in a room. However, if you know the brand of your existing windows, you can ask your window installer if they can source the same ones. Even if they’ve been updated slightly, the difference should be minimal.
