Replacing just the glass in blown windows

happenstance

A few of my windows are blown. Condensation in the middle and marks where the water has run down.

I want to just order the glass and replace it myself, seems like an easy enough job.

I can't find anywhere that sells just the glass, can anyone recommend?

Your local glass merchants / glaziers will do itfor you. Remember though that they come in different thicknesses so be sure to order the correct one.

have a play with an easy one to see if you can take it out . once out (normally simple but sometimes have anti theft blockes etc .) What type of frames are they or put a pic up . Pressure gaskets or double sided tape etc . One out measure the thickness of the glass units . remember what needs to be toughened and learn what now needs to be toughened . Even if your planning to fit them yourself it maybe a good idea to get your local glass/glazing or window firm to measure for you .


Edit ; if your just changing a few . It depends when and what is put in against what your now ordering there is a slight different tint between argon/k glass/ planitherm/planebella/ standard etc .

Theres a few companies on ebay that do the windows on their own and there are quite a few videos on youtube that will show you how to remove and replace the windows

If by "the glass" you mean the double glazed units then most glass companies will sell you these, but as already stated you would need to know the thickness of the glass and the size of spacer bar in between, eg 2x4mm with 12mm spacer bar. Depending on where the units are the glass may also need to be safety glass - even if it currently isnt as regs change all the time.

Fitting new panels is not that expensive, I would get a couple of local glazing company's to measure up and give you quotes to supply and fit.
