Fast, Affordable, and Professional: Your Guide to Replacing a Broken Double Glazed Unit with Glass Squad

A cracked or 'blown' (misted) double glazed unit is more than just an eyesore; it's a major cause of heat loss, increased energy bills, and reduced home security. When disaster strikes, you need a solution that is fast, cost-effective, and professionally executed.

The good news? You don't need to replace the entire window frame! You just need to replace the Sealed Glazed Unit (SGU), and that's exactly where Glass Squad steps in, providing expert service across the UK.

Why You Must Act Quickly

A broken or misted unit is a failed unit. The inert gas (usually Argon) that provides the superior thermal insulation has escaped, and moist air has seeped into the cavity. This leads to:

1. Massive Heat Loss: Your home's energy efficiency plummets, driving up heating costs.

2. Misting/Condensation: Permanent fogging between the glass panes ruins your view and aesthetics.

3. Security Risk: Compromised glass is significantly weaker and poses a safety hazard.

For a fast, reliable, and cost-efficient replacement, look no further than the glass experts at Glass Squad. Visit glasssquad.co.uk today to start your repair journey.

The Glass Squad Method: Fast & Affordable Replacement

Replacing a failed sealed unit is significantly cheaper and less disruptive than replacing the entire window frame. Here is the streamlined process that makes Glass Squad the UK's go-to specialist:

Step 1: Accurate Measurement is Key (The Glass Squad Promise)

The most crucial step is getting precise measurements for the new unit. An incorrect measurement means delays and extra costs.

• The DIY Method: You can measure the width, height, and crucially, the total thickness of the existing unit.

• The Pro-Tip: Find the Unit ID Code printed on the metal spacer bar inside the unit (e.g., 4/16Ar/4Low-E). This code tells your supplier everything they need to know about glass thickness, cavity size, and energy efficiency features.

• The Easiest Option: Contact Glass Squad at glasssquad.co.uk. Their team provides accurate surveys, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Step 2: Ordering Your Replacement Unit

Once the precise measurements are confirmed, your new Sealed Glazed Unit (SGU) is manufactured to order.

Step 3: Fast and Professional Fitting

The physical installation is surprisingly fast—often taking less than an hour per standard unit.

The Glass Squad professional will carefully remove the internal glazing beads (strips of material holding the glass in place), take out the old unit, set the new unit securely using glazing packers, and replace the beads, finishing with a perfect seal.

Upgrade for Long-Term Savings

A broken unit presents an opportunity to upgrade your home’s performance for a marginal extra cost. When you order your replacement from Glass Squad (glasssquad.co.uk), consider:

1. Energy Efficiency Upgrade: If your old unit was standard double glazing, upgrade to a modern Low-E (low emissivity) glass filled with Argon gas for superior insulation and reduced heating bills.

2. Security Enhancement: Replace standard glass with Toughened (Tempered) or Laminated glass, especially for doors or large panes, to meet current building regulations and improve security.

Don't let a cracked or misted window compromise your home’s comfort or security. Trust the UK experts in glass replacement.
