I need to replace a couple of misted up double glazing units - a few questions:
Any recommended source for the replacements? It's probably just a coincidence, but the blown units aren't kitemarked and have a black tape-like spacer bar. Most of the remaining panels are kitemarked and have sliver aluminium looking spacer bards.. I can check with local glazers but any online recommendations welcome.
I'd like to measure them up before taking them out so I can get the new ones made up. Using a metal rule and digital calipers I've worked out that the panel thickness is 27mm. This corresponds to a spacer bar of 19mm (assuming
4mm glass - I don't think it's laminated, not that that matters for measurement), but they only seem to come in 18mm and 20mm. Which should I go for?Also, can anyone recommend a tool to remove the trim pieces? I've used a filler knife and rubber mallet in the past - which worked, but did damage the trim slightly. I can see the proper tools on Amazon etc. - just wondering if anyone has a recommendation.
