I have a double glazed side window (opener) that has a crack running down the outside glass, so I need to replace the unit. Is this easy to do?
I've always replaced any ordinary broken windows in the past, but I've never tried double glazing.
I was told that the simplest way was to remove the glazed unit to get the measurements, then take go to somewhere that does this sort of thing (glaziers?) to get a new unit made up.
I assume that I have to remove the wedge seals (I forget the correct term) from around the unit. I also assume that they are removed from the inside (indoors side) and not the outside. How would I tell?
As a separate issue, does anybody have any idea of the cost of the replacement unit? The glass measures approx. 74 x 45mm and a bit more will need to be added on for the edges of the unit. It is a standard unit with standard clear glass.
Thanks
Roger
