Failed Double Glazing Unit

A sealed double or triple glazing unit that has lost its hermetic seal, causing condensation or misting between the panes. The failed unit can usually be removed from the existing frame and replaced with a new sealed unit without changing the surrounding frame, provided the frame is in good condition. Replacement units typically cost £80–£250 per window.
