I was about to get some double glazed panes replaced since they have
developed condensation.
A friend has pointed me at a firm called Crystalclear.
This firm claims to be able to repair such windows at some fraction of
the cost of replacement.

Any direct experiences, please?

I think any glazier will take the unit apart, clean up
the glass (condensation inside eventually leaves dirty
deposits), and fit new dessicant spacers and tape.

You save the cost of new glass, at the expense of cleaning
it. If it's toughened and/or K-glass, that's probably
going to be worth it.

Glazier is required to check that the glass meets current
standards for safety (which might mean you can't reuse
existing glass), but it doesn't need to meet current
standards for efficiency, only those in place when it was
installed.


?? shurely cheaper to just replace the whole shebangg (aka sealed
unit) :- labour costs never mind others?
