Broken Inside Pane on Double Glazed Window

[diy_darren]

I have a 40cm x 80cm double glazed window at the bottom of the stairs which the bottom of my chair took a liking to! It's broken the inside pane with a 5cm round hole and cracking from hole to edge.

Is it possible to replace just the broken section or does the whole unit have to be replaced? Don't have many details about the double glazed windows themselves apart from they are about 20 years old.

sorry darren

the whole unit needs replacing

if the window is an opener measure the thickness of the frame
measure the distance between between glass and frame both sides and theres you thickness

I had a feeling that was the answer

What's involved then? A glazing company creating a unit of the right size and 30 mins at the house to fit it? What do they put inbetween the panes, an inert gas? Hundred quid perhaps?

Whatever the cost, it's an expensive way to learn to always take your swivel chair apart and carry it up the stairs in two trips!

if its an opener unscrew the wondow in the frame and let them do it all
garenteed to fit then
