It's a bit complicated, both the reseller AND the fitter have since gone bust. The manufacturer still exists and the warranty they say they provide doesn't cover this. I'll speak to FENSA though Jam Lady Joined: 28 Dec 2006 Posts: 1925 Location: New Jersey, USA Posted: Tue Dec 01, 15 7:02 pm    Post subject:      One thing to find out is the reason for the shattering, and getting all the remaining panes pressure tested. We had an issue with the inner / house side pane of a double glazed window shattering. Andersen Windows here in the USA. In chatting with the helpful woman at customer service (originally she offered to send replacement window but we'd pay installation costs) she casually asked if we had any windows that showed an oval haze-like pattern between the two panes of glass in cold weather. Oh yes, I said, several. Turns out that in the year these particular windows were manufactured the company used a noble gas to fill between the panes, which over time had leaked out. The reduction in pressure lead to the shattered glass as the glass bowed inward. We are second owners of the house. No matter. There was sufficient warranty, ten years I think. And it covered the glass for materials and labor. Only thing not covered was labor to remove and reinstall new skylights. Company sent a couple of men around to pressure test all the windows. And we have many, many windows. Then they replaced all the defective ones. Many, many of them. Good luck tahir.
