fixing window holes...

right, so in the course of last night, some prat has managed to shoot my double glazing windows twice, not putting holes in them, but shattering the glass and generally screwing up the pane of glass facing outside.
my question is, does the whole window itself now need to be replaced, or does just the broken pane need to be changed?

and quick replies would be helpful, because i have a nasty suspicion i may have to call the glazers before the 'rents get home

are they double or single paned windows?

I don't know what you'll have to do if they're double paned but if you have single paned glass it shouldn't be too hard of a fix. I've changed out single paned glass myself and it's fairly easy although if I had the money I'd just call someone to do it for me...

(edit) oh...you said double glazing. perhaps that means double paned on your side of the pond.

Not sure what you mean by double glazing. If it is a sealed assembly with an inner and outer pane, called thermopane or an IGU for 'insulated glass unit' replacement is best handled by a glazier.

If it is single glazing in a storm sash over the single glazed prime window, replacement isn't a terrible DIY job, as observed above.
