seal blown on double glazed windows?

...is it possible to remove the panes and repair the seals, or is it better just to replace the entire UPVC window?

If the window has blown and the condensation has stained the inner glass white, can it be repaired or has it gone too far?
I was told by one person (in the pub!) that the pain can be split, wiped and then resealed?
Its this correct?
Thanks

I presume that you mean the sealing gasket to the actual glass glazed unit is blown rather than the frame gasket.

The glazed unit can be removed and it can be re-sealed, but I would reccomend leaving removing the glazing unit to someone who knows that they are doing.

yes you can replace gasket seals and it will be a fraction of cost rather than replace with new window,firstly does your gasket come out of window without taking panes out,try and pull it out with a screwdiver,if it comes out buy some wedge gasket the same size and replace,if it dosnt come out its e gasket and you will have to take panes out to replace.hope this helps
