Re: Standards for beading on double glazed windows? 15Feb 17, 2009 6:29 pm ed @ EcoClassic One more thing - I suppose he replaced the glass with the same thickness IGU (?) - he should have done, then he should have replaced the beads with exactly the same material he removed.

Ed I don't know the measurements of the glass off the top of my head - I'll have to break out the measuring tape when I get home... on the quote it says "All of the supplied glass is to satify the requirements of the Australian Standard for Glazing AS 1288-2006." I assume he replaced the glass with the same thickness, although the house was built 15 or so years ago so manufacturing standards may have changed since then? I know that our back sliding door now has much heavier glass in it (from an unrelated replacement years ago) because O'Briens said that nobody makes the old, thinner glass anymore. I will definitely ask to see the standard - that's a great tip, Ed - thanks! If he can show me a regulation that backs up his argument, then I'm happy to concede defeat!
