Windows & Door fitting

Trickle vents on double glazed units.

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.48 PM

Thanks for the reply forgot to say the vents are placed in bar under the top window which opens. Directly under handle and security lock. Advice welcomed.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Easiest place to fit them is top rail of opening sashes.

I’ve got to say, I’m not a great lover of them in the sash profile as to me it will possibly weaken the strength of the frame. I would add a frame extension (add on) and have it routed in during manufacture. There are also glazed in vents that can be fitted on top of the sealed unit.
