TRICKLE VENT SLOTS INTO VENTILATION RANGE

» YALE HAS ANNOUNCED THE launch of its new SlotVent range of trickle vents for windows , providing ventilation to homes without the need to open a window . Grant Stratford , Technical Director for window hardware at Yale , comments : “ Trickle vents are openings in a window that allow a small amount of air to pass through , helping to remove stale air and reduce condensation and mould , as well as enabling people in cities or near busy roads to benefit from ventilation without having to open their windows .
“ Trickle vents are a requirement under the Building Regulation , England and Wales Approved Document F1 and Scottish building regulation 3.14 . With our new SlotVent range , we are enabling fabricators and installers to meet this requirement with a high-quality solution that offers several outstanding features .”
The SlotVent range offers a choice of three variants – 2500EA ( Equivalent Area ), 4000EA , and 5000EA – each providing a different level of ventilation , depending on requirements . The product is made up of
an internal vent that can be tilted 30 , 60 , or 90 degrees and includes the option of a foam gasket that reduces noise and drafts ; as well as an external hood and a fly screen for the over-frame .
The vents are available in a wide range of colours – from Black and White to Agate Grey , Chartwell Green , and Irish Oak – inners and outers can be ordered as a set or separately to suit the window aesthetics and specification .
Easy to fit , they are attached to the window using pre-fitted clips , or can alternatively be fixed using the screw-holes provided in the clips .
All products in the SlotVent range have been thoroughly tested at BRE in accordance with EN13141-1:2019 , confirming their suitability for residential building ventilation , and BS EN ISO 10140-1 , testifying to their ability to insulate against airborne sound .

New showroom follows major site expansion

» THE GLAZERITE UK GROUP HAS unveiled a brand-new showroom at its North West Division in Bolton , following major investment at the site . The showroom is a first for Glazerite and was created by the fabricator as an opportunity to showcase its comprehensive product range to customers , and to assist its employees with product training . On display are its three flush sash options as well as the VEKA range , and door options from the likes of DOORCO and Solidor . Door furniture and hardware is also on show , demonstrating the breadth and depth of the products available from Glazerite .
Jeff Dunn , Group Sales & Marketing Director , says : “ We ’ re delighted with the space we ’ ve created and what we ’ ve been able to showcase . We ’ ve worked with a number of our suppliers like VEKA , the Residence Collection , Blinds in Glass , Kubu , DOORCO , Ultion and Sweet to put together a dynamic display of the the products we have available for customers .”
The development of the showroom follows a 2019 Glazerite investment to double the size of its North West Division , in order to improve performance and capacity . Customers and suppliers attending the Open Day were also welcomed around the new facilities to see how the investment has been spent on improving efficiencies in production .
Jeff adds : “ Completing the showroom has been a massive effort from our team and it ’ s really paid off . We wanted to mark the occasion with an event but with business being as busy as it is at the minute , we weren ’ t sure what uptake we ’ d actually get . However , the turnout was great from customers and some of our key suppliers . It was really nice for our staff to be able to put names to faces again after all this time . Aside from showing off our new facility it was just really nice to do .”
