Exclusive VS trickle vent solution
» SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN LINE WITH the revised Building Regulations earlier this year , Quickslide ’ s exclusive new trickle vent solution for sash windows has become the preferred method for Document F compliance across the fabricator ’ s market-leading range of Legacy vertical sliders .
The Glazpart modular vent - that allows for full compliance in one sash window - is exclusive to Quickslide , who were heavily involved in its design to ensure it fully complements the heritage aesthetic the leading window and door fabricator ’ s name is synonymous with .
Managing Director Ben Weber explained : “ We ’ ve worked tirelessly and have done amazing work designing our Legacy VS with features such as runthrough sash horns , timber-looking joints , astragal bars and a deep bottom rail . But the requirement for compliance to the revised Document F meant that we then had to develop a new vent solution to complement all of this .

vent is the only continuous vent out there that allows for full compliance in one sash window . We ’ d certainly challenge installers to ask their VS manufacturer if their windows do the same ,” said Ben
Since the beginning of July trickle vents have been included as standard in all Quickslide ’ s vertical sliders , providing Trade Partners with the means to comply with the new Building Regulation requirements for ventilation at no extra cost .
“ For those customers who are willing to pay more for VS windows for the right visual impact , we don ’ t want to only meet them half-way by supplying a product that adheres to regulations but doesn ’ t look the part ,” Ben explained .
“ As a result , all our welded vertical sliders over 775mm in width now comply with the new requirement to achieve 8000 EA in one single window , and we ’ re really excited to be leading the way with this .”
