» WITH THE PERIOD FOR the transitional arrangement for Approved Document F in England ending on 15th June 2023 , Carl F Groupco has ensured ongoing compliance is straightforward by stocking an extensive inventory of Part F compliant trickle vents .

John King , Sales Director of the leading independent hardware supplier , said : “ From 15th June 2023 all windows have a mandatory requirement to meet the revised Document F of Building Regulations . The new Part F of Building Regulations requires additional ventilation to circulate air in living spaces . While this can be achieved in many ways , by far the most economical and practical solution is to use trickle vents . We see this very clearly reflected in our sales

with a near 50 % rise in sales of trickle vents year-on-year which is likely to increase further now the transition period has ended .”

Carl F Groupco stocks a comprehensive range of Part F compliant trickle vents from leading manufacturers , meaning fabricators have

several options to choose from . The range includes the popular Glazpart Link Vent MK II providing ventilation to homes without the need to open a window . Also available is a range of trickle vents from RW Simon , Yale and Greenwood , including their acoustic variants as part of its range

of quality window and door components .

For next level sound and ventilation , the company also stocks the AEROPAC Sound Insulated Ventilator and the AEROVITAL Ventilator and Heat Recovery Unit from Siegenia , which both provide alternative methods to achieve Part F compliance across new build and refurbishment projects .

Alongside the products , Carl F Groupco also offers support as required . John said : “ As a responsible hardware distributor , we can help our customers with the advice and guidance they need with these regulations . It ’ s something we know fabricators and installers are finding valuable .”
