fabricators have to ensure they

have the right components to

complement their products and

meet homeowners’ demands.

With multiple UPVC window

and door systems available in

the market, Glazpart( the leading

glazing component manufacturer

) has had to think strategically

when it comes to designing,

manufacturing and supplying

trickle vents and glazing accessories

for use across multiple

window and door systems.

In 2025, Glazpart launched

two new products- the MSBP

( Multi-System Bridge Packer)

and the Modular Vent – both

designed specifically for fabricators

manufacturing UPVC

windows and doors.

THE MSBP

The MSBP’ s flexibility is perfect

for application in multiple window

and door systems including:

• Eurocell – Logic M70

• Veka – M70 / Fully

Sculptured / Omnia

• Veka Halo – System 10 /

Rustique

• Liniar – Chamfered Feature

• Deceuninck – 2500 / 2800

• REHAU – Total 70

• Kommerling – C70 / 070

• Aluplast – Ideal 70 / Ideal

4000

Standard bridge packers are a key design accessory in UPVC systems and provide a flat surface for the use of setting flat packers whilst ensuring the water escape and ventilation routes around the insulated glazed units are maintained. The MSBP’ s key features include:

• an easy clip mechanism to secure into position and remain fixed without the need for silicone

• assurance that any water ingress into the glazing channel will run below the MSBP and out via the window and door drainage system and stops water / moisture build up and freezing in the winter

• prevention of water contact with the Insulating Glazing Unit( IGU) maintaining a distance between the water and IGU edge

• easier and cleaner installation

• a flexible application that benefits fabricators working with several systems

Designed to fully integrate with Glazpart’ s range of flat packers, the MSBP also has the same functional benefits as Glazpart’ s current range of bridge packers.

THE MODULAR VENT

In January 2025, Glazpart

added the Modular Vent to its

trickle vent range. Developed

for UPVC vertical sliders, the

Modular Vent is fully compliant

with regulations( LABC certified

), has high performance

and is available in a wide

range of colours and finishes-

ideal for the heritage sector.

The product is specifically

designed for“ Through Profile”

UPVC applications using a

19mm routed slot. All ventilators

are“ Clip” fixed with the advantage

of rapid fitting to profiles.

Each Modular Vent has 2000

EQA and has the unique advantage

of being able to assemble

the ventilation EQA required by

clipping the modules together

before fitting to the windows.

The Modular Vent is one

of the shortest trickle vents

in the market but is also the

highest performing trickle vent

for watertightness at 1000 Pa

and with a Spring Clip fitting

( no screws) it also saves time

when installing.

MAINTAINING A TRADITIONAL LOOK

The huge choice of colours

and decorative finishes makes

Glazpart’ s trickle vents perfect for

fenestration in heritage buildings.

For over ten years, Glazpart

has consistently invested in

state of-the-art machinery

and tooling to produce a vast

spectrum of colours and finishes

for its trickle vents. To match the

woodgrains in heritage windows

and doors, many fabricators

and installers use Glazpart’ s

Premium Finish ranges.

Glazpart’ s colours are also

extremely stable and durable

with the trickle vents holding

their colour through constant

exposure to extreme and

constant elements of weather,

without noticeable fading.

LISTENING TO CUSTOMERS

Both new products complement

Glazpart’ s extensive

product portfolio of trickle

vents and glazing accessories

and underlines how Glazpart is

the“ one stop shop” for glazing

component solutions that

help window fabricators and

installers in the UK

and Ireland.
