VENT OFFERS TRADE
COUNTER BENEFITS
Today, house owners are looking for those quality final touches to
dress their windows which are not only a significant investment but
are a highly visible part of the building fabric. Over time, though,
inevitably trickle vents get damaged. The kids hang off them, footballs
miss the goal and accidents just happen! Just think how many
hundreds and thousands of vents are needed across the country.
So you want new vents,
what do you do? Where
can the home owner get a
replacement? This is where
the problems start. What
size is it, will it fit over the
routs, how do I fit it, can
I do the DIY, can I get the
vents to match the window
colour? With well over 100
different products on the
market most end up with
unsightly gaffer tape.
For the trade, especially
trade counters, distribu-
tors and stockists, they
have the same problem.
How can they stock every
model on the off chance
of a walk-in for that vent
on the shelf? That’s why in
general the vents end up
as a different type as it just
happens to be stocked and
who would buy a mini-
mum quantity for the same
reason.
Many installed windows
also have those old stand-
ard 4 colours fitted to them,
brown on golden oak, yel-
low on Irish oak, black on
grey and how many other
mismatched solid colours
against the frame. Most will
be white, but Glazpart’s
new vent is available to
order from stock in over 30
colours including wood-
grains…all without you
spraying.
So, there are a vast quan-
tity of installed yet dam-
aged, mismatched colour
vents that don’t work, all
leading to poor air quality
and looking terrible. There-
fore, an RMI (Repair, Main-
tenance and Improvement)
product to address these
issues would be ideal.
That’s where Glazpart
comes in with the Link vent
Mk2, packaged and branded
under the Glazpart high-
ly successful Packers for
Professionals (RMI) product
range.
If as a trade counter,
stockist, hardware shop or
distributor you were able to
stock one product that fitted
most installed window routs
and could replace most of
the biggest selling trickle
vents currently installed in
frames, and your customers
or installers could DIY fit
them as an RMI product
in minutes - how many
thousands could you sell a
year?
