UNIVERSAL TRICKLE
VENT FOR REPAIR
AND REPLACEMENT
The ONLY universal repair and replacement trickle
vent that replaces those broken or damaged vents
fitted to your customers windows. Launched at
the FIT show in May this version of the Link Vent
from Glazpart fits all routs between 10mm and
13mm height and under 430mm width. That’s
over 48 vent types fitted to windows in the UK.
So, your customers
want new vents, what do
you do? Where can the
home owner get a replace-
ment? 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?
For the trade, installers,
trade counters, distributors
and stockists they have the
same problems. How can
they stock every vent on
the off chance of a walk-in
for that vent on the shelf?
How can you carry these
on your van?
So, there are a vast
quantity of fitted, damaged,
mismatched colour vents
that don’t work. This leads
to poor air quality and
look terrible. That’s where
Glazpart comes in with the
Link vent, packaged and
branded under Glazpart’s
market leading Packers for
Professionals range.
So, stock one product,
that fits most installed win-
dow routs and could replace
the majority of the dam-
aged, trickle vents installed
in frames. Your customers
or installers could fit them
in minutes…… how many
thousands could you sell a
year?
House owners are always
looking for those quality fi-
nal touches to increase kerb
appeal of their homes and
windows which are a highly
visible part of the building.
Over time though inevitably
trickle vents get damaged.
The kids hang off them and
accidents just happen!
Just think how many
hundreds and thousands of
vents need to be repaired
across the country. Also,
how many landlords need a
solution for tenants homes
under the new Homes (Fit-
ness for Human Habitation)
Act 2018 to address issues
of properties with a lack of
ventilation, damp or mould
growth.
According to Dean
Bradley – Sales and
Marketing Manager
“The new RMI version of
the link vent addresses a
need in the market that
has benefits for the trade,
installers and homeowners.
Windows look better, air
quality improves. All with
minimum stock, maximum
stock turn and address a
profitable market niche
and who knows what else
customers will buy whilst
they are with you.”
