For four decades, Glazpart has produced a wide range of high quality glazing accessories and award winning trickle vents. Today the company continues to invest in state of the art machinery, processes and systems to ensure on time delivery of high quality plastic injected moulded components to the glass, glazing and fenestration market. In June 2022, when Building Regulations changed in England and Wales, much of the focus was on the impact the new legislation would have on fenestration and how companies in the supply chain would have to comply with Approved Document F( means of ventilation). The easiest way for companies to comply with Approved Document F is to install trickle vents on doors and windows. It is the most practical and economical ventilation solution for fabricators and installers.

In addition to compliance with Building Regulations, all installers and home improvement companies should also use

the opportunity to explain the benefits of good ventilation to homeowners, such as improved air quality, thermal comfort, health and wellbeing.

Glazpart launched the innovative Link Vent in 2013 and since then, in 2022, in time for the legislative changes, the Link Vent 4000 was introduced to the range to meet the ventilation requirement for smaller rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms – quite often the rooms with poorest ventilation and air quality.

The Link Vent 4000 is designed to cover areas of 8000mm2 for habitable rooms which would mean 2 x Link Vent 4000 would be installed in the windows / doors to achieve compliance.

The clever design of the Link Vent makes it simple to install and user friendly for both opening and closing- the innovative closing action allows the closure plate to be positioned so that it reduces draughts by directing air away from occupants.

Smart design, easy fitting, and functionality are fundamentals but it is the huge choice of colours and decorative finishes that sets Glazpart apart from the competition. The Link Vent is perfect for doors as the colours and woodgrains can be perfectly matched to blend in with the overall design and look of the door.

For homeowners, the benefits go beyond simple aesthetics but also durability. The

colours and finishes are extremely stable and resistant to UV rays, so homeowners can be safe in the knowledge that the vents will hold their colour in extreme weather conditions and constant exposure to the elements of weather, without noticeable fading.

At the start of 2024, Glazpart announced that its Link Vent premium finish ranges are now available in handy packs of either 10 canopies or internal vents to help companies only buy the stock they need and add more value, both in terms of revenue and kerb appeal for homeowners. The premium finishes available in the new size packs are the Premium Woodgrain range, Premium Vac Foiled range, Premium Sprayed Colours, Super Matt Finishes.

The Link Vent has become the leading ventilation solution for building designers, window manufacturers, fabricators and installers and can be fitted to most PVC-U windows and doors.

Latest New Products

With the fenestration industry becoming increasingly competitive with more choice of products and window systems than ever now available in the market, Glazpart has had to think strategically when it comes to designing, manufacturing and supplying glazing accessories for use across multiple window and door systems.

In 2025, Glazpart’ s product development strategy bore fruit with two new innovative products for PVC-U fabricators.

The MSBP( Multi System Bridge Packer) is designed and manufactured for flexible application across multiple PVC-U window and door systems. The MSBP benefits fabricators working with several 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 have become a key design accessory in PVC-U 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.

As well as its great versatility, Glazpart’ s MSBP has several key features including:
