1,000,000
This is the sales milestone reached earlier this
year of the innovative and game changing
trickle ventilator the Link Vent, launched by
Glazpart in just 2016. Up to 1,000,000 windows
have been fitted with the Link vents across the
country. Reducing call backs, minimising negative
feedback and maximising potential margins.
Homeowners love the
smaller size and greater per-
formance delivered by the
product as it is less drafty
when closed and there are
fewer gaps to create those
little whistles combined
with complete control of the
closure plate to allow just
the right level of fresh air.
Fabricators have bene-
fitted from the reduction
in stock whilst speeding
routing in production and
you only need one vent
type and rout size to meet
the minimum regulatory
requirements of Approved
Document F. Smaller win-
dows can now also comply
due to the smaller 235mm
vent size.
Installers have benefited
from the much faster instal-
lation using the standard
fitting clips but still with the
ability to screw the vents on
and there is no frustration
from broken or lost end
caps on the job as there
aren’t any to be lost!
Homeowner and tenants’
feedback has also been very
positive in that they love
the opening action of the
internal vent and disap-
pears almost into the fabric
of the frame or sash when
closed.
