From expert technical expertise and dedicated account management to tailored marketing support and installer tools, we offer our customers everything they need to grow their business.”
Glazerite clearly value partnerships and this extends to their suppliers.

Glazpart’ s‘ Link Vent’ range sizes include 5000, 4000 and 2500 EQA. The vents are designed to fully comply with Building Regulations, Approved Document F1( means of ventilation).
The Link Vent follows a clever design that is simple and user-friendly for both opening and closing- the innovative closing action allows the closure plate to be positioned so that it is easy to control and reduces draughts by directing air away from occupants.
With smart design, easy fitting and functionality as well as a huge choice of 1000s of colours and decorative finishes, it is clear to see why the Link Vent is the perfect choice for fabricators who want to do the job right.
