What are trickle vents?
A Trickle vent is a very small opening in a window to allow small amounts of ventilation in spaces. Trickle vents are used extensively in the UK and Europe integrated into window frames to provide minimum ventilation requirements for naturally ventilated spaces. Trickle vents are often put into new upvc window frames, but can also be fitted into older frames which are already fitted in your home.
What problems could Trickle vents help with?
Trickle vents will help to avoid problems associated with poor ventilation such as condensation, and could also help to cut down on draughts in areas which may actually be over ventilated.
Will Trickle vents fit my old upvc windows?
Yes, trickle vents can easily be fit to older style windows.
I already have trickle vents but they are looking grubby, can they be cleaned?
Yes you can either clean your trickle vents in position using a UPVC frame cleaner or unscrew your trickle vent and wash in warm soapy water.(link)
Will Trickle vents not make it more draughty, or even noisy on a windy day?
Trickle vents tend not to make it more draughty than usual, on very windy days you may feel some difference. Trickle vents are closeable if required using a little flap on the canopy inside
Do the trickle vents come in different colours?
