Banbury-based Glazpart, the specialist
injection moulding
company with extensive experience in the
fenestration industry,
employs some 80 staff
at its ISO 9001:2008
certified site, producing
millions of mouldings
each month.
Now Glazpart has
launched a new catalogue
covering its extensive range
of trickle vents for the
provision of background
ventilation in buildings and
to meet the requirements
for approved document F1.
‘The catalogue
provides detailed
summaries of
all of its key
products features
and benefits’
Easily downloadable online at http://www.glazpart.
com/products/trickle-ventilation/ or read online as a
“flip file” as though reading a paper copy all with
instant access, the catalogue
provides detailed summaries
of all of its key products
features and benefits.
‘Extensive range
of over 3,500
colour options’
Glazpart answers
key questions
such as:
• Why do we have to fit
trickle vents?
• What do trickle vents
do?
• What is EQA?
As the traditional 2,000
mm2 and 4000 mm2 no
longer apply under the prevailing building regulations,
guidance is offered on the
complex building regulations which vary across the
UK and how to meet them.
New to the catalogue
is the extensive range of
over 3,500 colour options,
whether a moulded colour, vacuum-foiled, printed
wood grain or paint-sprayed
trickle vent. Also, covered
are the company’s extensive
packaging options such as
colour combinations eg.
white internal vents with
a colour matched external
canopy.
New applications are
also detailed including
combustion air provision,
sash window options and
products to provide ventilation in Bi-fold or patio door
systems.
According to Dean Bradley, Sales and Marketing
Manager:
“This is a key document for Glazpart and our
customers as we try to
improve market knowledge and understanding of
ventilation requirements.
This document supports
our customers to access the
right technical data easi-
ly while providing useful
background information to
improve regulatory understanding and compliance
whilst raising standards
across one of our key markets “
‘This is a key
document for
Glazpart and
our customers’
While downloading the
catalogue there is the option
to keep in touch through
social media or you can add
your details to Glazpart’s
electronic mailing list to
find out the latest developments in trickle ventilation
as they happen.
