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. http://www.glazpart.com/ products/ to download the catalogue as a PDF or view the on line “flip folder”.
