TRICKLE VENT LAUNCH

The FIT Show 2017 sees Banbury-based Glazpart extend its range of trickle vents with the launch of the Mk2 Link Vent .
The product range is described as the most compact , efficient and inconspicuous of trickle vents . It is designed to be a ‘ quality final touch ’ to blend into the window , and the new design reduces the external canopy depth by over a third from 37mm to 25mm . This still meets the minimum requirements of approved document – part F . Available in two sizes , the product features new location clips which speed up fitting while improving location accuracy both vertically and horizontally during installation . There are also no end caps to be lost in transit or on site .
Mk2 Link Vents come with over 40 finishes from moulded solid colours and woodgrain matches . The trend is to add value to the final product as windows are dressed with components finished to match the window profile or system .
