Trickle Vents

Trickle vents are the breathe-easy solution for preventing your triple-glazed palace from becoming a condensation nightmare. These discrete ventilation components integrate into window frames to provide constant background airflow without compromising security and weather protection (and by extension, energy efficiency). A typical trickle vent is a cleverly engineered slot mounted into the frame head or sash top rail and integrates weather-resistant baffles (for controlling airflow while excluding draught and rain).

Modern window trickle vents meet the UK’s exacting building regulations especially those related to ventilation while maintaining window performance standards. They use acoustic dampening and aerodynamic design to minimise noise ingress and heat loss. Quality vents have adjustable opening positions to allow occupants to control ventilation rates and acoustic ratings. It’s especially important in noise-sensitive locations.

Window vents aren’t optional extras. That’s why at Locks & Handles we stock only the most dependable options from leading manufacturers, like Glazpart, Greenwood, Konig, and RW Simon. You can choose from high-performance variants and standard acoustic vents for your retrofit projects or new builds. With technical specifications often bewildering to many consumers, we’re here to enlighten you on the right trickle vent to use on your window. We’ll ensure your projects will pass Building Regulations inspection the first time.
