Sash Window Trickle Vent Options

If you’re considering installing sash windows in your home, you may be wondering about the options available for trickle vents. Trickle vents are small openings in the window frame that allow for controlled ventilation while maintaining security and energy efficiency. In this article, we will explore the different options for sash window trickle vents and how they can enhance your home.

What Are Trickle Vents?

Trickle vents are small openings in the window frame that allow for controlled ventilation while maintaining the security and thermal performance of the window. They are especially important in well insulated buildings where natural ventilation may be limited. Trickle vents help to prevent condensation, damp penetration, and mould growth by allowing a constant flow of fresh air into the room.

Sash Window Trickle Vent Options:

There are several options available for sash window trickle vents, depending on your specific needs and preferences. As a Roseview Windows partner, we are able to provide a number of efficient ventilation options:

Concealed Overhead Trickle Vents

This vent is discreetly integrated into the window frame, providing ventilation without compromising the visual appearance of your sash windows. The Concealed vent meets the requirements of Approved Document F in the 2022 Building Regulations, which increased background ventilation requirements. With the Concealed vent, you can ensure proper ventilation in your home while adhering to regulatory standards.

Through Frame & Sash Trickle Vents

We also offer through frame and through sash trickle vents. These vents can either be installed directly through the frame of the window or the top sash. Both options are sleek and stylish, and the through frame option is ideal for homeowners who don’t want to disrupt the heritage appearance of their sliding sash windows.
