About this Product
Trickle Vents, which may also be called Background Ventilators, are a natural ventilation device to provide background ventilation in addition to other forms of ventilation and are usually incorporated into the frame of a window. They might optionally have a perforated aluminium screen on the supply side to prevent dust, insect, and bird passage from the outside. They can generally transfer fresh air from the outside to the inside by controlling wind gusts and turbulence. Moreover, the acoustic performance is considerably better in comparison with that of windows. Since it is operable independently, a design with a much larger glass size is possible.
Trickle Vents (Background Ventilation) are defined in Building Regulations 2010 Approved Document Part F as a small ventilation opening which is designed to satisfy the ventilation requirements for an entire building. Provisions for Trickle Vents are illustrated below. Even though they are mainly specified as Trickle Vents in the market, some technical documents call them background ventilators as well. They are mostly positioned 1.7 m above floor level in order to prevent probable cold draughts.
Trickle Vents are typically controlled manually. Some types of Trickle Vents have intermediate positions as well as open and closed positions with respect to the fresh air requirement. Opening, closing, and other intermediate positions are operated by the help of flaps.
Trickle Vents or trickle ventilators are a component within a window or a door, situated at the upper part of the frame. Their purpose is to provide permanent ventilation into the room, even with a closed window. These vents allow a small amount of ventilation through the window at all times. They come either as permanent or a controllable version, opening and closing.
Above all, they’re designed to improve the quality of air in a room and hopefully a reduction in condensation.
Current Building Regulations relating to background ventilation stipulate the use of trickle vents in new-build homes and extensions. Some window and door installers don’t mention the need for these at all, irresponsibly leaving the decision to the homeowner. However, the reasons for using them are convincing – and it all centres around our health and not damaging your home with moisture.
Modern materials, energy-saving and interior comfort mean today, we insulate our homes better than ever. Insulation is a good thing. Owners of older and poorly insulated buildings understand heat loss through walls and roofs without insulation or old single glazed windows and doors.
Thermal comfort, energy-saving, and reducing heat loss mean better all-round comfort. However, it also means better-sealed homes resulting in the air unable to escape and of poorer quality inside the room. This poor-quality air comes in several forms. CO2, candles, paint fumes, cooking and bathing and those rarely opening windows in their homes. All this adds to moisture, stale air, and having to deal with condensation.
Above all, poor air quality is known to affect general health and our homes are no exception.
They’re especially effective in rooms rarely used such as spare rooms. Bathrooms, kitchens, and toilets also benefit.
The fact is, the winter months mean our homes are less ventilated, and we spend more time in them and we often dry our clothes indoors. These small and unobtrusive window and door enhancements provide genuine benefits in providing controlled ventilation and fresh air into the rooms we use every day and those we don’t.
Trickle vents allow controlled ventilation and fresh air into habitable rooms, freshening the stale air. Keep your trickle vents open and they should help reduce moisture – they really do work. Our advice is to leave them fully open at all times.
