Part F compliance made easy

Following the end of the transitional arrangement for Approved Document F on 15 June, Carl F Groupco says it has ensured ongoing compliance is ‘straightforward’ by stocking an extensive inventory of Part F compliant trickle vents. 

John King, sales director, said: “From 15 June 2023 all windows have a mandatory requirement to meet the revised Document F of Building Regulations. The new Part F of Building Regulations requires additional ventilation to circulate air in living spaces.

“While this can be achieved in many ways, by far the most economical and practical solution is to use trickle vents. We see this very clearly reflected in our sales with a near 50% rise in sales of trickle vents year-on-year which is likely to increase further now the transition period has ended.”

Carl F Groupco’s range of Part F compliant trickle vents includes the Glazpart Link Vent MK II as well as a range of trickle vents from RW Simon, Yale and Greenwood, including their acoustic variants.

The company also stocks the Aeropac sound insulated ventilator and the Aerovital ventilator and heat recovery unit from Siegenia, which both provide alternative methods to achieve Part F compliance across new build and refurbishment projects.

Alongside the products, Carl F Groupco also offers support as required. John said: “As a responsible hardware distributor, we can help our customers with the advice and guidance they need with these regulations. It’s something we know fabricators and installers are finding valuable.”
