Quickslide has worked with Glazpart to develop a trickle vent solution for its Legacy range of vertical sliders.
Quickslide use Glazpart’s Link Vent for all its products but developed a bespoke vent solution for the Legacy VS range to enable all its welded vertical sliders of more than 1,055mm in width to carry 12,000 EA in a single window, meeting the Building Regulation (Approved Document F) requirements for ventilation in England, Wales and Scotland.
Sandra Berg, marketing manager of Quickslide commented: “It’s not just a trickle vent to us. We manufacture premium heritage products with a traditional look, which is why it’s important the vents were colour-matched and woodgrain foiled to match the wood effects of our windows and doors.”
Glazpart’s modular ventilator provides trickle ventilation in accordance with the Building Regulations Approved Document F1.
The product is said to have undergone a radical redesign to improve the performance and aesthetics of the product and to bring it in line with the latest regulatory changes introduced in June 2022.
As part of the review, the vent is also available in a wider range of colours and finishes.
The product is specifically designed for ‘through profile’ PVC-U applications using a 19mm routed slot. All ventilators are clip fixed with the advantage of rapid fitting to profiles.
The unique feature of the modular vent is the potential to assemble the ventilation EQA you need by clipping the modules together before fitting to the windows.
