Trickle vent demand up 45%
Carl F Groupco has reported a 45% increase in demand for trickle vents following the amendments to Part F of Building Regulations in June.
John Crittenden, managing director, said: “We’re not surprised to be reporting these increased sales figures because they mean the requirements of the new Part F of Building Regulations are bedding in.
“The changes mean that trickle vents are by far the most cost-effective way to achieve compliance with the ventilation requirements, so we always predicted a sharp increase in demand.”
Carl F Groupco’s holds stocks of trickle vents from leading brands including Glazpart, Greenwood, RW Simon and Yale.
John commented: “It’s important to stress that trickle vents are the most cost-effective way of meeting the new Part F requirement, which is mandatory. Whether it is a home extension, new build or replacement windows, the majority of installations will need to be fitted with trickle vents. By holding strong stock levels across multiple providers, we are making it as easy as possible for customers to comply with the regulations.”
