A trickle vent’s purpose is to provide a small amount of ventilation into room through the window, even with the window closed.

Above all, they’re designed to improve the quality of air in a room and, hopefully, reduce condensation.

Current building regulations relating to background ventilation stipulate the installation of trickle vents. Still, some window and door installers don’t mention the need for these at all, irresponsibly leaving the negative outcome to the homeowner. The reasons for using them are convincing – and they all centre around our health and reducing moisture in your home.

Trickle vents are particularly beneficial in bathrooms, kitchens and cloakrooms and especially effective in rooms rarely used, such as spare rooms. During winter months, with our windows closed, our homes are less ventilated, we spend more time in them, and we often dry our clothes indoors.

These small and unobtrusive window enhancements provide genuine benefits in providing controlled ventilation and fresh air into the rooms we use every day and those we don’t. Keep your trickle vents open and they should help reduce moisture and freshen stale air – they really do work. Our advice is to always leave them fully open. Our trickle vents are installed on all new windows
