• Collaboration Leads To New Vent Solution

Good news – two of the industry’s leading names have worked together to find a new solution to meet ventilation regulatory requirements and find a finish that meets homeowners’ expectations.

Quickslide, which is best known for its Legacy heritage window alongside its modern windows and folding garden doors, has collaborated with Glazpart, the window vent and window ancillaries firm, to come up with the Modular Vent. 

Tough to comply

When it comes to vertical sliders, fabricators face an additional challenge to get full compliance at the same level as casement windows while retaining the classic heritage looks. Quickslide and Glazpart have developed a bespoke vent solution for their Legacy VS range to enable all these welded vertical sliders of more than 1055mm in width to carry 12,000 EA in a single window, meeting the building regulations (Approved Document F) requirements for ventilation in England, Wales and Scotland.  

Colour matched

Sandra Berg, Quickslide’s marketing manager, says: “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”.  The product has 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 a 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. 

Get the EQA you want

A very popular 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.  

The Modular Vent’s key features:

• Thigh performing for watertightness at 1000Pa.

• Spring Clip fitting (No Screws) (Saves time per window to.

• Closure mechanism provides for adjustable ventilation with a positive action.

• 2,000 EQA performance for each module fitted.

• LABC certified.

• Available in 100s of colour options and combinations.

• One of the shortest width trickle vents on the market.

• Perfect for heritage style windows
