Aluminium trend continues
Following the successful launch of the Bi-Fold Vent in 2025, Glazpart continues its focus on the aluminium sector with the launch of AluVent. The new range of trickle ventilators is designed to meet the needs of the growing aluminium windows and doors market according to Glazpart sales director Dean Bradley. He says that the AluVent is versatile with a design that allows it to be frame or sash mounted.
The AluVent range is an evolution of Glazpart’s trickle vent portfolio in response to industry feedback from the aluminium window and door sector.
Made from low carbon aluminium, the AluVent extrusions are produced using partially recycled billet which is certified and fully traceable with up to 25% recycled aluminium content.
The AluVent is fitted with a foam strip on the inside of the vents closure plate which reduces cold spots, helps seal the rout and improves the noise reduction performance in the closed position.
The vent is designed to be fitted on either a 13mm or 10mm rout height. Available in 3 sizes, the AluVent’s performance will meet the background ventilation room rates as defined in building regulations (Approved Document F – means of ventilation). Equivalent area (EQA) is used instead of free area for the sizing of trickle ventilators as it is a better measure of a ventilator’s air flow performance.
Among several features, the AluVent comes with profile end caps that clip into the grille, locking it into position and so avoiding separation from the aluminium profiles (lid or canopy) and allowing for screw fixing to the profile.
The AluVent is powder coated aluminium with RAL colour matched end caps as well as traditional black and white, which are fitted easily in place without the need for any tools. There is also an unassembled mill finish option so installers can powder coat their own specific colour.
Dean Bradley, says, “The AluVent is a welcome addition to our trickle vent range and once again demonstrates our continuous commitment to the aluminium sector.”
The Aluvent is available for delivery from 3 August 2026.
