Big Hitters Link Up On Link Vents
Glazpart is supplying independent hardware firm Carl F Groupco with its Link Vent trickle vents to ensure installers and fabricators comply with changes to Approved Document F (ventilation) of the building regulations.
Both companies offer advice on the latest update to Part F as it is still not entirely understood or complied with as evidenced by the number of FENSA assessment failures currently occurring for applying the ventilation rules incorrectly.
The Link Vent range sizes include 5,000, 4,000 and 2,500 EQA. Equivalent Area (EQA) is the measure of the vents air flow performance.
The closing action of Link Vents allows the closure plate to be positioned so that it reduces draughts by directing air away from occupants. The 4000 and 5000 closure plate is split to allow for partial (50%) opening and greater ease of opening of the ventilator.
The vents also have rounded ends to allow for installation on timber windows.
It is available in either screw or clip-in fixing types - the design to eliminate the need for end caps whilst the clip fix design (Pawl’s) allows for a fast, easy vent installation, it is claimed.
Carl F Groupco
John Crittenden, MD at Carl F Groupco says: “With the building regulations changing last year, it is essential that we stock and distribute the Link Vent range to meet the demands of our customers as it not only complies with the regulations, it also is one of the most versatile and well-designed trickle vents for windows and doors. And it comes in so many colours so we can keep up with customer demand on all fronts.”
Glazpart’s sales director, Dean Bradley, says: “The Link Vent range is proving popular throughout the supply chain. It is great to have a distributor such as Carl F Groupco to reach window and door manufacturers, fabricators and installers across the UK. The Link Vent is also proving to be the best option for consumers wanting a slick modern ventilation solution.”
