The Modular Ventilator will provide Trickle Ventilation in accordance with the Building Regulations 2000: Part F: Approved Document F1 October 2010 and Scottish Building Regulations October 2011 Standard.
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 2023 changes. This also means it is 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.
The unique 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 images above show different combinations where each module delivers 2000 EQA, 2 gives 4,000 EQA, 3 gives 6,000 EQA etc This then leaves just the need for 2 end caps per set.
The products key features are as follows:
- The highest performing trickle vent for watertightness at 1000 Pa
- Spring Clip fitting (No Screws) (Saves minutes per window to install)
- Unique closure mechanism provides for adjustable ventilation with a positive action
- 2000 EQA performance for each module fitted.
- Previously BBA and LABC certified
- Clip fixed so no end caps (to be lost) when assembled on sets to provide 4,000, 6,000, 8000 + only end caps on each end not on each module.
- Available in 100’s of colour options and combinations
- One of the shortest width trickle vents on the market
The product consists of an internal unit with adjustable closures to regulate incoming air flow and a choice of external protective screens.
Internal ventilator
The product is based on a modular concept. The base module carries a male and female dovetail on opposite ends. This allows them to be quickly joined to give the required equivalent area. Complimentary end caps are then fitted to complete the assembly. Product is of course available assembled to customers requirements.
The modules carry a moulded pair of spring clips that enable them to be firmly snapped into the routed slot in the profile. This has obvious cost savings when compared with “Screw Fitting” alternatives.
The unique patiented closure action, gives two intermediate opening positions as well as “Closed”and “Fully Open”.
External canopy
The modular, snap fitting features and footprint, are common between internal and external units.
External (Flat) grille
Alternative exterior units are available.on the form of a FLAT GRILLE Designed primarily for installation in a near horizontal plane. This can be used if required for over frame applications and IF protected by a profile shroud protecting the external flat grille face.
Both internal and external units are primarily moulded in ASA. The spring fixing clips are in UV stabilised Acetal.

All tricklevent colours are available boxed as bagged sets or bulk packed “pick n mix”.
Bagged sets – The vent (internal) and canopy (external) are bagged and are both the same colour, normally 50 sets per box.
Benefit; Sets are easy to pick and ship with each window. Typically, vents can be taped to windows or added to the hardware box that accompanies each delivery.
Colour on white sets – The vent (internal) and canopy (external) are sold as sets (white internal vent with a coloured external canopy), normally 50 sets per box.
Benefit: No need to buy two sets of vents, (a white set and a colour set) then dispose of the excess parts, so half price?
Specials – If you need a particular colour mix, these are normally made to order with 50 bagged sets per box. Contact customer service for advice on availability.
Bulk packed – The vent (internal) or canopy (external) are sold separately (one colour only), normally 100 parts per box.
Benefit: This allows for a “pick n mix” option on the production line. This allows more effective purchasing on volumes and “special” colours whilst being easily adaptable for colour on white. Buy more of the colours you use most of at better prices and carry minimal stocks of low volume use or special colours.
