Reply with quote Thanks

Is there a company that can provide kits for adding air vents in double glazing window frames (PVC). I need something that I can drill / cut and clip on to the frames to provide ventilation.

Make sure you take the glass out first; & then it's notoriously fiddly!

We have them in our windows and I wish I hadn't bothered. They let so much noise through you loose some of the benefit of having double glazing. icon_evil.gif
