As long as you don't hit the glass when you drill through the ali with your ultra sharp drill bit then technically you can do it. Might look a bit shyte though :confused:
 
But is condensation gonna form anyway on an aluminium window, even on a thermally broken one?
 
trickle vent will make little or no difference to condensation
you need proper air flow

even the most efficient d/glazing will have condensation if its the coldest surface in the room/house even with a thermal break

This is a point i've made before; are we making our homes too efficient, a draught here or there never killed anyone did it, may of even helped air flow at the same time.
 
cheers for al the replies..Had a good look about this time, chimney was closed off when she had a gas fire plumbed in. This should be vented anyway so will see if it makes a difference..Otherwise only option looks like a core drill and a few vent covers!
