Hi all,
I am planning to install some of these. Some questions if anybody can help?
- how many holes would you drill for the airways? Would 5 or 6 holes of 6mm diameter be sufficient for a 300mm vent? One of the the newer windows in the house has one already and that has a long hole cut out, which seems a bit OTT. Thoughts?
- for installing one into a UPVC door, would you just go through the frame at the top?
- my front door has a possible option that would not entail any drilling through the frame. Photo attached. It has this piece of wood sat above it which is basically the roof of the open porch, or alcove, outside. Firstly, I find it slightly weird that there's only a piece of wood that thick separating the outside world from my home, but beside that point, how about installing a trickle vent into that piece of wood so the holes go through the top and the vent pieces are above and below?
- otherwise planning to install them into the top of the sash of windows. Like the one attached. Besides avoiding the glass, any thoughts?
Thanks
