Hi all,

I want to replace a couple of now yellowing, trickle vents in our kitchen windows.

The existing trickle vents are 570mm wide (500mm between the 2 outer screws).

I see 300mm, 400mm, etc. wide ones online. But can anyone recommend where I can buy ones this big.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Foxhole, thanks for the prompt reply.

That link appears to be to a 4x300mm solution (i.e. 2x300mm both internal and external with a join in the middle).

The current trickle vents are a single piece (1 internal, 1 external, 3 screw fit) i.e. not joined. There is a screw in the middle (both internal and external).

I was hoping to find a like-for-like replacement for the existing vents without having to cut them to fit.

So is there a better solution (or have I just misunderstood the link)?

Thanks in advance,

Tuxian

There are no obvious makers markings.

Here's the internal view (with screw covers removed to show their location). Screws are 250mm apart and there are no obvious joins in the trickle vent itself.

If the only problem is they are slightly yellowing, could you take them off and use some spray paint on them?
 
The vents are ~15-20 years old - so are also quite brittle, and the outside grills on 1 or 2 have broken in places when being cleaned.

Here's an external photo of one of them.

See if you can find a local firm that makes windows, they'll likely be able to help out, or possibly your local eurocell branch
 
550mm might do? :)
 
Hi RandomGrinch,
That trickle vent looks like it might be a suitable replacement.
Many thanks,
