Where to buy trickle vents?

[johnnymac58]

I need to get trickle vents for my bedroom window.

Gets condensation quite a bit and some mould round the window.

Anyone got any recommended places to pick up decent trickle vents and are they easy to install?

I phoned a few local companies, none of whom supply them.

And found nothing on the B+Q website.

Anyone bought from any of the following:

Thanks in advance.

The Greenwood ones are the best mate. The second link looks spot on. 200mm vents will be fine, larger ones look a bit gareish.

How easy are these to retrofit?

How far in the pvc frame does the glass come ?

It doesnt go past the bead line, usually 5mm in off the bead/window joint all round.

How easy are these to fit - well they're a doddle...........so long as your frame or sash isn't steel reinforced

How will I find out if my window frames are reinforced? If I remove the glass will the reinforcement be visible?
I suppose it will be a no-go to install the trickle vents if there is reinforcements inside the frames.
This condensation is getting to be a reeeeal pain

If your confident in removing the glass and refitting it remembering to toe an d heel the sashes then when the glass is out you should see screws around the inside, these will be to hold the reinforcing to the pvc, if your not to confident then a simple magnet will do

Thanks for the reply Ive changed the glass in several frames over the years so no problems there
