Thanks

They are a very good idea depending on your house, style, and needs, if not the most attractive solutions. I have however seen windows with recessed and colour matched trickle vents - so maybe you need to speak to your supplier of other suppliers. You haven't mentioned the age of your house - if you are in a period property you must have good ventilation, especially if you are getting double glazing. Although I have experienced newer- build property in desperate need of trickle vents because there is no ventilation! Otherwise you will get condensation and then damp. If you seal up all draughts in your house you will end up living in a sweat box. Also, check your insurance - having a window open, even if locked open a crack, will often invalid insurance. Trickle vents avoid this. Also note that trickle vents can be opened and closed, and also retro-fitted. A friend had trickle vents fitted and it solved their damp issues. Consider your window dressing - if you are hanging blinds they may hide the trickle vents. I have trickle vents in new uPVC windows, and sash windows in other rooms but as I have floor vents and stripped wood floorboards my house is well ventilated so I don't worry too much.

Thanks for the replies! @oneplan - I had thought about this but I’ve only ever had a nightmare with washer/dryers - the dryer setting just seems to make the clothes warm and damp! Maybe there are better models... @ann - thank you for the recommendation...I’ve tried to look that one up, don’t suppose you could tell me the model? It looks like it might not be quite as shallow as fully integrated appliances but if I can check the dimensions maybe that would work!

Thanks all for your comments. We’ve now seen photos and a video showing the vents which will be fitted and whilst we would rather not have them, they are very discreet, especially on the sash window where it is built into the framework and won’t look any different. There will be a visible plastic vent cover inside the French doors which we don’t much like but husband will deal with that after installation so it’s accessible but can’t be seen. The daft thing is that the regulations are to improve ventilation in buildings, stating that new windows will make a building more airtight. I would agree if we were replacing an old wooden sash with a new, double glazed one, but we’re replacing a sealed unit upvc window with a wooden sash, and I’m pretty sure the ventilation will be increased even if no trickle vents were fitted. Having read a large chunk of the regulations (I know!) it seems one would no longer be able to replace a vented extractor with a circulation one, or remove it altogether. I’ve seen that come up on here before, so one to be aware of from 15th June this year. Angie

Hi Maria, I have replied to your message aswell. This diagram may assist .. the blue pipes are the under floor heating. ..however this is not gospel as they are a few ways to do this.. your builder / architect should be able to advise further. Also we (BORA) dont do a BORA simple.. i think you are after a BORA Pure.
