Ask your QuestionI had new windows fitted 5 years ago without trickle vents. Can I get these fitted retrospectively? Will it solve a minor condensation problem?
Asked by James on 2nd Dec 2019Best Answer
"It is a regulation to fit trickle vents, it should be possible to fit new ones and this should help with minor condensation problems.
Thanks, Brian"
"Hi,
Yes trickle vents can be fitted afterwards depending on the type of windows installed, this may stop some condensation, but you will then constantly have a draught. If you open the window a small amount at night this should help. Are the glass units A rated? There maybe other ways to solve this but I will need more information and photos.
Kind Regards
Mark. MB Frames."
"Yes you can have the trickle vents fitted to solve the problem."
