MARCH 07 - NEW TOOL FOR MARKETING WINDOWS TO CONSUMERS

The law on replacement windows has changed - and it can benefit your bottom line, according to Passivent Ltd. The company, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of natural ventilation solutions, has devised an approach that helps window installers give enhanced credibility and peace of mind to customers.

Passivent is aiming to help householders understand why ventilation is important, and the legal requirements regarding its inclusion in replacement windows by publishing an informative guide, “Ventilate Right”. The Guide clarifies the issues, and advises on complying with the law.  Under the new Regulations, replacement windows must have tricklevents fitted if they were on the original windows. Even if the original windows had no such vents, Building Regulations do state it is ‘good practice’ to fit them.

The booklet is available free on request to window fabricators and installers who use Passivent trickleventilators, to help explain the Regulations to homeowners, and simplify the specification process for all parties.

Passivent supplies a comprehensive range of trickle ventilators for windows, including a discreet overframe vent that forms part of the window frame so does not impact on the appearance of the new window, an acoustic option for noisy environments, and an energy-saving vent which automatically opens and closes depending on the humidity level in the room.

Copies of “Ventilate Right” are available free on request from Passivent, either by telephoning 01612 962 7113, emailing info@passivent.com, or download the pdf - 'Ventilate Right'

In addition to a comprehensive range of trickle ventilators, Passivent supplies the Fresh range of through wall ventilators, plus a comprehensive selection of natural and assisted ventilation solutions, with or without acoustic options. Passivent is part of the Building Product Design Group, which specialises in developing innovative yet practical ventilation and roofing products in line with changing market requirements.
