Mila has added the new Yale SlotVent contemporary styled trickle vents to its range ahead of the deadline for the new Building Regs on 15 June.

The company has also created a dedicated section on its website to give customers the information on when trickle vents are required and how best to communicate the benefits to homeowners.

All three sizes in the SlotVent range – 2500EA, 4000EA and 5000EA – are now in stock. They can be used on their own or in combination to reach the 4000mm2, 8000mm2, or 1000mm2 targets required for bathrooms, kitchens and habitable rooms in either multi-storey or single-storey dwellings.

All of the sizes are available in 10 colours, including anthracite grey, Irish oak, cream and Chartwell green to match with the most popular frame choices, and all have the option of a white internal half to suit most decor.

The new Approved Document F requires that trickle vents must be controllable by the occupant and the SlotVent range is flexible with 30°, 60° and 90° tilt modes to adjust the airflow. Externally, they feature a curved hood for optimum weather sealing, and they can be ordered with a fly screen add-on if required.

In high noise areas, or where customers are particularly concerned about draughts, there is a noise reduction version available, which comes with a foam gasket on the internal section. 

Mila Managing Director Richard Gyde said: “We know that trickle vents aren’t universally popular with either fabricators or homeowners, but they are set to become a statutory requirement for the vast majority of windows from June to prevent excess condensation build up and ensure adequate air flow in our increasingly airtight homes.”
