The Window Company (Contracts) has become a ‘Glazpartner’ – a partner of Glazpart, the glazing accessory supplier. Glazpart is now the commercial installer’s preferred supplier of trickle vents.
The ‘Glazpartnership’ was confirmed at the Fit Show trade exhibition in May, where a the Window Company (Contracts)-branded Portico door and a U70 window were displayed on the Glazpart stand. Both products were fitted with trickle vents from the Link Vent range.
“Even before the updates to Part F last year, we were already using Glazpart trickle vents on virtually all the windows we fitted, in both new build projects and our longstanding social housing replacement contracts,” said David Thornton, chair of the Window Company (Contracts).
“We’ve now standardised on the new Link Vent products for all our windows because this is the one that has been best received by residents who, in our experience, almost always appreciate the benefits of the passive ventilation they provide. Despite the rumblings in some part of the industry that householders would resist trickle vents, we have only ever had positive feedback.”
David added: “In social housing applications in particular, trickle vents represent probably the simplest and lowest cost way to increase ventilation and reduce the risks associated with damp and condensation. By demonstrating how easily you can fit a vent into a door as well as a window, we wanted to show that you can extend those benefits into hallways and shared spaces.”
The Window Company (Contracts) has joined a growing list of UK fabricators who have become Glazpartners. The partnership means that the business is set to provide market and product feedback as well as receive targeted marketing and communications support.
