Do Trickle Vents Work?

Do Trickle Vents Work?

Fitting trickle vents will prevent condensation build-ups that could lead to mould growth which can be harmful to your health. Trickle vents prevent airflow when closed, and when open they allow a small amount of air to circulate around the room.

Should trickle vents be open all the time?

Trickle vents allow controlled ventilation and fresh air into habitable rooms, freshening the stale air. Keep your trickle vents open and they should help reduce moisture – they really do work. Our advice is to leave them fully open at all times.

Are trickle vents enough ventilation?

Trickle vents help to keep the air in our homes fresh and clean, as well as keeping condensation out and lowering humidity in a room. While they may not be the most comprehensive ventilation solution, they can be used in conjunction with other systems to ensure excellent air quality throughout your property.
