Ventilation in a property is essential to prevent mould, condensation, and damp issues. To help ventilate homes, many windows are installed with trickle vents. Trickle vents allow a tiny amount of fresh air into the home without compromising the thermal effect of double glazing.
Small window vents can help regulate the humidity and remove stale air from rooms. If you have vents in your windows they must continue to work effectively.

Are trickle vents needed?
With the focus on insulating our homes, why is it necessary to have ventilation gaps in windows? Condensation can cause damp issues in a home if there isn’t enough ventilation. Condensation happens when water vapour in the air cannot escape. One way to stop condensation is to open a window but that is not always convenient. Open windows can be a security risk for ground-floor openings. That’s where a trickle vent is ideal, it is always allowing fresh air in without making your home insecure.
If you have a vent in your window, don’t block it up. You could cause damage to your property. Make sure the vent is open and clear of debris so it can work effectively.
