From 15th June 2023, all windows have a mandatory requirement to meet the revised Document F of Building Regulations. Carl F Groupco has ensured ongoing compliance is straightforward by stocking an extensive inventory of Part F compliant trickle vents.
With the period for the transitional arrangement for Approved Document F in England ending on 15th June 2023, Carl F Groupco has ensured ongoing compliance is straightforward by stocking an extensive inventory of Part F compliant trickle vents.
John King, Sales Director of the leading independent hardware supplier, said: “From 15th June 2023 all windows have a mandatory requirement to meet the revised Document F of Building Regulations. The new Part F of Building Regulations requires additional ventilation to circulate air in living spaces. While this can be achieved in many ways, by far the most economical and practical solution is to use trickle vents. We see this very clearly reflected in our sales with a near 50% rise in sales of trickle vents year-on-year which is likely to increase further now the transition period has ended.”
Carl F Groupco stocks a comprehensive range of Part F compliant trickle vents from leading manufacturers, meaning fabricators have several options to choose from. The range includes the popular Glazpart Link Vent MK II providing ventilation to homes without the need to open a window. Also available is a range of trickle vents from RW Simon, Yale and Greenwood, including their acoustic variants as part of its range of quality window and door components.
For next level sound and ventilation, Carl F Groupco also stocks the AEROPAC Sound Insulated Ventilator and the AEROVITAL Ventilator and Heat Recovery Unit from Siegenia, which both provide alternative methods to achieve Part F compliance across new build and refurbishment projects.
Alongside the products, Carl F Groupco also offers support as required. John said: “As a responsible hardware distributor, we can help our customers with the advice and guidance they need with these regulations. It’s something we know fabricators and installers are finding valuable.”
Carl F Groupco has built its name on providing the products and high level of service its customers need. It offers an extensive range of premium quality window and door hardware components which are supported by an unwavering commitment to customer service that means it can be a value-added hardware partner.
Its supportive approach to the changes to Building Regulations and stocking the largest selection of Part F compliant products is a perfect example of this ethos in action.
