New Single Glazed Aluminium Vents

Enhance your glazing applications with our state-of-the-art single glazed opening vent design, offering superior control over your internal environment.  Our latest innovation features drained, low-profile opening vents, welded using cutting-edge automated robotic technology. This advanced method surpasses the industry standard crimp or cleated designs, ensuring a more robust and weatherproof solution.

Most glazing applications benefit from effective ventilation, giving users greater control over their internal environment.  Our single glazed opening vents, suitable for 6-10mm thick infills, are designed to be low-profile and offer slender sightlines compared to other roof vents available elsewhere.  They are operable with a wide variety of manual, remote-controlled, and electrical gearing.

Key Features:

  • Durability: Robotic welding enhances strength and weather resistance.
  • Compatibility: Accommodates 6mm – 10mm thick infills.
  • Aesthetics: Slim sightlines provide a sleek, modern appearance.
  • Versatility: Operable with manual, remote-controlled, and electrical gearing.
  • Integration: Seamlessly provides day-to-day ventilation, whether integrated with Building Management Systems (BMS) or one of our stocked weather control systems.
