Fresh Blood in the FENESTRATION Industry!
The VENTI Group is a new player in the fenestration market, bringing a fresh perspective on the importance of ventilation in window and door manufacturing. With our flagship product, the FLUXO, we want to make the manufacturing process easier and quicker for manufacturers. How are we doing this? By presenting FLUXO as a better alternative to trickle vents! Through partnering with Fenestration manufacturers, we can help with part F compliance whilst promoting the benefits of continuous mechanical ventilation.
In this blog, we will explore;
- The significance of ventilation in fenestration.
- The limitations of trickle vents, and
- The advantages of FLUXO – the perfect alternative to trickle vents.
- How the VENTI Group is leveraging their association with the Coastal Group to educate the market and transform both living conditions & health, through great ventilation.
The Importance of Ventilation in Fenestration
Ventilation is often viewed as a low priority in the fenestration market, with most manufacturers focusing on achieving weather and air tightness. However, ventilation is critical in maintaining healthy living conditions and preventing issues like dampness and mould.
Part F Compliance
The UK Building Regulations Part F sets out the requirements for building ventilation, including the minimum air flow rates for habitable rooms and the need for background ventilation. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in health issues, structural damage, and legal consequences.
The Limitations of Trickle Vents
Trickle vents are small openings in windows or doors that allow for passive ventilation. While they are a standard solution for meeting ventilation requirements, they have several limitations that could be better.
- Firstly, trickle vents do not move air actively, they rely on natural ventilation. Natural ventilation can be inconsistent and inadequate. In contrast, the FLUXO is a mechanical ventilation system that actively moves air, and ensures a consistent flow whilst maintaining the desired air quality and temperature.
- Secondly, trickle vents can be a source of unwanted noise and drafts. This can lead to discomfort for occupants and reduce the overall effectiveness of the ventilation system. Conversely, the FLUXO is designed to be quiet and efficient, and provides a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
- Finally, trickle vents can compromise the weather and air tightness of the window or door. Installing a large opening in the frame can negate the efforts made to achieve high temperature and air tightness levels. The FLUXO is a discreet and efficient vent that can be seamlessly integrated into any scheme without compromising integrity of doors and windows.
The Advantages of the FLUXO
The FLUXO is a revolutionary mechanical ventilation system that offers several advantages over traditional trickle vents.
-
Firstly, it provides a consistent and reliable fresh air flow, which maintains a healthy indoor environment and prevents issues like dampness and mould.
-
Secondly, it is energy efficient and can help reduce heating and cooling costs. The FLUXO uses a heat exchanger to recover up to 90% of the heat from the outgoing air, which it then uses to warm up the incoming air. The result? Less energy is needed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
-
Thirdly, the FLUXO is discreet and unobtrusive. It easily integrates into the room which ensures a seamless and aesthetically pleasing look, and avoids spoiling the look of doors and windows. This contrasts trickle vents, which can be unsightly and disruptive to the overall design of the window or door.
