Installing Trickle Vents - Part 6: Oak Casement Window
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- A fiddly part of the window build and possibly not necessary for every project but here we detail the trickle vent installation in the window, featuring a hidden grille on the external side within the rebate. This method looks a lot better than having a canopy screwed to the outside of the window, which can look very mass produced!!

Thanks a lot
I would never have thought of doing it this way, to avoid seeing the vent from outside. I learn something every time from your videos. Thanks.
Glad its of some help Ian, thanks for watching again!!! :)
A great treat for the end of the day....
Hehe! Hopefully interesting!
Great idea here. Unfortunately my local building control will not pass this design on the basis that it reduces airflow.
Such a learning curve, never mind what the project is... Big thanks
Cheers Paul!!! :D Good to hear from you again, thanks
Oh,this must be our lucky week !!! Three videos !!!
HAha, one was a little late but i tried to stick to my wednesday and sunday releases for this series
@@BradshawJoinery well done !!!
I'd never seen these previously - very well executed though. Thanks for the explanation. Cheers
No worries! Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
In the 100 years old houses in Missouri that I lived in as a child we had a trickle vent that was nothing more than a 2" square pivoting cover over a 1.25" dia hole with a screen.
Nice one Vincent, do you have a picture of such a device?
@@BradshawJoinery Those style house window vents are long since gone as windows have been updated; first with aluminum frames and then vinyl frames with double glass. The old house I spent in youth ended up burning down about 25-30 years ago. Old wiring usually the problem and sometimes aluminum wiring got hot and started the fires.
I really appreciate your videos! Casement windows are not common here in the states. Your videos have really helped me visualize some of the things I need to do. Clearly you do an amazing job at things, and your experience and equipment are far beyond my current capability. I am installing some casements in a loft of a small camp/shed. How terrible would it be to simply not apply weather stripping on the top of the sash? Obviously you can't close the vent, but it would add a vent to the top of the window without looking plasticky and it would be efficient labor-wise. The tops of these windows will be close to a 30cm roof overhang.
Hey Jessica, you can do that for sure. Windows of old didn't have any draught proofing so it's would be a similar setup and definitely allow ventilation, just not as controllable. 👍
Hi, firstly thanks very much for your excellent videos. I have learned so much just in this series about making casement windows. I'm wondering if you could tell me what brand and model of trickle vents you use in the video? I'm finding it hard to see one that is right for fitting in this way. Also, could you mention what the name of the particular draught excluder strip you use is called? I can't find that profile either. Thanks in advance for any help.
without looking its probably an aquamac 21 from schelegel and the vent was from Marches ironmongery 425mm is the key search word from memory
@@BradshawJoinery all going well with this build, following your detailed guide. The bit I struggle with is sourcing the hardware as I don't work in the trade. I have found trickle vents and draft excluder. I'm now wading through pages of hinges and wondering what size of hinges you recommend for casements of this size? I'm presuming butt hinges? From looking at the drawings they seem to be about 20mm wide and around 70mm long? Any guidance greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
@@christianweaver7501 3" brass butts from Carlisle brass will be perfect. Go for 2.5 or 3mm leaf thickness if available.
@@BradshawJoinery excellent, many thanks again
Hey, sorry for asking on an old video. But we have a wooden bathroom window, can I fit a trickle vent to the casement window easily enough? I.e. not into the frame itself?
Yeah anywhere you can drill through from outside/inside and can house the vent in place 👍
I had to Google Trickle Vent to learn about them. lol
I'd never heard of them either. Nice way of getting air circulating in the room, without having to open the windows every day. Cheers, David
Yeah i think they are great. Alot of joiners moan about them being unnecessary, which in very old houses, there are a lot of other draughts to do the job,, but on some renovations, they really are necessary! We always leave them open in out house!
@@BradshawJoinery here in North Central Texas we think of blower door scores and Air to Air Heat Exchangers.
A really nice way of doing the vents - I'm struggling to find the flush fitting grills you use though... what product do you use?
They are aluminium grille from marches ironmongery
Do you have to put trickle vents in doors too?
yes, but depends on the building and the requirements. it more specific to the building than it used to be. You may not need vents in some circumstances.
