What Are Window Trickle Vents?

Window trickle vents are small vents built into window and door frames that allow a constant flow of fresh air indoors. They feature a narrow slit with an adjustable flap for opening or closing. Designed to stay open for passive ventilation, they help reduce moisture and prevent mould in airtight homes. Many building regulations now require these vents on new or replacement windows to ensure proper airflow and energy efficiency.
