The Vexed Issue of the Trickle Vent

VEKA Plc’s Technical Director, Paul Kennington

As consultations around the Government’s new Future Buildings Standard close, VEKA Plc’s Technical Director, Paul Kennington, applauds plans to make homes more energy efficient but questions whether the vexed issue of ventilation has been solved.

The results are in; over the last two years, the Government has been running consultations that first covered domestic new build through the Future Homes Standard, with their responses now published, and a second round of discussions covering Future Building Standards. The responses from industry are now being considered, with new legislation expected by June 2022.

The changes are designed to improve the energy performance of new homes, as part of the UK’s commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Existing homes will also be subject to the new higher standards, with more energy efficient replacements and repairs designed to make homes warmer and reduce bills.

Overall, the likely changes will pose few problems and VEKA is already set up to achieve any new, improved U values. The big issue, however, is likely to be ventilation, and the continuing saga of the trickle vent. …»



Breaking point?

Dave Broxton, Managing Director, Bohle

Bohle has said glass processors are losing tens of thousands of pounds each year to poor edge quality, something that makes even less sense at a time when product is in critically short supply.

With the UK glass sector reeling from the disruption caused by COVID-1, plus lower product availability caused by allocation, the industry is still wasting hundreds of thousands of square metres of product each year by using the wrong or worn glass cutting wheels.

Dave Broxton, Managing Director, Bohle, said that this was completely counter-intuitive at a time when glass supply was under significant pressure.

“It doesn’t ever make sense to scrap tonnes of glass each year if you can avoid it but that’s exactly what a lot of glass processors are doing, simply for the price of a cutting wheel , which is inconsequential in the scheme of things,” he says…»
