• All our doors are made to such a high specification, they automatically conform to the current building (PART L) regulations. The only other consideration is if trickle ventilation is required.
• All habitable rooms require 5000mm sq of equivalent air
• If you have no other means of venting your room ( i.e a brick vent, mechanical ventilation or another door or window with a trickle vent fitted) then a trickle vent will need to be fitted to your french door.
• Each trickle vent on a window provides 2500mm sq of equilvalent air. Therefore you must ensure that there are two trickle vents fitted to any product in a habitable room.
• If you are unsure please call o24 76 694 162.

  If your window is a replacement:

• If you are replacing an existing door and not changing the structural width of your opening then building regulations do not apply.
• If the door you are replacing has trickle ventilation already fitted, then it is a requirement that a trickle vent is fitted to the replacement door.
• You may choose to have a vent fitted regardless of if being a requirement, to aid background ventilation.
• If you are unsure please call 024 76 694 162.
