I'd watched this video about 20 times before I attempted on my windows. I got a 13mm HSS bit especially for the job, but it would sometimes catch in my uPVC and my hand drill struggled, so in the end I used an oscillating multitool which worked much better. I marked out the template on masking tape as my window frames are black, then cut carefully along the lines. I used a smaller drill bit for the rounded edges. Hope someone else finds this useful. Actually quite straightforward once you know what you're doing.

The film infers that it is not necessary to cut a continuous slot and that it is ok to just drill a series of holes. It is, but beware - for a typical 400mm vent, the holes would have to be spaced with just 1.6mm between them to achieve the mandatory design airflow...

@darronroper 8 месяцев назад
You can drill out, but still need to route the entire gap out using a palm router, or even multi tool. Keeps air flow to the max ( which is what you want) and gives a professional and clean finish. If you are retrofitting for building regs they will fail the works!

@@paulonionshi paul. Each vent manufacture will advise exactly what’s needed to reach the airflow required. Drilling a series of holes still leaves blocked areas. Route it all out. Even if it means dragging a drill bit across the vent area. Some inspectors won’t check and I have had issues with Fensa even when factory routed as they didn’t clock it was a 5000 vent

If you dont drill through the internal metal do they still work? Thanks Tom

Depending on the profile you may get some ventilation but not as effective as drilling through.

looks straightforward, is it always the opening panel that you fit to, or can you also fit to a fixed frame?

@WillsM85
@WillsM85 Год назад
Is there any way to easily test that air is flowing? As you can't drill a hole right through to the other side and have to drill on both sides I'm not sure if I did it right or stopped short. I drilled on both sides until I hit something solid.
@DGPSUK
@DGPSUK Год назад
Hi, you should be able to see daylight, test at night when it's completely dark or hold a flame to the inside where you drilled and see if it gets disturbed. 👍

Hi, Oh sorry I'll double check, it's basically you can't drill all the way through on most profiles as there is a step and it wouldn't come through the other side where it's needed.
