The solution to unattractive trickle vents – Liniar’s seamless vented head drip

Liniar, the UK’s leading PVCu systems company and a subsidiary of Quanex, is pleased to launch another UK-first – the patent pending vented head drip.
Available in white and foiled finishes, the new component offers a seamless colour finish which maintains the stylish appearance of windows and doors – and unlike other solutions, Liniar’s vent replaces the exterior trickle vent, rather than just covering it up.

Introducing an alternative that complies with current and future building regulations and also ensures a seamless finish, Liniar’s Design and Development Director Chris Armes comments,

Liniar’s vented head drip is manufactured in the UK and is fully tested to BS EN 13141-1, with a patent pending. The vented head drip can either be installed across the full length of the compatible windows and doors for enhanced weather performance or alternatively trimmed with end caps.
