Ventilation and new windows

New windows can change air movement within a home. Consider ventilation in all occupied rooms early in the process. The suitable approach depends on the building, existing equipment and how the people living there use the different spaces.

Consider the whole home

Describe existing ventilation arrangements and any rooms with moisture or stale air. Discuss air supply, movement between rooms and extraction together. Window choices can then be coordinated with the current system and any improvements planned for the property.

Choose suitable provisions

Window vents, opening sections and mechanical systems serve different functions. Ask which combination suits your home and applicable local requirements. Include noise, operation and maintenance when ventilation components are proposed as part of the window specification.

Operation and upkeep

Ask for a demonstration of how the chosen provisions are operated and cleaned. Keep openings accessible and discuss signs that attention is needed. Store instructions with the window documentation so ventilation remains part of everyday use after handover.

How will fresh air enter?
How will moist air leave?
How do I maintain the provisions?

Is occasionally opening a window enough?

Airing and planned ongoing ventilation have different roles. Have your home's overall ventilation needs assessed.

Are window vents always needed?

That depends on the ventilation system and local situation. Have the complete arrangement coordinated for your home.
