Why do I need trickle ventilators?
To improve indoor air quality and reduce condensation on window glass and frames. As indicated above, the trickle ventilator allows a small amount of fresh air to enter a home or building plus allows stagnant air to exit. This method of air exchange improves the quality of the indoor air. Tighter homes and buildings with a minimum amount of air penetrating can have real indoor air quality problems. Poor indoor air can result in accumulation of indoor contaminants resulting in sickness or illness. Air can become trapped inside and becomes stagnant causing what is known as the "Sick Building Syndrome". A small amount of fresh air can dramatically improve conditions in "Sick Buildings". Condensation and moisture also trapped in tightly constructed homes and buildings usually collects first on the surface of glass in windows. The flow of air generated by a "trickle ventilator" slowly clears normal condensation. This small flow of air through a trickle ventilator works like the defroster in an automobile - slower but equally as effective.
