Plastic windows help keep heat indoors, do not let the cold and sound. But at the same time significantly reduce the influx of fresh air. This omission of the designers can be corrected by setting the trim valve on the windows. The main task of the device is the restoration of natural ventilation in a commercial or residential room.
The advantages of using plastic windows rated many residents of apartments and private houses. Comfortable, beautiful and practical windows make it possible to reduce heat loss and increase the noise insulation of the room. However, along with advantages, consumers noted one substantial minus - a lack of ventilation. This factor worsens the microclimate of the room - the humidity increases, the air becomes a bit, and the people who are in the house begin to experience the lack of oxygen. As a result, mold appears on the walls and slopes of the room, and the concentration of toxic substances increases.
For normal existence it is necessary to restore sufficient circulation of air. The airing of the apartment by opening the window forces to zero all the advantages of sealed "plastic" and significantly reduces the effectiveness of heating. Solve the issue allow the supply valves.
A trim valve is a device installed on the top of the window in a horizontal position that performs the exhaust function. The valve supports the optimal microclimate in the room, eliminates the condensate on the double-glazed and frame.
Features The use of the supply valve on plastic windows is due to a number of benefits:
Competently to equip the window ventilation, you can only having a complete picture of the mechanism for the operation of the supply valve.
When installing the valve, a part of the rubber seal on the window frame and sash is removed. A less thick special seal is installed on this place. Together with the new seal on the window sash, a trim valve is mounted - the main element of passive ventilation.
The air from the street is suused by the inside of the room, and the warm air through the exhaust vetches is pushed out. Air circulation occurs due to the difference of pressures. The natural air exchange is valid if the air temperature is not higher than + 5 ° C. In hot weather, ventilation functions when forced hood.
Window ventilation valve consists of the following nodes:
Basic conditions for the operation of the supply valve:
Council. The work of exhaust ventilation apartments can be checked alone. The door to the room is tightly close and open the window in the room is maximally distant from the ventilation channel. To the grid applied a sheet of paper. If it does not fall and is held with the air flow, then with the hood everything is in order
Different models and variations of window supply valves a lot. They differ from each other in different criteria.
By manufacturing material:
By way of management:
When manually controlled, the valve is equipped with a special rope. The automatic valve is more convenient in operation. The device independently determines the need for opening / closing ventilation hole. Adjustment indicators are set in accordance with the level of humidity and indoor pressure drops.
Important! Controlling the supply valve manually a little risky. The desired level is selected by trial and errors. In addition, there is a risk of freezing when improper adjustment in winter time
According to the method of air intake in the house:
An interesting version of the valve knob, which is installed instead of an ordinary window handle. Such a device has several advantages:
The selection of the supply valve from a wide range of models is a rather difficult task. Consider general characteristics Products of the most popular supplied ventilation manufacturers. After all, conscientious companies in the overwhelming majority of cases produce a quality product.
French company "HOMEAREA" produces supply valves Aereco.. The principle of operation of the supply devices is based on the change in the passage section depending on the level of humidity in the room. Air circulation is carried out under the condition of mechanical or natural exhaust.
The most common models of the manufacturer:
Distribution valve for windows Air Box.produced in three sets: Standart, Comfort without milling and Comfort-S.
The Comfort model is installed in two ways - with milling / without milling. Milling - drill or drunk at the top of the vents of the ventilation channel.
Important! The milling is twice as long as the performance of the supply valve. But usually solve the problem of ventilation allows the standard installation - without milling
COMFORT-S valve is designed to install on the deaf window. Installation of such a valve is quite laborious, as it requires drilling a steel reinforced profile. Typically, the installation of the COMFORT-S valve occurs in the factory.
Passive Venting Valve - Installation Regel-air.. Air ventilation occurs automatically. Depending on the temperature in the room and on the street, the device independently regulates the degree of ventilation.

The Regel-Air climatic valve has the following advantages:
The vent valve can be installed on the window in two ways: with perforation and without. Consider both options.

Consider how to install a trim valve on the plastic window, without resorting to perforations:
In this case, the gap between the valve and the sealant on the frame works as a ventilation channel.

The supply valve can be controlled manually and automatically. Automation - more convenient and is usually supplemented by a hygrorgulation sensor. With a decrease in humidity, the air flow is reduced, and on the contrary - air circulation increases with increasing humidity in the room.
When manually controlled, you can allow errors that sometimes lead to the supercooling of the room and the frost of the climatic valve.
Important! In severe frosts, the trim valve can not be completely overlapped
Caring for the ventilation valve comes down to cleaning every 6 months. Dust from the outer visor can be removed using a vacuum cleaner, and the housing is wiped with a damp cloth.
To clean it is impossible to use chemicals. In addition, it is necessary to refrain from cleaning the device under the running water stream. When conducting indoors repair work The valve must be covered - it will protect it from dirt and dust.
A trimming valve on the PVC windows is practical and necessary acquisition that improves the microclimate in the house. You can install the supply valve to plastic windows with your own hands. Method of installation depends on the valve model and its configuration.
The system presented in the market can be divided into three categories.
The device is mounted in the upper part of the opening flap or vertical impost. For installation, you have to remove part of the accessories and milling the holes in the metal-plastic profile. If not confident in your abilities, it is better to entrust the work of professionals.
Structurally, the system consists of two blocks. One mounted from the street. It serves simultaneously air intake and a visor who protects the channel from precipitation. The second block is put on the inside. It contains a mechanism that regulates the intensity of the ventilation.
The main advantage of such a design becomes high throughput. Ventcanal length varies in the range of 170-400 mm, and width 12-16 mm. This is enough to organize a microclimate in large rooms.
They are integrated into the window profile at the stage of manufacturing the frame. Install their postfactum will not work. In everyday life, such systems are not used due to excessive bandwidth. They are usually used for the ventilation of large offices and trading halls.
Products are indispensable in solid glazing pavilions, when there is no possibility to make ventkanals in the bearing structures. Unlike wall models, their disadvantage is low sound and thermal insulation.
Became popular thanks to the cheapness and simplicity of installation. Install them can be independently literally for half an hour.
Put a product on the top of the sash in the gap. Fresh air to the room enters through a small slot in the seal. The design is very simple, but provides for the possibility of adjusting the air flow.
It is useless to put such devices in the hall or a large living room. They will not provide proper air exchange. It is better to use them on, kitchen or small bedroom.
On the housing of such devices, a handle or engine is provided. Its movement changes the position of the flap, which means the intensity of the air flow. Such designs are reliable and durable. There is almost nothing to break into them. However, there are a number of shortcomings:
Such products have a number of benefits:
We list the most important criteria for which you need to pay attention to when choosing:
There are several varieties of products for domestic products. The rating of popular models includes French and russian production:
We will tell you about the installation of their systems.
The device installs on the top of the sash. Work in the following sequence:
Optionally, the product can be supplied with an outdoor air intake. It is installed in it a filter element that delays atmospheric dust. Step by step guide I bring in the video.
The devices are designed to automatically regulate the microclimate. They are integrated into the frame, thanks to which the larger air exchange is provided. When installing, the integrity of the profiles is disturbed, so you need to be careful. If you doubt your abilities, it is better to use the services of competent specialists. We carry out work in the following sequence:
You can clearly see the installation process in the video.
If you need to air small premises Or get rid of the fogging of glasses, simple constructions are suitable for the type Air-Box. For autonomous control of microclimate better decision Aerco products are becoming products. And the tips and recommendations will help you install the valve for ventilation with your own hands.
Metal-plastic designs provide high gyliza tightness, they do not miss outsided sounds and cold in winter. With all its merits, it is worth noting the main disadvantage - a significant reduction in the inflow of fresh air. By installing a trimming vent valve for plastic windows, you can solve this problem.
We are talking about the product with small holes located in the top of the sash. With their help normalizes air exchange in the room. Small ventilation designs prevent the penetration of street noise, providing inner space long-awaited silence, peace and peace. The trimming valve is suitable not only for plastic, but also wooden, aluminum windows.
In most openings, the closing density is easy to adjust. For warm pores, it is better to set out the sash in such a way that a small free space remains between the frame and the glass, and the oxygen could freely penetrate into the room.
Possessing certain practical skills and adhering to the instructions, each owner can organize an effective in the house or apartment. But what is the most pleasant - the window supply valves can be installed personally without the help of specialists.
Many have a natural question - how effective are these small structures for air exchange? Before purchasing the supply valves, experts advise to check their effectiveness carefully examined specificationsConsulted with the seller, it will not be superfluous to read comments of those who have already bought them.
Check the effectiveness is simple enough, and it is not at all necessary to purchase ventilation solutions. All that is required is to remove the seal fixed on the window sash. It should not be removed or trimmed completely, enough so that he just hung in a free position for some time (optimally 2-3 days). By their expiration, pay attention to a number of criteria and parameters:
After completing the experiment, the window seal returns to the previous place.
The installation of the supply valve on the plastic window will certainly lead to a decrease in the temperature mode in the room. It is determined by the fact that the cold air from the street enters the room. If we are talking about an efficiently functioning heating system, you can see the difference within 3-4 degrees.
In the absence of an effect, it is advisable to abandon this product in favor of the supply valve installed in the wall.
For competent and high-quality equipment of the supply valves on metal-plastic or wooden windowsshould carefully examine the mechanism of their work. This is one of the most responsible stages, since subsequently it will be necessary to do a hole in the frame of a length of about 30 cm and a width of at least 1 cm. At the final stage it will cover the body of the ventilation instrument.
Dismantle the supply design without opening the slot at the top of the profile will not work. The decide on the installation is assumed argumentally and weigly.
Supplicable valves for plastic windows are an important component of passive. Through a small hole, cold air is closed from the street and the direction of it inside the housing. Warm oxygen is discharged through ventkanals. Physical laws lead these masses in motion, due to which the functioning of products at air temperature from +5 degrees is ensured.
By the sultry summer, passive air exchange works exclusively in the presence of forced exhaust.
The valve on the plastic window works effectively subject to several conditions:
Many owners are concerned about the question - does the ventilation valve displays for plastic windows? Such an undesirable effect is possible, but only if the installation was carried out by amateurs. Even with severe frosts, close the hole will not completely work.
Do not be afraid of increasing the noise level in a residential space after installing the ventilation hole on the window will end. Fresh oxygen enters through a small hole, so the reduction of noise insulation will be insignificant.
Install the ventilation design is easy. An experienced wizard is enough for this 30-40 minutes.
Pre-prepare several tools:
To mount the supply valve, it is necessary to dismantle part of the window seal
A trimming valve on plastic windows with their own hands is installed only after the preliminary marking of the folding sash. For this, you need a ruler. The sequence of work is determined by the design features of the valve. In most cases, it is enough to replace the standard seal on the complete.
As for other models, no more than 1 holes in the profile design are required for PVC windows. The most preferred option is the first, since it is very problematic to do a smooth and neat crack.
Manufacturers companies in 99% Complete products detailed step by step instructionsWith which you can quickly equip the window on the relevant solution.
Step-by-step instructions for the installation of the supply valve are presented in the video:
Under the milling it means cutting a small hole in the window opening unit.
To work, you will need several materials and tools:
To forced ventilation In plastic windows provided the optimal level of air exchange, it is important to clearly comply with the following sequence of actions.
The designs described above are perfectly coping with the question of an effective air exchange indoor. And even the smallest apartment from the "Thermos" can be turned into a comfortable housing with an impeccable level of ventilation.
The owners focus on the fact that such devices are inappropriate to use in those regions of the country where strong frosts are rapidly replaced by increasing temperature. In this case, it is formed on the valve to be formed, and the unit will not be able to work in principle.
The appointment of the supply valve is the submission to the room of the outdoor fresh air. Modern apartments in most completely devoid of supply air, which is calculated by the work of ventilation exhaust channels in the kitchen, in the bathroom or toilet. For high-quality exhaust work, the predominance of internal pressure above the outdoor is possible. The inflow was made through the looseness of window and door blocks, but modern designs have a high degree of tightness and are not allowed inside the air, making the work of natural ventilation impossible.
The supply valves provide an outdoor access inside the premises, normalize work and create high-quality air exchange.
The operation of the supply valve consists in supplying outdoor air through specially done in the outer wall or the flap of the plastic window Ventilation channel. The flow of flow is carried out in a natural way due to the pressure drop inside and outside.
The volume of the supply stream is adjusted by the damper that increases or reducing the lumen of the ventilation channel. Adjustment is performed manually using the handle on the inner (wall) part of the valve.

The main feature of the supply valves is in the absence of the need to open windows. This plays an important role for people with various respiratory diseases or allergic suffering. The possibility of constant ventilation in the absence of annoying or harmful components of air is important for such people, it allows to provide a qualitative composition of internal air and comfort for tenants.
Dear models with complex functionality are able to provide the highest possible influx of fresh air with predetermined flow parameters. There are models with a programmable mode of operation. At the same time, almost any type of appliances can work as a conventional wall valve, without connecting to the power supply.
Wall valves allow the maximum ventilation effect of the premises. They are installed on the surface outdoor Wall In a convenient location, they are often mounted above the central heating radiators so that the trim air is heated and reduced the temperature inside the rooms. The valve device consists of three main elements:
outdoor decorative cap or ventilation grille
air duct installed in through hole outer wall
the main unit of the supply valve in which the filter is installed, sometimes - fan and other equipment
Wall valves operating on the principle of natural flow flow, are only suitable for relatively warm regions of the country. Cold air in frost weather will create prerequisites for the formation of condensate, icing icing and walls around the device. In addition, cold air can be a premises, which will require increased heating costs.
The usual supply of one valve is about 30 m 3 / h, which corresponds to the hour norm for one person. This should be borne in mind, purchasing the device for the apartment. More advanced and expensive models are capable of supplying a much larger stream volume, have a mass of additional functions - heating, multistage filtering, different speed modes.
Supply valves for plastic windows are represented by devices installed on the top crossbar of the sash. Air supply is performed through the hole in the frame. Outside, a decorative cap with grille from the penetration of small garbage, a poplar fluff or insects is installed. From the inside, the body with a dust filter is installed.
Fresh air supply is made in the bottom-up direction, which eliminates the possibility of the appearance of drafts and allows you to slightly warm the cold outer air from the heat of the airbag of the heated inner air.
The disadvantage of such valves is considered education Bridge Cold At the location of the supply air to the room. It is inflounted hased, heavily cools the body that contributes to the formation of condensate and icing icing.
Window valves, except those already considered, have another embodiment. On the outer part of the window sash, the rubber seal is clipped. The valve is installed on the top of the sash, attaching with three screws on a plastic quarter. Air supply is made through a slot formed by the absence of a rubber seal.
The device is very simple, but does not require drilling or milling plastic sash, and the replacement of the sealer, if necessary, no work is not difficult. The device allows you to carry out the simultaneous filtering of the incoming airflow, although the quality of the preparation is such a valve can not move with more advanced models of wall plants.
Wall Valves Domzent are designed For installation in a pass-through hole in the outer wall. The design of the valve is designed for installation over heating radiators. Air supply occurs in the longitudinal direction (parallel to the wall plane), which allows the stream to warm from the heat of the battery. This installation completely eliminates the wetting of the walls, icing or flowing too cold air. There may be only regions with very frosty winters (-40 ° C or so). An additional function of the valve, the DOMMENT is noise insulation that reduces the level of external sounds to almost zero.
The design of the valve consists of an outer lattice with a mosquito net, an air duct and the main unit located indoors above the heating radiator. High-quality air filtration ensures the absence of allergens, shallow dust, wool particles and other harmful or unwanted elements.
The full analogue of this model is the KIV-125 valve. A trim valve of a conventional design without additional elements designed for natural ventilating rooms. Is made of out thermal insulation materials, what allows to reduce the risk of icing in winter. This significantly distinguishes the CPV 125 from the window valves, prone to icing or the appearance of condensate.
To control the flap there is a special handle, the rotation of which is reached opening or closing the lumen of the ventilation channel. If the valve is too high, the adjustment is made using a special cord attached to the handle.
The design of the valve is practically no different from the base model - an outer ventilation grille, an insulated duct, the main unit with a filter and control handle. The appearance of the device is quite attractive and neat. The valve has a compact size and does not stand out on the wall surface, providing high-quality execution of its tasks.
The choice of wall valve is influenced by different factors:
the need and need of premises
climatic conditions of the region
room sizes, number of people
preferences and wishes of tenants
financial opportunities
Among the many design options to the highest quality and advanced installations are customary brizers of the Tion family. They are leading in terms of price and quality ratio, user feedback unanimously give them palm championship in all positions.
For conventional air ventilation without the need for additional functionality, you can use conventional window or wall devices that do not need to be connected to the power supply, easy to install and maintain.
It must be borne in mind that the cost of the supply ventilation units It begins with 16,000 rubles, which significantly limits their use. The final choice is usually due to the combination of the possibility and necessity.
The installation of window valves is to drill (milling) through the hole in the upper horizontal window sash horizontal partition. Alternatively, only the removal of the seal seal can only be removed, which significantly reduces the intervention in the window design. The valve body is installed on the frame and fastened with screws, after which the device is ready to use.

Installation of wall valves is much more complicated. The main stage of installation becomes the drilling of the outer wall under the plastic duct. The diameter of the opening is about 12 cm, which requires the use of a special tool. Usually used diamond drillinstalled in the electric drill on a special feed rail. It provides a given tool position and feeds. The channel must have a small slope outside within 3-5 ° for the flow of condensate or rainwater. The work is complex, it is not recommended independently.
After the manufacture of the hole is made of installation and insulated. At this stage, it is important to ensure the heat insulation of the tube to exclude cold entering the apartment. Then hanging out internal block, fits tight to the wall. After that, it remains only to connect the device to the power supply network and configure the necessary operation mode.
Plastic windows appeared with us quite recently - the first workshops for their production in the CIS countries appeared in the early 90s of the last century. Nevertheless, we are already hard to present your life without plastic glass windows. The main thing is their dignity - they do not let street noise and cold air in the apartment. That's just at the same time we lose the most important - natural air exchange. You can correct this disadvantage using the supply valves on the windows.
PVC windows are good: with them heat, quiet and cozy. However, with plastic windows leaves much to be desired. Without proper ventilation, the tenants risk earning "side effects" like incessant fatigue and. Of course, you can ventilate the room to provide a flow of fresh air, but this solution is difficult to be considered successful: in windy or cold weather, it is quite problematic to keep windows with open windows. In addition, the air in the room arrives uncontrollably.
Accordingly, for a comfortable stay in the house there is some kind of device with which air will continuously enter the room in the required quantity. For this purpose, and were created. One of their species, window valves, is embedded in the glass, so it is formed a narrow slot that regulates air supply.
The modern market presents a large range of ventlipans. Typically share several types of devices.
Aeroclap with manual control is cheaper automatic, but adjust the air flow manually difficult: because the required amount of fresh air strongly depends on the number of people and the condition of the microclimate indoors.
The automatic valve on the window is more convenient. A sensor is built into it, which determines the level of relative humidity in the room. Due to the sensor, the device itself adjusts the amount of incoming air and determines when opening or close the vent hole.
Most a budget option. Fresh air is served from the street into the house through special holes in the frame or sash. To install the valve, you do not need to dismantle the windows. Street noise practically does not penetrate the house. The main disadvantage of this type is low bandwidth: the room will still need periodic ventilation.
With slotted ventilation, the air is supplied through the hole, the width of which is 12-16 mm, and the length is from 170 to 400 mm. Some models consist of one universal block, and some are of two blocks: one is installed on the inner side of the window, and the second is on the outside. The slot valves are high throughput, and the windows dismantling are not required for their installation, so they are quite popular on the market.
Mounted instead of the usual handle of the plastic window. When installing the appearance of the window does not change in any way. Also, often the valve handle has a built-in filter element that blocks dust.
This species Among others are most effective. However, without dismantling the window can not do: the dimensions of the window flaps and the frames need to be "customized" under the device. There is practically no protection against street noise. Therefore, this species is more often used in warehouses and factories than in ordinary apartments.
According to the material of the manufacturer of the model are divided into wooden, metal and plastic.
If you do not count the onset valve mounting, there are two ways to install it: with milling (in the window block will have to do a hole; most likely you will need help from specialists) and without milling. The second method is the easiest, with it, you can install the valve on the PVC windows with your own hands in a matter of minutes.
You will need:
Ventclapan reviews are most different - from enthusiastic to aggressive-disappointed. Almost all users mark the same pros and cons.
Benefits:
Disadvantages:
As we see, the supply valves on plastic windows have both pros and cons. The question is naturally arising: is it worth the sheepskin? What else are there, which will provide the influx of fresh air and oxygen?
To compare, first it is worth identifying comparison criteria:
The climatic valve for plastic windows is the simplest and budget solution to ensure ventilation. Its installation does not require special equipment, through it fresh air enters the house, it does not make noise - only slightly increases the level of noise penetrating the room from the street. However, the possibilities of the device are not so great. Its performance is quite low - up to 35 m3 / h. The device is not equipped with filters and heating element.
Similar device has a wall trimming valve. To install it, you need to do a hole in the wall. As a rule, the performance of the wall valve is higher than that of the window (up to 50 m3 / h). Some models are equipped with a coarse filter, which prevents large dust indoors, fluff and insects into the air. Due to the errors when installing the wall on which the valve is placed, can freeze at low air temperature; No air heating system.
The mechanical ventilator is similar to a wall trimming valve, but it necessarily has a fan and more efficient filters. The performance of such a device is limited only by the performance of the fan (40-120 m3 / h). Nevertheless, such an aircraft does not clean the air from small dust and allergens; He also does not have a climate control function.
- the most effective intake ventilation system Among previous options. The advantages of the bizer are the presence of climate control and three-stage system Air filtration. The recycling mode is also present in the brizer, that is, the device can clean the air inside the room. The device is mounted by experts by doing a small hole in the wall overlooking the street, and takes about an hour. The cost of the bizer is significantly higher than the remaining ventilation.
Below we led a brief comparative table of four ventilation devices (characteristics may differ depending on the model).
