EXTERIORS Titon vent range grows to meet market demand
T
iton’s recent investment in new tooling and assembly machinery is now coming to fruition with a wider choice of options in
its mainline plastic vent ranges. Changes in customer demand since the
revision to the Building Regulations last year have meant the need for a broader range of colours in both ventilators and external canopies. Window and door profiles are now offered in a standard palette of colours, so ventilator manufacturers are expected to keep the majority of these in stock to cope with demand and shorter lead times. Titon’s newest machinery will enable
more flexibility in replenishing those stocks and bring efficiencies to production. In addition three plastic vent sizes, 2000mm2EA, 4000mm2EA and 5000mm2EA mean most applications can be covered in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, with a choice of grilles for use in overhead sections or canopies for use externally. Te increase in demand following on from
the revision to the Ventilation Regulations proved difficult for vent manufacturers, fabricators and specifiers last year but Titon is in a great position to supply according to demand with

stock on the shelf in the majority of options. Titon is a leading provider of innovative ventilation solutions, with over 50 years of experience in the industry. Te company offers a wide range of ventilation products, including mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, whole-house ventilation, and passive ventilation solutions. Titon is committed to providing its customers with innovative products and exceptional service.
