Draught proof trickle vents

[omph]

When I close the trickle vent there is a small amount of air that is getting in. Windows are 12 years old. When I shut it I want it to seal completely. Is this possible with newer vent designs ?

I don't think their truly is any, its like asking if theres a draught proof gate. Your not the first person though thats asked though, I get asked couple of times a week during my work especially now with this weather, I say stuff them with cotton wool till summer

Such a shame that ventilation in the UK is an afterthought, and very poorly thought out too at that.

One might ask what is the benefit of ventilation.

Fresh air vs moisture laden air, condensation, damp, mold ect
