what kind of worker should i hire to install a vented hood? i need the hood to be vented through a double glazed window in kitchen. so i think I'll need some kind of glass worker. but i don't know what qualification worker i should look for?

The film infers that it is not necessary to cut a continuous slot and that it is ok to just drill a series of holes. It is, but beware - for a typical 400mm vent, the holes would have to be spaced with just 1.6mm between them to achieve the mandatory design airflow...

You can drill out, but still need to route the entire gap out using a palm router, or even multi tool. Keeps air flow to the max ( which is what you want) and gives a professional and clean finish. If you are retrofitting for building regs they will fail the works!

Thank you

I'd watched this video about 20 times before I attempted on my windows. I got a 13mm HSS bit especially for the job, but it would sometimes catch in my uPVC and my hand drill struggled, so in the end I used an oscillating multitool which worked much better. I marked out the template on masking tape as my window frames are black, then cut carefully along the lines. I used a smaller drill bit for the rounded edges. Hope someone else finds this useful. Actually quite straightforward once you know what you're doing.

looks straightforward, is it always the opening panel that you fit to, or can you also fit to a fixed frame?

You could always pack the vent with soft foam or sponge to stop any loud noises from the wind and still get some ventilation 😉

Is there any way to easily test that air is flowing? As you can't drill a hole right through to the other side and have to drill on both sides I'm not sure if I did it right or stopped short. I drilled on both sides until I hit something solid.

Hi, you should be able to see daylight, test at night when it's completely dark or hold a flame to the inside where you drilled and see if it gets disturbed. 👍

Depending on the profile you may get some ventilation but not as effective as drilling through.

Do new windows come with pre installed vents cause 6iu never see these on new windows

Hi, they can yes but it is an optional extra, normally they are required in new builds though?.

Instead of drilling multiple holes all the way along, could you use a multitool?

Hi, Oh sorry I'll double check, it's basically you can't drill all the way through on most profiles as there is a step and it wouldn't come through the other side where it's needed.
