Best way to seal trickle vent.

[maniac886]

Hi All,

Looking for some advice in regards to sealing one of the flush trickle vents we have above one of the windows. The vent itself is knackered so is letting a draught into one of the bedrooms. Rather than replace i'd rather just seal it. There won't be any issues with condensation as the other vent is functional. Will silicone sealant do the job?

Cheers

Thanks for the replies. I don't want to cause issues down the line so have taken the old unit out and ordered a replacement from Triton. Hopefully that will sort out the draught but I suppose I could tape over as well.
