New windows... Vents!

I've had new windows and after a catalogue of errors they corrected finally I'm now wondering about the actual windows themselves. They've got vents in. Nobody mentioned it or asked me about it. I assumed naively it must be a new reg thing but on reading up, it's not.

Tonight it's really windy and the vents are really draughty and God it's so loud. Whooshy windy blowy noise around the vent. I'm so fed up.

I signed the job off as ok today as they'd fixed the list but this is something else now.

Is this normal? I wanted new windows to make house warmer and quieter not the reverse! 😭

This is government guidance only. I had a look on the Fensa website and there are "non Fensa" window fitters. I would say bollox to the vents above the sliding windows.

I'm so fed up with it.

Fensa says it has to be done to comply with gov regs
