The first generation \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1972 William Irwin and his wife Beatrice formed Ryton\u2019s Ventilation Equipment Ltd, operating out of a small office and garage storage space in Purley, Surrey.\u00a0 Ryton\u2019s had developed the first-ever dedicated cavity vents, the Slim Vent\u00ae<\/sup> Minor and Slim Vent\u00ae<\/sup> Major, at a time when modern methods of construction meant efficient cavity ventilation was becoming crucial in the prevention of condensation.\u00a0 Architects and contractors quickly saw the benefits of this pioneering method of ensuring neat and effective cavity ventilation, and a new industry standard for using preformed perpend vents was born.\u00a0 Sadly, William died in Ryton\u2019s early years, however, Beatrice continued to successfully run the company until 1982, when it was taken over by their eldest son Roger Irwin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The second generation \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1982 Roger and his wife Jackie, a fellow Director, relocated the company to Kettering, Northamptonshire, renting a small office and stock room.\u00a0 In the beginning, Jackie ran the office processing orders and sending out company information, whilst Roger had a day job as an accountant, working long into the evenings on plans to expand the business.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t long before Roger left accounting to concentrate on Rytons full time (although his job remained open for him, he never went back).<\/p>\n The next two and a half decades saw the company (now named Rytons Building Products Ltd) grow exponentially.\u00a0 Moving to purpose-built office and warehouse spaces, developing a full product range, investing in manufacturing, securing stockists, growing admin, sales, and marketing teams, becoming a market leader and trusted name for quality natural ventilation products in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The third generation \u2026 What happened to those original two products?<\/strong><\/p>\n We are happy to report that Rytons Slim Vent\u00ae<\/sup> Minor and Rytons Slim Vent\u00ae<\/sup> Major still form part of our cavity vents range today, a true testament to the original idea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row rt_row_background_width=”fullwidth” rt_row_content_width=”default” rt_row_style=”default-style” rt_row_borders=”” rt_row_paddings=”true” rt_bg_effect=”classic” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”cover” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll” rt_bg_video_format=”self-hosted” rt_bg_color=”#b0802d”][vc_column rt_wrp_col_paddings=”false” rt_border_top=”” rt_border_bottom=”” rt_border_left=”” rt_border_right=”” rt_border_top_mobile=”” rt_border_bottom_mobile=”” rt_border_left_mobile=”” rt_border_right_mobile=”” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”auto auto” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n In 2022 Rytons celebrates its 50th Anniversary, Anthony Irwin commented, \u201cRytons 50th Anniversary is a very special occasion for our family, but none of the above would have happened without the support of our loyal staff and customers, we thank you.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row rt_row_background_width=”fullwidth” rt_row_content_width=”default” rt_row_style=”default-style” rt_row_borders=”” rt_row_paddings=”true” rt_bg_effect=”classic” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”cover” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll” rt_bg_video_format=”self-hosted” rt_bg_color=”#dcd8d9″][vc_column rt_wrp_col_paddings=”false” rt_border_top=”” rt_border_bottom=”” rt_border_left=”” rt_border_right=”” rt_border_top_mobile=”” rt_border_bottom_mobile=”” rt_border_left_mobile=”” rt_border_right_mobile=”” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”auto auto” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]\r\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tThe window system on this project has very slim frames with no space to fit window trickle vents. The Rytons vents were a good solution to meet the background regulations and ticked all of the boxes we had. Project: \u00a31.65M private extension and refurbishment in St Johns Wood, London.\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tJust installed a Rytons AirCore 125mm for my stove, delighted with it, very discreet fitting blends in really well with my decor. Very effective exterior cowl, also looks a lot better than previous old metal grill. Simple to fit although hole was there. Overall very satisfactory.\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tOur previous vent was slatted which got very drafty in the winter and my husband suffers from arthritis, since having this installed, no more drafts, really pleased with this vent and highly recommended to cut out drafts (sic).\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tHi. I\u2019m emailing from Ireland. I had work done in my house a few years ago by a northern Irish company and they used your air vents. (the one with the paintable\/wall paperable internal cover). Can I just say they are brilliant and I really absolutely love them. Last year I had more work done ... I\u2019m looking to buy 2 full vent sets 125mm diameter with the paintable covers and if possible 2 paintable vent covers to replace existing covers ... your vents are the best thing in the world.\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tI bought the Rytons vent to try and combat a mould issue in my bedroom that had occurred due to a lack of ventilation - my builder was able to fit the vent quickly and within a short time the mould was gone. I'd recommend this product to anyone with a similar issue.\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row rt_row_background_width=”fullwidth” rt_row_content_width=”fullwidth” rt_row_style=”default-style” rt_row_borders=”” rt_row_paddings=”true” rt_bg_image=”48971″ rt_bg_effect=”classic” rt_bg_image_repeat=”no-repeat” rt_bg_size=”cover” rt_bg_position=”center center” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll” rt_bg_video_format=”self-hosted” full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1478008042758{background-image: url(https:\/\/rts.vents.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hero-section-with-opacity-3379.jpg?id=21143) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” rt_row_height=”400″ rt_padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column rt_wrp_col_paddings=”false” rt_border_top=”” rt_border_bottom=”” rt_border_left=”” rt_border_right=”” rt_border_top_mobile=”” rt_border_bottom_mobile=”” rt_border_left_mobile=”” rt_border_right_mobile=”” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”auto auto” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll”][vc_custom_heading text=”About Us” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row rt_row_background_width=”default” rt_row_style=”default-style” rt_row_borders=”” rt_row_paddings=”true” rt_bg_effect=”classic” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”cover” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll” rt_bg_video_format=”self-hosted”][vc_column […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-800","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rts.vents.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rts.vents.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rts.vents.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rts.vents.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rts.vents.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=800"}],"version-history":[{"count":182,"href":"https:\/\/rts.vents.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/800\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49407,"href":"https:\/\/rts.vents.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/800\/revisions\/49407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rts.vents.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
