MortarThePoint Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 What do people think of different weep types? Any recommendations? I like the look of the Invisiweep vent as it makes the hole on the outside smaller than for the standard ones (shown below above the standard ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA3222 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I have the invisiweep, not sure if I'd go with that type again - the hole is very square and bigger than you'd think, ill take some pics later to show you what I mean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down there visibility may not be as much of a concern as pest proofing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedreamer Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 We have the standard ones after while they just blend in and you forget about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nod Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 You can just make out two above the lights We render some mainl Housing associations With weeps ever 450 along the DPC and around the middle of the building 10 mil proud They look really bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use these Timloc TW1 It's a mixture of brick and rendered block work with block work inner leaf. Gosh, they're even smaller. They won't have the "Venturi effect outlet tube that reduces water pressure, allowing for optimal drainage" if you believe that. It's quite a small opening for venting through. Do the TW1 work well?

PeterW Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Never had enough water in a cavity to worry once the cavity was closed off. When we had open cavities when building they seemed to work fine when it was raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly I’ve never seen water dripping out of weeps There in the unlikely event they are needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
