Is it OK to cover some of them up? Ventilation is vitally important for health is the short answer and sometimes covering up the ventilation can be extremely dangerous – risking CO poisoning and death.
So if you think you don’t need some breezy ventilation I would check it out with a gas safe registered expert first.
Modern building regulations & gas regulations set out the ventilation required in houses & buildings.
I am NOT a qualified expert, so don’t just take my advise. But I am pretty sure you need some ventilation where ever you have a gas cooker, gas hob, flueless gas fire, or open flue appliance. If you are burning other fossil fuels you might need ventilation as well.
Personally, I also would not sleep in a room with the gas fire left on and same goes for those portable calor gas heaters. In fact, if I had one of thse portable gas heaters I would want to be sure there was plenty of ventilation – it probably says that in the user instruction book when you buy them.
