Application

Nestclad integrated biodiversity units are designed for seamless incorporation within rainscreen cladding systems, providing sustainable nesting and roosting habitats for various species.

1. Nestclad Bee Nest Brick:

This unit provides nesting cavities for solitary bee species. It comprises natural clay bee bricks integrated into a versatile carrier system. The system is designed for direct integration with the external facade, accommodating bespoke brick options to match the primary building aesthetic or to provide a subtle projection as specified. The brick support is suitable for use with bespoke bricks as well as various other market-available bee nest bricks, ensuring flexible design integration within the rainscreen cladding system.

2. Nestclad Bat Roost Box:

This unit provides secure roosting shelters for crevice-dwelling bats. The roost comprises a robust stainless-steel box internally lined with a reinforced lime-based material. It is engineered for seamless integration into rainscreen cladding systems with a minimum cavity depth of 60 mm. Design and testing have been conducted in collaboration with bat conservation experts to ensure optimal bat welfare and roosting success. The unit maintains stable internal conditions and protects occupants from external disturbance.

3. Nestclad Bird Nest Box: This unit provides nesting habitats for various bird species, including sparrows, starlings, swifts, and black redstarts. The nesting unit is constructed from durable stainless steel and materials selected for optimal thermal comfort. It is designed for seamless integration into rainscreen cladding systems, typically requiring a minimum cavity depth of 100 mm, to provide a secure and undisturbed habitat. The design replicates natural nesting environments.

All Nestclad units are designed for minimal maintenance once installed. Components are selected for long-term durability and resistance to environmental factors. Installation must ensure the unit's functionality is not compromised by the surrounding cladding system or building services.
