All-year roost for flush installation in walls
The special insulation makes it ideal in winter and summer alike for those species of bats that inhabit buildings. With its patented cavity wall system the box provides effective winter accommodation. The special design uses lightweight concrete, which has excellent insulating properties, together with a special insulating material. This not only provides good insulation but is also air-permeable and retains these properties for many decades. Not only does the good insulation ensure secure winter accommodation for bats, it also prevents the interior from over-heating in the summer, for example if the box is installed in an exposed site. The 1WI box is therefore ideal in summer for encouraging the formation of colonies and for bats to raise their young, as well as providing a secure place for hibernation in winter. It is self-cleaning and therefore maintenance-free.

Occupants:

Typical bat species that inhabit buildings, including Common Pipistrelle, Serotine Bat, Parti-coloured Bat and, provided they are found in sufficient quantities at the installation site, Noctule and Bechstein’s Bat.

Material:

Weather resistant and breathable lightweight concrete.

Size:

W 34.5 x H 54.5 x D 9.5 cm

Installation:

At heights of between 3 and 5 m and above. Ensure unobstructed access for bats entering and leaving.

The 1WI is usually installed flush in the external façade or in external insulation under the render. It can be securely fixed on the structure using four screws. The necessary fixings are included. Only the entrance funnel for the animals remains visible following installation.

Inside:

The interior is designed with different surface textures at different hanging levels. This not only has climatic advantages, but also helps the species to find a hanging site suitable for them.

Outside:

With its podium, the funnel-shaped approach area enables the animals to grip easily and therefore accelerates acceptance, e.g. for inexperienced young animals too. The one-piece roost is delivered without painted finish. The 1WI is usually installed flush or "in-wall", recessed in the external façade, although if necessary it can also be painted with standard breathable façade paint to match the background.

Rear:

The 1WI is open at the rear and covered with mesh netting in the factory, to provide grip for the animals even on smooth substrates. If installed flush (in-wall), please note that moisture can occur in the interior. If installed on sides of the building exposed to heavy rain, we recommend use of the optional rear panel (Order No. 778/0). This minimises the penetration of moisture into the building insulation/masonry. For further info see separate info sheet; please request if necessary.

1WI (without rear panel), screws and plugs.
