Press Release Body: As part of its commitment to sustainable construction
and
assisting developers to minimize the impact of house building on
wildlife habitats,
Ibstock has designed a range of clay homes for bats and swifts that
can be
incorporated into any new buildings or conservation work.
The new range includes three new designs of 'eco habitat' for bats
and two for
swifts which provide secure, dry homes for these endangered creatures
that are built
into the building wall.
"We have been increasingly concerned about the impact of house building
on fauna
like bats and swifts," comments David Hills, Sustainability Manager
of Ibstock.
"They are an important part of our ecosystem, and can help keep
some insect pests at
bay. As such, we have created a range of specially designed one
brick thick habitats
that offer attractive, maintenance-free living environments that
can be incorporated
into any new buildings."
Ibstock's bat eco habitats were designed with the help of bat conservation
experts
and include perches, ledges and hanging space. The maintenance free
boxes are
available in different sizes and colours that match or complement
the existing brick
walls.
Ibstock eco habitats for swifts are available in smooth red or blue
clay and have
been designed - with assistance from avian conservation experts
- to be located
under the eaves, where nesting swifts prefer a discreet, secure
site.
