Description

This common swift cabinet is specially designed for the mitigation of common swift habitats. The cabinets can be placed both clustered and solitary. This common swift box is also popular with house sparrow as a place to stay.

PLACEMENT
The design specifically took into account the depth of the cabinet. Due to its shallow depth, the cabinet can also be easily incorporated into facades of homes from the 1950s and 1960s, which often have limited cavity space. The common swift cabinet is equipped with an inspection hatch. The cabinet can be cleaned via the inspection hatch. In addition to installation in masonry, the cabinet can also be hung on facades. When placed on facades, the box can be placed through the back of the box using two bolts.

Step-by-step plan for installation in existing masonry:
1. make a mark on the outside wall the size of the built-in box + the width of a joint
2. remove the marked part from the wall and place the cabinet.
3. Adjust the cabinet using filler cards. Then secure the cupboard using PUR foam and then seal the cupboard.

Installation options:
1. Installation in existing masonry: for deep nest boxes, allow it to protrude slightly from the wall.
Minimum 20mm PIR behind the nest box. Do not place the box against the insulation. 2. Flush with masonry: keep the box free of insulation.
3. Completely behind masonry: keep the box free of insulation. Mounting with corner anchors. Leave the stone a little wider than the entrance hole . The built-in box can be finished with stone strips or stucco.
