Description
IB VL 09 Bat Entrance Stone | Façade integration & Cavity access
The IB VL 09 bat entrance stone is a sustainable access stone for bats in façades. The stone can be mortared into the façade and provides via a slot of 2 cm high and 15 cm wide access to the cavity wall or other built‑in provisions. The sloping bottom surface of the slot facilitates entry for bats.
The entrance stone is fully manufactured from houtbeton, a natural and sustainable material without chemical additives. The rough surface provides bats optimal grip when entering the cavity or built-in box.
