Swift-in-built-in cabinet GZP2 – wood-concrete, for masonry | Unitura

The GZP2 is a compact wood-concrete swift box that can be easily incorporated into the masonry of a facade. The box is intended as a permanent roosting site for swifts and is also often used as a replacement for lost house sparrow nesting sites.

• Made entirely of wood-concrete, durable and maintenance-free
• Shallow design, making it also suitable for facades with a narrow cavity (1950s and 1960s)
• Unobtrusive shape; can be recessed and finished with stone strips or plaster
• Can be installed individually or in clusters
• Fire class A2

Tip: install the box at a height of at least 5 metres, on a cold facade (north/east) or under an overhang, with a clear flight path.

Installation

Install the box at a height of at least 4-5 m, preferably not on sunny facades (between NNW and NNE, maximum NE) or otherwise in the shade of a gutter or overhang. Ensure a completely clear flight path without trees, awnings or flagpoles. Incorporate the box completely into the facade surface so that rainwater does not collect on the top. As a guideline for compensation or mitigation: five replacement roosting sites for every lost roosting site.
