Spreeuwenkast SPP1 – recessed, wood-concrete for masonry | Unitura

The SPP1 is a wood-concrete starling nest box that is incorporated into the masonry. The box is intended to compensate for the loss of nesting sites for starlings. Great tits and house sparrows also like to use it.

• Made entirely of wood-concrete: durable and maintenance-free
• Shallow, so it can also be built into facades from the 1950s and 60s with a narrow cavity
• Unobtrusive design that fits in almost any type of facade
• Can be placed individually or in clusters, in multiple locations on the facade
• Can be set slightly back and finished with stone strips or plasterwork, so that the box is invisible in the facade

Tip: incorporate several boxes spread across the facade to increase the availability of nesting sites.

Placement

Incorporate the box completely into the facade surface. If a box protrudes partially from the facade, rainwater can collect on the top and penetrate moisture into the structure. If you do place the box partially outside the facade surface, install a roof or similar water-repellent structure above the box.
