Description

The Manthorpe Swift Brick has been developed in conjunction with major house builders and conservation experts to provide a safe, spacious and habitable area to allow swifts to nest within the well-built construction of modern houses.


Features and benefits:

  • Takes the place of a single brick, the coloured face blends into the surrounding masonry.
  • Neat and simple to install, can be fitted quickly during the bricklaying.
  • Integral nest concave provides ideal starting point for nest building.
  • 29 x 65 mm opening leading into a recessed entry tunnel.
  • 41 300 mm² of floor area gives the maximum habitable living space within the wall construction.
  • A built in cavity tray detail within the roof of the brick protects against water ingress.
  • Aesthetically pleasing exterior sanded finish in Antique Red and Terracotta allowing the product to blend seamlessly with the brickwork.
  • Lasts the lifetime of the building and requires no maintenance.
