What Materials Do You Use?
We have chosen to use PVCu as our prime material for reasons of hygiene, practicality, weather resistance, ease of cleaning & for it’ fire retardant properties.
Our materials are completely compliant with the DEFRA minimum and higher standard guidelines, which relate to animal welfare standards, hygiene & construction materials.
Sneeze barriers: All sneeze barriers are solid and impermeable. Depending on the cattery style, the dividing walls will be a mixture of solid panel and toughened glass.
Meshed Areas: We use our proprietary PawSafe™ Mesh in all areas that require ventilation. PawSafe™ Mesh is specially manufactured for use in our animal housing. It has a robust galvanised finish and smooth welds to ensure there are no sharp edges.
Insulation: All sleeping quarter walls are fully insulated (including ceilings).
Security: Entry is via a multipoint key locking door, with a thumb turn on the inside.
Fire resistance: PVCu is self-extinguishing. All glass, mesh and insulated panel is contained within the PVCu framework.
Hygiene: PVCu is impervious, rot proof, wipe-clean and virtually maintenance free. Unlike wood, PVCu does not harbour germs or fungal spores.
Woodgrain Finish: At an extra cost we can offer our complete range of woodgrain finish.
