At Vandersanden, we embrace nature-inclusive building. With wildlife friendly solutions like bat boxes, bee bricks and swift boxes we support biodiversity while enhancing the environment.

Nature-inclusive construction extends beyond green roofs and facades. It involves creating natural habitats within buildings, providing shelter for birds, bats, bees, and other wildlife. By designing structures that support biodiversity, we contribute to a resilient and climate-adaptive environment.

Our range of brick solutions includes:

Bat Boxes – Designed to offer safe nesting spaces for bats.
Swift boxes – Seamlessly integrating nesting sites into brick facades.
Bee Bricks – Encouraging pollinators essential for biodiversity.

Developed in collaboration with ecological specialists, our wildlife habitat brick solutions blend seamlessly into any construction projects. Proper placement is key, and careful consideration of factors such as orientation, climate conditions, and available food sources is essential.

Bats play a crucial role in ecosystems, yet many species are endangered. The Pipistrelle, the UK's most common bat species, requires safe crevices for roosting. To support their survival, we offer specially designed bat boxes with or without cork lining, available in various colours. These bat-friendly solutions are designed to fit standard masonry and require no maintenance. Custom specifications and decorative motifs are also available.

By integrating nature into construction, we are taking conscious steps towards helping our cities become more balanced for both people and wildlife. We are committed to pioneering solutions that make biodiversity a fundamental part of modern building design.
