TOUGHENED GLASS
All the glass used in our vivariums is toughened to BS6206A kite marked standards. This means it has up to 5 times its original strength, and if broken, the glass breaks into small blunt fragments. Normal plate glass, if damaged, breaks into sharp long shards. As the glass is used as sliding glass doors it is crucial that only safety glass is used to prevent serious injury. We aim to conform to BS EN 14072:2003 for glass used along with furniture.
 
VENTILATION
Each vivarium contains the correct number of vents to provide optimum temperature and humidity levels. Ø65mm circular vents are
positioned at both the top and bottom of the back panel allowing a steady flow of air throughout the vivarium. Each vent contains a plentiful number of holes which are big enough to allow air to flow in and out, but small enough to prevent live foods from escaping.
 
FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL
All our timber comes from recycled sources or FSC sustainable forests. The FSC product label allows consumers worldwide to recognise products that support the growth of responsible forest management worldwide. Environmentally appropriate forest management ensures that the harvest of timber and non-timber products maintains the forest's biodiversity, productivity and ecological processes.
 
EASY TO ASSEMBLE
We have improved the self assembly construction. All units have fewer parts and nearly 50% less assembly fittings. This means that assembly should take half the time and go together first time.
 
DEEPER
The GT range is 23” inches from front to back. This increases the floor surface area, improving the living environment for the pets. This extra space can be used to provide interesting natural settings, such as tunnels or burrows, to enhance the living conditions for your pet.
 
SOLID BACK
We believe that 3mm hardboard is not suitable for a professional vivarium. Its low compression structure and paint or foil surface means a very short product lifespan. This is why we use the same robust board for all panels. When sealed, our construction lasts many years longer than cheaper competitors. After all our panels are 5 times thicker!
 
CABLE ACCESS POINTS
Outlet points have been formed in the back panel for cable management. Any size of plug or fitting can easily pass through prior to securing the lid. To remove cables or replace, simply loosen the cams and lift the lid. Cable access points are located at each end, along the top. Either point can easily be closed with silicon if not required.
 
SEALING YOUR VIVARIUM
Although the melamine itself is waterproof, the exposed chipboard may swell if
water is absorbed. We therefore recommend that you seal your vivarium with
silicon once constructed to prevent leakage and to help ensure that your product
has a long and healthy life. This will make your vivarium completely waterproof.
 
Simply run silicon along all inside joins and areas of exposed chipboard (such as cam holes) and leave overnight to dry. We also suggest that a small amount of silicon is run internally around the edge of the vent holes and tracking to help ensure that no moisture will enter the chipboard. It is critical that all joins and areas of exposed chipboard are cleaned before sealing.
