An Iguana House may seem a very unlikely application for a Fordingbridge Specialist Structure.
However, we were more than happy to rise to the challenge of supplying this high light insulated building to provide the ideal climate for these delightful creatures.
A building with maximum solar gains and heat retention in winter was required in order to ensure that the reptiles would remain active and visible.
Fordingbridge constructed a single box section arch over this relatively narrow span, 12m x 5m, with a triple glazed polycarbonate roof.
In this case we are unable to provide a quote from the customer, but I think if you examine the close up in picture 3, you will see the reptile’s smile….
This project demonstrates how, with our skilful and innovative in-house design team, we are able to design and build unique structures to suit some very unusual customer requirements.
One of our insulated buildings, of elegant circular form, can be found in use as a Visitor Centre housing imaginative educational displays, and a retail area.
Insulated buildings can be designed and built to conform to the highest environmental standards using re-cycleable materials with maximum energy conservation properties.
For:
Retail buildings
Lecture theatres
Libraries
Offices
Public sector buildings
Visitor centres
and indeed Iguana Houses
Fordingbridge has the right design and build solution – whatever your application.
