PVC Strip  
A fast and easy method of temporarily blocking light through poultry house windows when catching or settling chicks.

As a result of the RSPSA's Freedom Food Welfare Initiative, chicken growers are being asked to allow a significant proportion of natural light to enter the poultry building. Adding windows is the simplest and most cost effective solution, but it presents a problem when the light needs to be blocked for catching or settling chicks.
Galebreaker's Poultry blackout Curtain has been designed to solve this problem for all poultry houses with windows.
Quick, safe and hassle free.
All windows on each side of building are blacked out in minutes in a single operation.
Shed can be returned to natural light immediately.
Can be fitted to new or existing buildings with any window size.
Manual or electric drive.

PVC Strip An active system designed to improve ventilation in livestock buildings by providing an exit path for warm stale air while, at the same time, improving light transmission into the building.
Galebreaker has introduced a new ventilation product which can be fitted to the roof of new or existing buildings. Light ridge significantly improves ventilation to portal framed livestock buildings by providing an exit path for warm stale air. The stale air is replaced by fresh air which is drawn into the building through open sides. The side opening can be achieved by using a side curtain such as VVS or by the occasional removal of Bayscreens which have been fitted to the side of the building.
Light ridge has the additional advantage of providing improved light transmission into the building through the 10mm translucent polycarbonate material which makes up the top of the ridge.
The inclusion of tailor-made wind plates make the system 'active'. Air naturally flows along the roof line and when it hits the wind plates, it causes a venturi effect which 'pulls' the stale air through the ventilation slots of the Light Ridge and out of the building. The specially designed wind plates also form a barrier to stop rain and snow entering the building.

Healthier environment for livestock.
Less risk of disease such as pneumonia, mastitis and scours.
Improved natural light.
No fans or moving parts - needs no adjustment.
Used in conjunction with VVS systems, can help provide total ventilation control automatically.
10 year guarantee.
Fits to new and existing buildings.
Waterproof and snow-load-tested.

Useful Information

How To Measure for Galebreakers
     

Measure gap A i.e the daylight gap between the uprights. If the measurement falls between the Galebreaker sizes choose the next size up as widths can be adjusted.

Measure gap B i.e the daylight gap and choose the nearest size up to suit.

If you need clarification call the sales office on 01239 891618 / 01239 891376 with metric or feet daylight measurements.

     
Further Information
The standard Galebreaker material has a permeability of approximately 25% and is designed to maximise weather protection whilst maintaining ventilation. Moisture may penetrate mesh materials during extreme weather conditions.
A high performance material is available throughout the product range for more exposed locations. This mesh has a permeability of approximately 10% and will help to further reduce moisture penetration.
Unless other wise specified, standard material will always be supplied.
Prices include standard fittings for steel.
The imperial equivalent measurements given in brackets are intended as a guide only.
