Sidewall windows

Lichtstraat 2 etage buitenkant Free-range poultry houses nowadays need to have 3% daylight. Tulderhof offers three different solutions to achieve this purpose.
1. Side wall windows
2. Roof windows
3. Ridge window

The roof and ridge windows come with a full black-out system as standard. For the side wall windows this is optional, but strongly advised.

Lichtstraat met Twin-Flex The most common solution, especially for poultry houses with several floors are the sidewall windows. These can be made in a “day-light strip” along the whole sidewall of the house. In between the windows the air inlets are made. The builder only needs to leave one large cut-away over the whole side. Because all Tulderhof products are custom made, it is very easy to install the windows and air inlets into this cut-away. We advise to use translucent windows. Doing so, direct sunrays are blocked, and a very nice diffuse daylight is guaranteed.

To prevent pecking among the hens a black-out system is strongly recommended. Tulderhof makes its black-out systems for side wall windows with slide-doors which can be pulled up with a winch (hand or electrical) in front of the windows (see figure).
