Animal Enclosure Surfaces

Like many animals, Pandas are extremely sensitive to their habitat, preferring a quiet, calm, hygienic habitat with access to clean water and good food.

Our Technical Director, Professor Denis Chamberlain has spent much voluntary time at Edinburgh Zoo, reviewing and recommending materials for use in animal enclosures. In the case of waterproofing, for example, he takes the view that only WRAS Certified materials should be used. His belief is that untested coating materials risk:

  • Toxic chemical leaching
  • Propagation of hostile bio-matter at the surface
  • Excessive particulate into contacting water
In 2012, Epicuro E200 WRAS Certified Waterproofing was used to coat the hard ground area in the Panda shelter, helping the area to be kept clean and safe.
