What is the purpose of BILKA bird spikes?
The spikes are designed to prevent birds from nesting on suitable roofing surfaces. BILKA associates this with reducing the risk of corrosion contamination and parasite transmission. They are a physical barrier, not poison or a trapping device. For effective application, the specific landing area must be covered without blocking drainage, ventilation, or maintenance access.
How long is one module of BILKA bird spikes?
The official product information states a length of 345 mm and a polycarbonate base. This is the length of one module, not per meter of product. For planning, measure the actual line where birds land and plan the placement of whole modules. Do not confuse this product with an older catalog version with a metal base and different length without verifying the delivery.
How many BILKA modules are needed for one linear meter of protection?
With a length of 345 mm, three modules provide a total of 1035 mm before adjustments at joints and ends. For any line, the approximate number is the length in meters divided by 0.345 and rounded up. This is a geometric calculation, not an installation standard. The actual quantity must account for interruptions, angles, obstacles, and the method of attachment to the specific base.
Do bird spikes replace the ridge at the eaves?
Bird spikes and the eaves ridge are separate products with different functions. The spikes limit nesting and landing on selected surfaces, while the ridge follows the contour under the covering, allows ventilation, and prevents birds or large insects from entering underneath. Both elements may be needed on one roof, but each is positioned according to its system detail.
How are bird spikes attached to the roof?
BILKA’s public page indicates the polycarbonate base and length but does not specify a universal fastener for all bases. Therefore, the method is chosen according to the material, flatness, weather load, and maintenance possibility. Do not drill into finished roofing metal or use arbitrary glue without a compatible detail; first clarify the location and approved fastening method with LATIVA.
What does the bird spikes variant with SKU LT-2220 include?
One variant with SKU LT-2220 is created in Shopify, but no separate package quantity, fasteners, or installation kit is specified. Official information confirms a module with a polycarbonate base and length of 345 mm. Before ordering, check whether the price is for one module, how many modules are in the package, and whether the fasteners needed for the specific base are supplied separately.
