Multipanel supplies Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Multipanel, the bathroom wall panel brand from Grant Westfield, has become a trusted supplier to Yorkshire Wildlife Park .

First opened in 2009, Yorkshire Wildlife Park is home to some of the world’s most endangered animals. Multipanel has supplied durable and scratch-proof materials  to the parks tailored animal house for its cheetahs, as well as being incredibly durable, the panels also benefit from being easy to clean and maintain, which was vital for Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

David Milburn, head of construction at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, said: “Since this was the first animal house of its kind built using second-hand containers with high thermal values, it was crucial to get everything right to prevent overheating in the summer and maintain a temperature of 22°C in the winter. The park needed a high-quality, durable wall panel that could be securely fixed to 12.5mm plywood. After evaluating various options, Multipanel was the ideal solution. Its tongue-and-groove connection provided the strength and resilience required to house a cheetah and Multipanel’s flush-fit prevented the cheetahs from causing harm.”

Yorkshire Wildlife Park has committed to using the brand for future refurbishments and new enclosures.
