EterraQuiet sliding doors
Glass panels move smoothly along aluminium rails for easy, quiet access.
Details for daily life
Built around the animal.
A habitat should make good care straightforward. Every part of an Eterra cabinet is planned around access, climate and the equipment that supports your animals.
01 / Daily care
Access & daily care
Front access for daily care
Feed, mist and check the enclosure from the front.
Doors lift out for cleaning
Remove the glass panels from their tracks when it is time for a thorough clean.
02 / Secure by design
Safety
Integrated locks
Lockable glass doors help keep the enclosure closed around children, other pets and escape-prone species.
Equipment stays above the habitat
Lamps, cables and fittings sit in the canopy above the mesh, outside the habitat and away from the animals.
Close-fitting doors
Carefully fitted door clearances help reduce gaps that feeders and hatchlings could pass through.
Polished glass edges
Exposed glass edges are polished as part of the door finish.
03 / Air and humidity
Climate & ventilation
Chimney-style airflow
A raised front lip below the door rails acts as a low air intake; the aluminium mesh at the top provides the exhaust. This natural airflow helps limit stagnant air, mould and glass fogging, while supporting a temperature gradient and healthier breathing conditions.
Substrate stays inside
The raised front lip also helps keep substrate in place when the glass doors are opened.
Optional mesh covers
Optional 4 mm glass covers rest on top of the mesh without clips or fixings. Covering part of the mesh lets you adjust ventilation for humidity-sensitive species.
Climate by compartment
Split builds can be arranged so each enclosure is managed independently for its own climate needs.
04 / Made to work together
Canopy, electronics & build
Front-access canopy
Two lift-up wooden flaps above each enclosure open from the front. Reach lamps and electronics without opening the habitat or disturbing the animals.
Room for equipment
Space for thermostats, timers, misting systems and lighting, with cables kept in the canopy and outside the habitat.
Optional canopy fans
Computer fans can be added for extra airflow and heat control.
Rust-free aluminium mesh
The canopy mesh is made from durable, rust-free aluminium.
Moisture-resistant finishes
Finishes are selected to resist the moisture expected around a terrarium.
Integrated storage
Wooden storage drawers can be included in the cabinet layout.
Power in the canopy
Power sockets are planned at the back of the canopy so equipment can plug in inside the cabinet, with one mains lead to the wall.
Moisture-resistant base
A waterproofed base detail helps protect the cabinet wood from moisture. Its maximum water-depth rating is to be confirmed.
