SureCav is Unique

With the June 2022 building regulations now in force, with SureCav25 and 75mm insulation, you will not need to amend your drawings to achieve 0.18Wm2K in an overall 100mm cavity. Keep the wall width to a minimun and avoid having to purchase more expensive lintels. A new and lightweight alternative to heavy and expensive concrete backing blocks. SureCav increases floor space and acts as a rainscreen to the harshest weather. BBA certified and readily available to specifiers, SureCav is the ultimate space and cost saving solution for cavity wall construction.

SureCav benefits

  • Is BBA certified
  • Lowers U-values by making more room for extra insulation
  • Increases internal room space
  • Maintains an essential air gap
  • Offers a space-saving 25mm permitted residual cavity
  • Protects from wind-driven rain, keeping moisture out of the cavity
  • Available on NBS Source & NBS Chorus
  • Suitable for use with brick, stone, flint or slate external finishes

Huge cost savings

Concrete is deceptively expensive. SureCav can significantly lower your building costs. It forms a 25mm or 50mm moisture-free clear cavity, providing a backing board for the stone, slate, brick and flint outer leaf. This makes SureCav up to 2½ cheaper than building with a backing block (see our cost comparison). It’s also environmentally sound, producing a sixth of the CO2 footprint compared to using a concrete block backing wall.

Gain even more space with SureCav25

The gains in space are equally huge. A reduction in wall thickness of just 25mm will increase the internal dimensions of the property by 50mm in each direction and result in an average of 1.6% increased floor space over 2 floors.

Removing the 100mm backing block adds even more internal space. This can rise to 10% additional floor space in very severe weather zones, where a 75mm clear cavity may be required.

  • Surecav equivalent of 40 tonnes of concrete block

    Lighter than concrete – and easy to handle. The SureCav equivalent wall area of 40 tonnes of 100mm concrete blocks will easily fit into a single pick-up truck.

    As well as costs, SureCav saves you valuable site storage space and is easy to transport. That reduces the risks of injury and dramatically cuts fuel costs.

  • Surecav 25 Insulation Options

    The future of cavity-wall construction with SureCav25

    Now drive down U-Values. SureCav25 allows for more room in the cavity for insulation, thus enhancing the thermal performance of the wall. Where heat conservation is the prime concern, SureCav25 frees up an additional 25mm in the cavity that can be used for extra insulation.

    This example shows how a 100mm overall cavity width, comprising 75mm board insulation and a 25mm clear cavity using SureCav25, can achieve U-Values as low as 0.18 W/m²K. Alternatively, a 125mm overall cavity width, comprising 100mm board insulation and a 25mm clear cavity using SureCav25, can achieve U-Values as low as 0.15 W/m²K. (Figures calculated using Kingspan Kooltherm K108 Cavity Board insulation and the Kingspan U-Value calculator)

  • Maintain a 300mm - wide overall cavity with SureCav25

    Say goodbye to moisture problems

    SureCav prevents any water penetration through porous masonry. SureCav’s cavity backing system forms a consistent 25mm or 50mm clear cavity in new masonry or timber frame walls.

    The air gap – coupled with the moisture-beating design of the SureCav panels – lets you guarantee clean and moisture-free cavities. The SureCav panels will also hold the insulation in place, adding to its effectiveness in preventing heat loss.

  • Surecav weather protection system

    Protection from the harshest rain

    In very severe exposure zones there is sometimes a requirement for a clear cavity up to 75mm, however, SureCav prevents moisture from bridging the cavity. Additionally, the unique shape of the SureCav pods direct any moisture to the outside leaf, protecting the fabric of the building.

SureCav25 and SureCav50 - easy to source on NBS

SureCav is available on both NBS Source and NBS Chorus – the most popular and comprehensive products for specifiers in the construction industry.

For architects, designers and builders, both SureCav50 and SureCav25 are as easy to source as they are to work with.
