The 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)
A reduction in wall thickness of 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. See more examples here.
SureCav25 is a moulded, 100% recycled, polypropylene panel with spacer protrusions, forming a 25mm clear cavity and providing the perfect backing board for the stone, slate, brick and flint outer leaf. This cavity protection system ensures clean and moisture free cavities with either timber frame or traditional construction.
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 outer masonry leaf. This makes SureCav up to 2½ cheaper than building with a backing block. It’s also environmentally sound, producing a sixth of the CO2 footprint compared to using a concrete block backing wall.
Panel size: 1200mm (L) x 450mm (H) x 25mm deep. Yes! Just 25mm deep. This also gives the option for more room in the cavity for insulation, enhancing the thermal performance of the building envelope.
Now guarantee clean and moisture free cavities with SureCav25! The SureCav25 cavity backing system is used to form a consistent 25mm clear cavity width in new masonry or timber frame constructed cavity walls of domestic and non domestic buildings and is fully BBA certified. It is our experience that a clear section of the cavity should always be present in the construction of the walls. The 25mm air gap between the outer layer of masonry and the insulation, coupled with the moisture beating design of the SureCav25 panels, will prevent any water penetration. The SureCav25 panels will also hold the insulation in place, adding to its effectiveness in preventing heat loss.
The trend being experienced towards wetter weather in the UK means greater consideration has to be given to protecting the building envelope against water penetration - especially in severe exposure zones.
