SureCav is an 100% recycled plastic cavity spacer system, replacing the need for concrete backing blocks and helps to construct more sustainable homes. SureCav allows you to achieve a higher quality build, whilst saving money, time and space, as well as lowering your carbon footprint by 6x!
SureCav25 is the only way, anywhere, to form an approved 25mm residual cavity, BBA Approved!
Below, we list the advantages of SureCav. SureCav25 has same properties as SureCav50, but with the added benefit of being only 25mm deep!
Learn more about SureCav
SureCav is unique
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

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 halves the cost of 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.
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 1.25% increased floor space over 2 floors.
Removing the 100mm backing block adds another 5% internal space. This can rise to over 7% additional floor space in very severe weather zones, where a 75mm clear cavity may be required.
This results in an overall gain of 7.5%. That's equivalent to the floor space of 3 extra houses on an 80 house site!
Why use Surecav?
Reduce your carbon footprint!
SureCav ticks all the right environmental boxes. It’s made from 100% recycled plastic – a sixth of the carbon footprint of the equivalent in concrete blocks! All without any compromise on performance.

Lighter than concrete – and easy to handle
As well as costs, SureCav saves you valuable site storage space and is easy to transport. The SureCav equivalent wall area of 40 tonnes of 100mm concrete blocks will easily fit into a single pick-up truck. That reduces the risks of injury and dramatically cuts fuel costs.
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)
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.
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.
