The SureCav Cavity Wall Spacer System is a black, injection moulded, recycled, polypropylene sheet, with raised spacer protrusions at 260 mm centres.

The sheets interlock with plastic, H-section profile joining strips at all edges. Corners are formed by folding the sheet along the bend line built into each sheet. The correct number of joiners required are included in the cost and shipped with each pack of SureCav. Always place the SureCav raised pod against the insulation board or breather membrane of a timber-frame building.

Horizontal joining strip for trimming between the wall ties. Length: 900mm
Vertical joining strip (cut to the correct length) Length: 400mm

There are 12no. of each length of joining strips in a pack of 10 SureCav panels.

On ordering, we need to know the number of sheets of SureCav you require (calculate by dividing the number of square metres of wall area by 0.54). Sufficient horizontal and vertical joiners will be sent with the order and are included in the price of the sheets.

Please note: The 900mm joining strips are to be used for the horizontal joints. Cut a long joining strip up to a wall tie and use the off-cut to start the next section (or cut a notch in the joiner and slot it over the tie). The 400mm joining strips are designed to exactly fit the vertical joints of the SureCav panel.

SureCav is shipped in packs of 10 or 5 sheets.

One pallet will contain 200 sheets (20 packs) of SureCav25 or 150 sheets (15 packs) of SureCav50.
