History of SureCav Limited
THE SOLUTION - A VERSATILE CAVITY SPACER SYSTEM
SureCav was dreamt up in my kitchen and started off as soft-drink bottle-necks stuck to a
piece of cardboard. After many weeks of thinking ‘do I do this or not!’ I found a plastics
manufacturer who made several design prototypes that I had in mind. We finally came up
with the shape of the SureCav pod, which sends moisture to the outside of the wall
protecting the cavity from moisture and mortar contamination. The ‘Wall of Plastic’ came
into existence!
Originally vacuum formed, SureCav is now made by injection moulding from 100% re-cycled
polypropylene.
SureCav50, forming a 50mm cavity has been used successfully throughout the country since
2004 when we first got our BBA Certificate 04/4154.
We have now introduced SureCav25 forming a 25mm cavity, built to the high standards of
SureCav50 with the same specification. SureCav25 is the answer to the problem of
achieving lower U-Values whilst guaranteeing a clean moisture and mortar free cavity in all
exposure zones.
When you have seen the details of the SureCav system you will clearly see why it is the
‘Sure way forward’ to improved building quality.
As I always say, “It’s not just because I designed SureCav that I am trying to sell the system.
After all, if someone else had designed it, I would buy it…
Well I would - because it works!”
