Fixing additional frame-ties when using flint or rubble stone

Fix additional frame-ties, as required, into blockwork
by drilling and plugging through the pod only. Always
use a SureCav seal-washer to ensure that the fixing is
correctly protected from moisture penetration.

Ensure the plug is fixed at least 50mm into the
blockwork and is long enough to suit the thickness of
insulation.

Standard wall-ties are fitted each board course,
450mm vertically.

Testimonial
I have been personally really impressed with the overall SureCav system and have happily
shown some of your prospective customers around my site at Langton Matravers, Dorset,
where we are using it on a house with semi-dry stone walling designed by Western Design
Architects. The biggest advantage, of course, is that you can increase the overall floor area
by using SureCav. I can see this completely doing away with outdated backing block design.
My opinion is that SureCav is the way forward and is a great product and great solution.
