Reasons to choose SureCav for your construction project

SureCav is a polypropylene panel that sits in the cavity and allows a stone, slate, brick or flint
outer skin to be built without the need of an additional block leaf. NEW: SureCav25 allows a
25mm clear cavity!
• Environmentally friendly:
- Made from 100% fully recycled plastic
- Light weight easy to transport
- 100 times lighter than 100mm concrete backing blocks
• Incorporates a new fold line that makes it easy to construct corners
• Will save you money, guarantee clean and moisture free cavities and create up to 7.6%
extra internal floor space with narrower footings, when original external dimensions are
used
• SureCav is a Cavity Wall Spacer System, BBA Approved 04/4154
• It significantly reduces labour and material costs
• It gives a faster cleaner build
• SureCav guarantees absolute integrity of the cavity by providing clean moisture free
cavities that also stop water penetration from wind driven rain
• It is durable and remains effective for the life of the building
Gone are the days when builders had to
use concrete blocks or even a messy
system of
temporary shuttering or plywood that
often weakened the wall when removed,
as well as allowing mortar to fill the cavity.
Construction materials
• The SureCav Cavity Wall Spacer System is designed for use in new, external cavity wall
construction
• The system ensures a minimum residual cavity width of 25mm when using natural or
reconstituted stone outer leaf in conjunction with:
- Conventional masonry inner leaf, with or without partial fill cavity wall insulation
(masonry includes clay, calcium silicate, concrete and stone units)
- Timber frame inner leaf
• The system may also be used with conventional clay and calcium silicate brick and concrete
block outer leafs
• The system can be used in any exposure zone in buildings with a 25mm cavity instead of
the usually required 50mm or 75mm.
Testimonial
“SureCav is a fantastic product and as we said in the CPD it has very much become standard
detail for stonework within the office. Perhaps now with knowledge of the further advantages
of waterproofing and stability it may become more widely specified for other cavity wall types
also. Many thanks for all your help and we hope that our support of your product will continue
to push SureCav as a recognised standard for cavity wall construction within the industry.”
