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.

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 I can see this completely doing away with outdated backing block design.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.
