SureCav Fitting with Standard Block Wall

Installing the SureCav Panel with a Conventional Building

• The SureCav panels are placed directly against the insulation sheet holding the insulation in place giving their full efficiency.  Start out with a 225mm piece of corner joint.  This is done to prevent the vertical joints coinciding with every 2nd horizontal joining strip.  Then, starting at the corner, push the panels into the corner joining strip and secure them in place with duct tape.
• Continue to build the panels along, using the joining strips.
• Fit a horizontal joining strip before starting the next row.  It is recommended that the joints of the panels are staggered as this will strengthen the system. Additional panels are fixed as they are required.
• The SureCav panel is fixed in place using a wall tie clip on the wall ties that are fitted as standard at 900mm centres.  Note that the wall ties are located through these horizontal joining strips. If extra ties are required for random stonework, helical ties can be fitted through the sheets of SureCav but, of course, not through the pods.
• Trim the panels to length to meet the corners.  If the cut coincides with the pods, then cut the length short by 300mm or so and insert a new SureCav section.
• Additionally, the panels are cut around vents to allow air into the cavity.
• The stone wall can then be built directly against the SureCav Panel.
• When building up the inner skin of block, always ensure that a board is placed over the cavity.  It is essential that the cavity is kept free of mortar during construction.
