Clause 180 | CAVITY CLOSURES FOR CLOSING AROUND WINDOW & DOOR OPENINGS

• To extend not less than 150mm beyond ends of lintels/bridgings.

• Reference: eg.PP2.4/50 (Thermo-loc +, Expanded Polystyrene, 2.4m, 50mm)

• BRE Document ‘Thermal insulation: avoiding risks’ stipulate “When a window or door frame is set back behind the inner face of a dense outer masonry leaf, it should overlap an insulated closer by a minimum of 30mm for BRE exposure zones Sheltered to Severe; but fully rebated (check reveals) for zones Very Severe”.
• With reference to insulation, the products in this range do not use, contain or produce Urea Formaldehyde, CFCs or indeed any of the so-called soft CFCs, ie. HCFCs & HFAs. They have an ozone depletion potential of zero and global warming potential of less than 5 and complies with BS EN 13163.

• The accredited construction detail published by DCLG require a minimum overlap of 30mm between the window frame and cavity closer.
• Cut into required lengths allowing jamb section to overlap the sill section by cutting away parts of the fixing flange and to butt the underside of the lintel.
• For second fix applications, the cavity closer is pushed into the open cavity after building work is complete. The compressible nature of the exposed insulation material is used to create a friction fit in the cavity, or alternatively the insulation can be trimmed to fit using a sharp knife.
  Fixing nails to the flanges are recommended to ensure a secure fit.
• Cavity insulation should butt tightly to the cavity closer.

• Establish the cavity width and select the correct cavity closer width to ensure the cavity can be closed.
• In jamb and sill applications, estimate the total length of cavity closer required and order the correct number of 2.4 metre lengths ensuring no joint pieces.
