Typical work sequence
Works can include preparing the cavity, removing obstructions, installing the specified barrier system and rebuilding the affected masonry.
Compression and installation accuracy
Inadequate compression, poor fit or discontinuities can compromise the performance of certain cavity barrier systems.
Our team is experienced in working to tight tolerances, including projects where differences of less than 10 mm matter to the remedial detail.
There is no universal compression figure. The correct dimensions, compression and fixing arrangements are established from the selected product's tested specification and installation instructions, and we install to them.
