FAQs

What is a cavity closer?

A cavity closer is used to close the cavity around openings in walls, such as windows and doors, to prevent moisture and air leakage.

What cavity sizes does this closer fit?

The Trade Store Grey PVC Cavity Closer fits cavities between 50mm and 100mm.

Can I use this for timber frame constructions?

Yes, this cavity closer is suitable for timber frame, steel frame, and masonry constructions.

What tools do I need to install the cavity closer?

You will need a measuring tape, a fine-toothed saw for cutting, and either Easy Grab Plus adhesive or clout nails for fixing.

How do I join the cavity closer sections?

For vertical joints, tightly butt the sections. For corner joints, trim both PVC flanges and allow the vertical to extend below the horizontal to stop water ingress.

How do I ensure a good seal?

Ensure all joints are tightly butted and use appropriate sealant if needed. Overlap vertical sections over horizontal ones.

What is the delivery time?

Orders received by 1 pm are dispatched the same working day, otherwise the next working day, using a free next working day UK delivery service.

Troubleshooting

Difficulties cutting the PVC profile.

Use a fine-toothed saw and ensure the profile is firmly supported while cutting.

Water penetration at joints.

Ensure all joints are tightly butted and, where applicable, overlap the vertical closer over the horizontal.

The cavity closer does not fit the cavity opening.

Double-check your measurements and ensure you are using the correct size for your cavity.
