ThermabateTM have supplied their preformed cavity closers to a college, for educational purposes. Acton & West London College is a Centre of Vocational Excellence in Construction Crafts : Wood and Plastering Trades and prides itself on providing students with state of the art facilities and first class teaching.
A representative from ThermabateTM visited the college to discuss the use and benefits of the product with the final year students. Course lecturers felt that the exercise was invaluable in re-inforcing the College’s best practice policy by highlighting the importance of using quality, sustainable products in modern methods of construction.
The ThermabateTM insulated cavity closer provides a simple and efficient method of closing cavities around openings in masonry walls. The insulating foam core prevents thermal bridging, while the PVC-U box section forms a positive damp proof barrier and key for the direct application of plaster. It effectively prevents condensation, pattern staining and mould growth frequently associated with traditional methods of closing cavities.
ThermabateTM insulated cavity closer obviates the need for cut bricks or blocks to close cavities and avoids problems encountered when supporting traditional dpc’s and insulation boards during construction.
ThermabateTM ensures a more positive detail around openings and offers a time saving profile when built in. It is suitable for use with timber, metal or plastic window frames and can also be supplied to order in curved sections.
Manufactured under strict controls to ensure BBA compliance, ThermabateTM is also a half hour fire rated product which meets the modern day requirements of Approved Document Part L1 and L2 Building Regulations.
ThermabateTM is committed to supporting further education and by supplying product free of charge it hopes to highlight ThermabateTM cavity closers as a sustainable, modern construction method, whilst helping students gain an understanding of it’s use.
