Safe-R Close-R

Safe-R Close-R

Structural failures in cavity walls are largely due to the incorrect placement of wall ties within the cavity. Openings at windows and doors require additional wall ties to be placed at a maximum 225mm into the cavity at every course of block. It is also a requirement under TGD Part A that additional wall ties must be placed at gable end openings and either side of expansion joints.

These extra structural ties do interrupt the continuity of the insulation layer and increase Thermal Bridging issues at very vulnerable areas, with mould growth normally most evident at reveals.

Safe-R Close-R achieves an excellent fire rating and allows for the correct placement of wall ties to meet TGD Part A structural requirements. The superior insulation performance attains Passive & NZEB standards for Thermal Bridging.
