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.
