SuperPav Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hi all, what's the recommended sealant/mastic to use for sealing joist ends built into blockwork in a cavity wall for air tightness? I can get to both sides of the leaf (inside and outside) so can seal from both sides. I would've thought something non-setting is better, but if normal silicone or EB25 or CT1 or whatever posh stuff is recommended I'm happy to get it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyshouse Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 tonytray is 100% and permanent , not only the joist ends that leak but the blocks themselves, any cracks and those can develop later, joinsbetween blocks, bed joints and joists can shrink and move too.
