WWilts Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 New build. Traditional block and brick/stone cavity wall. Cavity closer as usual abuts inner & outer leafs. Windows/doors will project outwards beyond the cavity closer. Builder will seal the cavity closer to the inner leaf. Question: Can the outer leaf / cavity closer junction be left without sealant? Perhaps relying on the window installers (not builder's subbies) to seal the window frame to the external leaf of masonry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPav Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I never understood cavity closers - surely you just whack a strip of PIR in there with squirty foam round the edges, then it's completely sealed and you don't need to worry about whether the window installers will do a good job or not. But that probably says more about me than about the cavity closers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
