What are Cavity Closers Made of?
In terms of how they’re made, cavity closers are typically made of metal or plastic, and are designed to fit into the opening they are being used to close up. They come in a number of shapes and sizes, and can be custom-made to fit any specific opening. The installation process is relatively simple and straightforward and can be completed in a few easy steps, which we’ve outlined below.
The Installation Process
First of all, the builder will measure the opening they are trying to close up, and then cut a piece of the cavity closer to fit. Once the cavity closer is cut, it is then inserted into the opening using a hammer or with screws if the material is metal. It is important to ensure that the cavity is properly secured in place before continuing.Next, the builder will need to seal the edges of the cavity closer to ensure a tight seal. This can be done with a variety of materials such as sealants or caulks. Depending on the material being used, the builder may need to use a specific type of sealant, or may need to apply multiple layers of sealant in order to achieve a strong seal.Finally, the builder will need to cover up the edges of the cavity closer with insulation. This can be done with a variety of materials, such as fibreglass or foam insulation. It is important to ensure that the insulation is properly secured in place, and that the edges of the cavity are completely sealed in order to get the most out of the insulation.Overall, cavity closers are a great way to ensure that openings and gaps in the walls or ceilings of a building are properly sealed and insulated. They are relatively easy to install, and can be a great way to save money on insulation and other materials.
