Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation involves placing the slabs vertically within the masonry cavity. The slabs are designed to friction-fit between wall ties, eliminating the need for additional fixings or retaining discs in most standard cavity wall constructions. Ensure the cavity is free from debris before installation. For partial fill, maintain the specified cavity width as per building regulations.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for masonry cavity walls. Ensure compatibility with wall tie spacing and cavity width. It is not intended for use in timber frame constructions or as external wall insulation directly applied to the substrate.
Care:
Knauf Dritherm Cavity Slab 37 requires minimal ongoing care once installed. Its inherent properties resist degradation. Store packs flat in a dry environment before installation to protect from moisture. During installation, minimal dust is produced, but standard good practice for handling insulation materials, such as wearing gloves and eye protection, is recommended. Clean tools after use with water.
