Hands-On Airtightness Training : Mastering Seals Around Cavity Closers

Recently, we had the pleasure of visiting Richard and the team at Neve Builders on their impressive new build project. We delivered practical, hands-on training with our multifunction airtight tape, with a strong focus on achieving reliable and durable seals around cavity closers.One of the standout features our Technical Manager Ben demonstrated was the innovative back slit (split-liner) design of the tape. This clever feature makes application significantly smoother and more precise on site.

Key benefits include:

  • Apply one side first, then the other – eliminating the struggle of handling a full liner at once
  • Ideal for tricky junctions, transitions, and detailed work
  • Creates a continuous, airtight bond without gaps or lifting
  • Prevents moisture ingress while maximising the thermal performance of the cavity closer
  • Performs to W1 water resistance with a typical 15m SD value
  • Saves valuable time on site and reduces the risk of costly air leakage issues later

The training allowed Richard and the Neve Builders team to practice real-world detailing techniques that help deliver superior airtightness, improved energy efficiency, and full compliance with current building standards.Sealing critical junctions such as cavity closers not only prevents moisture problems but also ensures the full thermal benefit of the insulation is realised. For projects requiring intelligent moisture management, we also supply variable SD airtight membranes and tapes that allow controlled diffusion toward the external side of the building envelope.

A huge thank you to the entire Neve Builders team for the warm welcome and for putting the tape through its paces in real site conditions.
Practical, on-site training like this remains one of the best ways to demonstrate how the right products and correct installation techniques can make a genuine difference to building performance.
