96,000 Frames Worth of Cavity Closers in One Month

» EUROCELL ACHIEVED its highest-ever sales volume in one month for its range of Cavalok Cavity Closers , potentially indicating that the housebuilding market is in the early stages of a strong recovery .
Eurocell sold 364,000 metres of Cavalok , equating to a staggering 96,000 frames , in July . It ’ s the highest volume the system ’ s house has sold in 23 years of trading the product .
The demand for Cavalok from the industry underscores a renewed confidence in the sector that an uplift in the rate of new homes being built could well be underway - following a series of positive announcements that will likely have an impact on house building .
In early August , the Bank of England cut the base rate
of interest , which followed on from The Government announcing plans for growing the economy , with house building at the heart of it . The Chancellor and Deputy PM unveiled plans to reintroduce compulsory house building targets in England and intentions to relax planning laws too .
Martin Benn , Head of New Build at Eurocell , is cautiously optimistic about what the
demand for Cavalok means for the industry : “ Many economic and policy factors have come together to fuel optimism , and that optimism is reflected in the outlooks published by some of the industry ’ s leading housebuilders including Taylor Wimpey , who are anticipating growth in 2025 .
“ I think many in the industry believe H2 will show signs of moderate recovery , setting
up for a strong 2025 . The last few years have been challenging and I think everyone is ready to step-up to get building again .
Eurocell ’ s Cavalok Cavity Closers offer significant benefits , enabling brick courses to be completed while creating an airtight receiver for windows and doors . This ensures that , regardless of a wall ’ s size or composition , installers can quickly and cost-effectively close the cavity at window and door openings , instantly improving a property ’ s thermal efficiency and reducing energy bills .
The closers also comply with Accredited Construction Details and meet Part L of Building Regulations .
