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 was followed by 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;
“July was an incredible month for Cavalok sales – in 23 years we haven’t seen as much demand in such a short period of time. It is a likely implication that we are in the early stages of a recovery.
“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.
