Product Overview
Plastic Insulation Retaining Clips with a 65mm length. These durable polypropylene fasteners hold insulation boards or batts securely in place against wall ties within cavity wall systems.
Each clip locks onto the wall tie, maintaining firm insulation contact with the inner leaf and preventing slippage or displacement over time. The rigid plastic material is corrosion-proof and moisture-resistant, ensuring long-term performance within the cavity environment.
These clips are specifically suited to partial-fill insulation applications where thinner insulation boards are used and a shorter clip is required to achieve a correct fit.
Their design allows quick, tool-free attachment to standard wire or strip wall ties, streamlining installation across both new-build and retrofit projects.
By ensuring the insulation remains correctly positioned throughout construction and building life, the clips contribute to consistent thermal efficiency and wall integrity. Their compact 65mm size provides reliable support without obstructing the designed cavity clearance.
Features & Benefits
- Material construction: Moulded from robust polypropylene offering resistance to corrosion, moisture, and temperature variation within cavity walls.
- Universal compatibility: Fits a wide range of wall tie types used in masonry cavity construction, simplifying specification and ordering.
- Firm grip retention: Locks positively onto the wall tie to prevent insulation movement or sagging once positioned.
- Ease of installation: Quick push-fit action allows clips to be attached by hand without special tools, improving site efficiency.
- Lightweight and durable: Low mass for easy handling yet strong enough to maintain grip throughout the life of the wall.
- Clip length: The 65mm clip length provides a secure fit for thinner insulation layers used in partial-fill cavity wall systems. It suits lightweight and thinner partial-fill insulation boards, ensuring proper seating and secure retention.
Applications
- Partial-fill cavity walls: Designed for use with insulation boards or batts that only occupy part of the cavity space.
- Thinner insulation materials: Suitable for rigid board insulation where reduced thickness requires a shorter retaining clip.
- Retrofit or renovation projects: Effective for upgrading insulation where cavity space may be restricted.
- General wall tie insulation retention: Provides reliable insulation restraint across various domestic and commercial wall constructions.
- New-build cavity wall systems: Used during construction to maintain insulation alignment and avoid cold bridging.
Installation Guidance
- Preparation: Confirm wall ties are installed at correct centres and embedded as per design.
- Clip fitting: Push each clip onto the wall tie until it snaps securely into position.
- Insulation placement: Position the insulation board flush against the inner leaf of the wall.
- Securing: Press the clip head against the insulation surface until firm retention is achieved.
- Check alignment: Inspect that clips are evenly spaced and insulation remains flat with no gaps.
- Spacing compliance: Follow project or manufacturer’s recommendations for wall tie and clip spacing to ensure adequate support.
Compliance & Performance
- Material specification: Manufactured from polypropylene approved for use in cavity wall environments; resistant to degradation and chemical exposure.
- Retention strength: Tested for secure grip on standard wall ties and consistent hold of insulation during and after construction.
- Environmental suitability: Withstands the damp, alkaline, and thermally varied conditions found within masonry cavities.
- Regulatory alignment: Suitable for use in UK cavity wall insulation systems in accordance with relevant building standards and installation guidance.
- Important note: These clips are designed solely to retain insulation in place on wall ties; they are not intended for structural load-bearing applications.
