Choosing the Right Cavity Unit: Good, Better, Best 

Choosing the Right Cavity Unit: Good, Better, Best 

When planning your next project, choosing the right cavity unit can make all the difference to both functionality and finish. In choosing cavity units it’s important to consider the size and weight of your doors – are you installing a single cavity slider, or a double door system? Is a soft closer required? You should also take into account the location of the cavity, particularly in wet or tiled areas where traditional timber cavities may not be suitable. At NHS, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions, from standard timber cavity units to advanced moisture resistant options designed for more demanding spaces.
