Installing Cavi Break thermal break strip cavity batten on Tiny House

Lifestyle Cabins is using our Cavy-Break and Cavi-Vent Solution in their tiny house construction. Ross explains.

“Previously, we used to cut plywood into strips with power tools, then trim to size and attach it to the steel frame with screws, which was time-consuming and created a lot of noise and dust on site.

With ATI’s Cavi-Break products, we’ve eliminated that hassle – trimming is easy, and the self-adhesive backing lets us quickly apply the product directly over the building wrap without the need for power tools. This has streamlined our installation process significantly.

By using ATI products, we’re confident we’ve improved the thermal performance of our tiny homes, with an estimated 25% increase in Total Wall R Value. This means long-term savings on heating and cooling for our customers, ensuring the home is more energy-efficient for years to come.

ATI’s solution also brings real benefits in terms of health and durability. The passive condensation management enabled by the drained and ventilated cavity keeps the wall envelopes drier and reduces the likelihood of mould, supporting healthier indoor air quality for our clients.

We’re committed to delivering tiny homes that perform as beautifully as they look, from aesthetics to functionality, and ATI products are a great fit with that commitment. Their solutions are easy to install, outperform other options on the market, and offer thermal and condensation management that benefits our clients for the lifetime of their homes.

We’d be more than happy to recommend ATI products to other builders.”
