Default insulated cavity closers - space allowance ?

If using insulated cavity closer, (e.g. thermabate etc), rather than
closing with the inner blockwork, do you need to allow some space for
the closers ? E.g. when leaving an opening of some fixed dimension for
a window, should you increase the brickwork opening by some
millimetres, in order to allow for the closers ?
Thanks,
Simon.

If they are anything like mine then 1mm should cover it
