Cavity Trays

Cavity trays are essential components in cavity wall construction, designed to prevent water ingress into the internal structure of buildings. Installed within the cavity, these trays act as a barrier, capturing any water that enters the cavity space and directing it safely outside the building. By ensuring that moisture is effectively managed, cavity trays help protect against dampness, mould growth, and structural damage, maintaining the integrity and longevity of the building.

Cavity trays are typically used above openings in walls, such as windows and doors, and at roof abutments where different parts of the structure meet. They are also crucial in areas where the cavity is bridged by structural elements, such as wall ties, lintels, or pipes. In these situations, cavity trays ensure that water does not bypass the cavity, safeguarding the internal elements of the building from potential water damage.

Available in various forms, including pre-formed and flexible options, cavity trays are suitable for both new builds and refurbishment projects. Their versatility makes them an essential tool for ensuring that buildings remain dry and structurally sound, regardless of the environmental conditions they are exposed to.
