ABOUT CAVITY TRAYS

A cavity tray is a damp proof course that crosses the 50mm wide cavity of a cavity wall, stepping up at least 150mm between the outer and inner leaves, to form a cavity tray gutter which leads to a weephole in the outer brickwork leaf. Cavity trays are used at an abutment where brickwork rises above a roofslope; cavity trays keep the wall below dry by draining rainwater back through the outer leaf. The cavity tray is usually built into the bed courses of the outer leaf of brickwork, but cavity trays can be simply turned up to rest against the inner leaf. The outer edge of a cavity tray may be joined to a lead counter-flashing, which later turned down, outside the wall, over the roof upstand flashing when the roof covering is completed.

Cavity trays are often preformed of heavy plastics to many shapes: stepped, staggered, arched, stop ends, etc.
