Understanding Cavity Trays
A cavity tray is a damp-proofing device installed within cavity walls to redirect moisture away from the inner structure, preventing dampness and associated issues.
These trays are particularly crucial above openings like windows and doors, and where roofs intersect with walls.
Without them, water can seep through gaps in masonry, leading to mould, damp patches, and structural deterioration. Over time, existing cavity trays may deteriorate or become ineffective due to poor initial installation, material degradation, or building movement. This necessitates timely replacement to maintain the building’s integrity and protect the interior environment.
