Cavity walls & detailing

Wall ties, insulation, DPCs, lintels and reveals built in as the work goes up. The detailing is what keeps a wall dry and performing, so we build it in properly as we course rather than leaving it to chase after, on substructure and superstructure alike.

What's included

Cavity Walls & Detailing, done properly

Ties & Insulation

Wall ties set to the right spacing and cavity insulation built in clean and tight as the skins go up, so the cavity performs and stays dry.

DPCs & Cavity Trays

Damp-proof courses, cavity trays and weeps built in at the right levels to throw water out of the cavity instead of into the build.

Lintels & Reveals

Lintels set on proper bearing and padstones, openings formed square and reveals built clean ready for windows and doors.

Built In, Not Chased After

All the detailing built in as we course, to the drawings and cavity spec, so nothing has to be chopped in or patched later.

Frequently asked

Common questions

Why does cavity detailing matter so much?

The cavity, ties, insulation, DPCs and trays are what keep damp out of the inner skin and the rooms beyond. Get the detailing right as you build and the wall stays dry; leave it or rush it and you get cold bridging and damp problems later. We build it in properly as we go.

Do you build the insulation in as you lay?

Yes. The cavity insulation goes in tight against the inner skin as the wall goes up, with the ties holding it back, so there are no gaps and no cold spots. It is far better done as you course than stuffed in after.

Can you form openings for windows and doors?

Yes. We form the openings square, set the lintels on proper bearing and padstones, and build the reveals clean and plumb, ready for the windows and doors to go in.

Do you fit cavity trays and weeps?

We do. Cavity trays go in over openings and at the right levels with weep vents to let any water in the cavity drain back out, all built in as the work goes up.

Will it be built to the cavity spec on the drawings?

Yes. Tie spacing, insulation, DPC and tray levels are all built to the engineer’s and the development’s cavity spec, so it passes inspection and performs as designed.
