CAVITY TRAYS & PREFORMED DPCs

CI/SfB (21.9)Uniclass L3271December 2015

Acavity wall is designed to preventmoisture penetrating to the insideface of the wall and causing damp

problems in the building.

In many situations it is necessary to includecavity trays in the wall, to prevent waterpenetration to the inner leaf.

This occurs mainly where the cavity isbridged, eg by lintels above door andwindow openings, over air bricks, ducting,meter boxes etc and where an external wallbecomes an internal wall at a lower level,eg pitched or flat roof abutments, parapetwalls.

Cavity tray problems Cavity trays usually require complexshapes, joints and support, which areextremely difficult to form on site usingsheet dpc materials. As a result, manyinstances of damp penetration result fromincorrectly installed cavity trays.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Cavity wall designIn cavity walls, dpc design should be basedon the assumption that rain will penetratethe outer leaf of brickwork or blockworkand run down the inside face of the wall.Anything which crosses or obstructs thecavity can form a bridge allowing water tocross and soak through the inner leaf,causing damp within the building.

For this reason, building regulations requirecavity trays to prevent water penetrationwhere the cavity of an external wall isbridged or where an external wall becomesan internal wall at a lower level. Cavity traysare designed to ensure that water isdiverted to the outer leaf or clear of thebridge.

Cavity trays are necessary in both doubleleaf masonry construction and masonrycladding to timber frame construction.

Where cavity trays are neededTo prevent rain penetration to the inner leaf,cavity trays are needed:

- Where an external wall becomes aninternal wall at lower level, eg at roof/wallabutments and parapets.- Where the wall cavity is bridged, eg by alintel, air brick, ducting or meter box.

Open porches/car portsCavity trays are only required at roofabutments where the abutment wallbecomes an inner wall below the roofline.Open porches and car ports are nothabitable spaces, and therefore are notrequired to have cavity trays. However, if itis possible that a future occupier mightenclose the space, we advise installingcavity trays when first building, to savecostly retro-fitting at a later date.

TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

Approved Document C Site preparationand resistance to contaminants andmoistureApproved Document C does not givedetailed solutions using cavity trays, butrefers to BS codes. The Z-Led solutionsshown on following pages enable therecommendations of these codes to be met.

Internal and external walls (moisturefrom the ground) 5.4 - 5.6 Technical solution includes adamp-proof course, continuous with anydamp-proof membrane in the floor, andwhere necessary a damp-proof tray to preventprecipitation passing into the inner leaf.

Alternative approach By paragraph 5.6 therequirement can also be met by followingthe relevant recommendations of Clauses 4and 5 of BS 8215 Code of practice fordesign and installation of damp-proofcourses in masonry construction.

Cavity external walls (moisture from the outside)5.12 - 5.15 Technical solution includes acavity at least 50mm wide, which can bebridged only by wall ties, cavity traysprovided to prevent moisture being carriedto the inner leaf, and cavity barriers,firestops and cavity closures, whereappropriate.

Alternative approach By paragraph 5.14the requirement can also be met byfollowing the relevant recommendations of BS EN 1996-2: 2006 Design of masonrystructures. Design considerations, selectionof materials and execution of masonry.

CAVITY TRAYS INTRODUCTION

CONVENTIONAL TRAYS PROBLEMS

Many current failures in buildingconstruction can be traced to faulty damp-proof courses and cavity trays caused by:

● Incorrect choice of materials

● Inadequate and incorrect detailing

● Faulty installation.

Many common details required in cavitytrays such as corners, ends and changes inlevel cannot be formed satisfactorily on sitefrom normal dpc sheet materials. Externalcorners in particular are almost impossibleto form on site without leaving gaps wherewater can penetrate.

Difficult junctions have traditionally been leftto the bricklayer on site to resolve. It mayno longer be sufficient to rely on siteexpertise, and often there is little incentivefor the bricklayer to do a careful job informing corners and junctions.

Modern standards of construction demanda better solution.

Faults and solutionsInvestigations by the Building ResearchEstablishment have revealed many faults ininstalled dpcs and trays, see the tablebelow.

Once the building is completed, remedialaction to correct these faults is very costly.

The expense of taking the trouble to ensurea correct installation in the first place, usingpreformed components, is negligiblecompared with the cost of putting faultsright after the building is completed andoccupied.

● Trays are specifically designed to avoid the faults most often encountered with conventional materials.

● All components are preformed or pre-creased, avoiding the need to create complex shapes on site.

● AT Abutment and HT Horizontal Traysare available with optional factory-fitted flashings. These are pre-shaped and securely attached to the trays, so providing a quicker and more reliable installation.

● Integral ribbing or textured finish provides an excellent mortar key.

● Manufactured from robust polypropylene sheet (unless otherwise stated in product descriptions), the trays are virtually indestructible on site.

● Resistant to acids, sulphates and alkalis likely to come into contact with the trays on site.

● One basic design is suitable for all masonry and timber-frame cavity walls.

● A simple range of components for each application makes specifying and ordering very easy.

ABUTMENTS: PITCHED ROOF/WALL

UseAT Abutment Trays offer preformed cavitytray solutions at the junction where thesloping edge of a pitched roof abuts a wall.

The need for a tray at this point is not alwaysfully appreciated; flashings and soakers arenot sufficient. Below the roof line the externalleaf of brick or blockwork becomes aninternal wall, so it is necessary to prevent anymoisture that penetrates the outer leaf fromrunning down and into the building. NHBCStandards for ‘External masonry walls’section 6.1-D6 (a) and BS 8215 ‘Design andinstallation of damp proof courses in masonryconstruction’ specifically recommend the useof preformed abutment cavity trays.

Intra Weep AT Abutment Trays aremanufactured from polypropylene and areavailable with optional factory-fittedAluFlash or lead flashings, avoiding theneed to cut and dress flashings on site.

Intermediate TrayRight Hand

Intra Weep Apex TrayIdentical to the Catchment Tray and the last to be built-in to the outer leaf. Depending upon its position inrelation to the brickwork joints, one or both upstandsmay need to be removed to avoid cutting bricks whichwill be visible on completion; this allows water todischarge to either side.

Intra Weep Intermediate TrayIntermediate Trays are handed, with an upstand at oneend preventing water from entering the cavity. Each trayhas an integral weep to divert water safely on the the roof covering. Each tray must overhang the next by not less than 100mm.

� Universal design For 20º to 55º roof pitches (see Table 1 overleaf).

� Integral weepThe unique integral weep discharges on tothe roof slope to meet the requirement of BS 8215 that “at least one weephole isrequired per cavity tray” for stepped cavitytrays. Avoids the build-up of water flowtowards the bottom of the run, and the risk ofleakage if any one unit is badly installed, or ifmortar droppings cause blockage.

� Integral pitch marksLocated on the back of each tray,these help easy and quickinstallation and avoid incorrect positioning on site.

� 140mm upstand Meets or exceeds the requirements of BS EN 1996-2, BS 8215, andNHBC Standards. It is self-supporting, enabling thetrays to be used with cavities ofany width from 50mm upwards.

� Self-supportingInner and outer leaves ofthe wall can be builtindependently, becausethe tray does not need tobe tied to the inner leaf.This avoids the need to cutblocks horizontally andsaves time.

� Factory-fitted AluFlash*or lead flashing(optional) Trays are also availablewith factory-fitted AluFlashor code 4 lead flashings to BS EN12588 (Code 5available to special order).The flashing, secured byheavy duty stainless steelstaples, together with theweather protection lip andthe bitumen butyl seal,provides completeprotection against weathergiving a driving rainresistant solution in eventhe most exposed sites.When installed the sidelapexceeds the minimum LSArequirement of 50mm.

Removal of tab

Before mortar has set

� Fleximouth mortar barrierActs as a mortar barrier onthe lower leading edge of thetray during installation. Oncethe mortar has set, theprotruding tab is pulled andthe hinge breaks awayleaving a 25mm deep groovein accordance with LeadSheet Associationrequirements. This allows fora flashing to be installedwithout the need to rake outthe joint, which coulddamage the tray.

Appearance of flashingDue to the size of blocks the amount ofexposed flashing may not be aestheticallyacceptable. This can be reduced by one ofthe the following methods:

Using brickwork around the cavity traysThe bricks will be hidden by the flashings.In this case use Intra Weep AT AbutmentTrays, see page 10 for further information.

Rendering the wallRendering should not be applied directly toflashings as this restricts movement andcould cause splitting of the flashing ordetachment of the rendering. Fix expandedmesh to the blockwork, extending down toa bellcast stop bead 150mm off the finishedroof line, partly covering the lead; thisprovides a key for the render and enablesthe lead to move. The rendering will block the tray dischargechannels, so an MV650 MicroventWeephole is supplied with the CatchmentTray. Ensure this is kept clear of render andmortar.

The size of cover flashings required forblockwork abutments can be very large andexpensive. It is possible to maintain theweather integrity of the abutment and bothimprove the finished appearance andreduce the cost of the flashings by utilising75mm coursed Intraweep trays along theline of the abutment and subsequently‘course out’ above the trays to resume thelarger module size of the blocks. thecoursing work will be hidden by thesubsequent render application as shown.

Random course stoneworkThe random nature of natural stoneworkcourse heights can result in variable, andsometimes, unsightly weather flashingsalong the line of the roof abutment,detracting from the overall aesthetics.

Coursing in with 75mm course heightIntraweep trays along the line of theabutment will provide a neat, consistent

coursing to the flashings, and thestonework can be coursed above theabutment line to retain it's randomappearance.

Any coursing work below the cavity trayswill be completely hidden by thesubsequent weather flashings as depicted here.

WALLS, ABUTMENTS

Use HT Horizontal Trays are used:- at top edge abutments of lower level pitched roofswhere flat roofs abut the outer leaf of a cavity wall- at changes of level where AT Trays arenot appropriate, eg on sloping ground- where brickwork is built off a concreteslab or structural ring beam- at the base of masonry cavity walls- over air bricks, ducting and other services which bridge the cavity.

Advantages� Suitable for brickwork and blockwork.� Self-supporting design allows trays to beused with cavity widths from 50mmupwards without the need to build-in tothe inner leaf.

� Avoids the need to build inner and outerleaves together and to line up bed jointsin brickwork and blockwork leaves.

� The tray lip projects slightly from the wallwhen installed. This gives a neaterappearance than conventional dpcs andprevents pointing over, a common fault.

� Preformed from ABS, with internal andexternal angles and stop ends.

� Optional factory-fitted AluFlash or leadflashings remove the need to rake outjoints and point in flashings, saving time,cost and additional trades.

� Integral butyl jointing bead ensuresoverlap of at least 100mm asrecommended by BS 8215 (Section 6.3Table 3). Each component has a pre-applied butyl seal.

� Complies with BS EN 1996-2.� Comprehensive installation instructionsprovided.

BS EN 1996-2 and BS 8215 recommend acavity tray stepped down at least 150mm.There is no recommendation as to whichway the tray should step down. If stepped inwards, moisture could travelalong the underside of the tray and into thebuilding; however, this is only likely in veryexposed situations. If stepped outwards,the tray will direct water to the outer face ofthe wall which may cause staining.

Use LT Lintel Trays, manufactured from pre-creased polypropylene, are used with steellintels over openings. Steel lintels aresometimes claimed to act as cavity trays,but they lack stop ends, so there is a risk ofwater leakage at the ends unless they areextended well beyond the length needed forstructural purposes. BS EN 1996-2 and BS 8215 recommend the use of cavity trayswith stop ends over all openings. There isalso a risk of corrosion of the lintel if theprotective coating is scratched duringbricklaying.

LT Lintel Trays with LTU Stop Ends solve allthese problems. As steel lintels should lastat least 60 years, they are a small price topay for added protection.For concrete or stone lintels it is normallypossible to use HT Horizontal Trays with stop ends.


LT Lintel TraysProvide lintel trays at allopenings to comply withBS 8215. Trays to be Z-Led LT Lintel Trays,preformed and self-supporting. Install withBed Weeps and LTULintel Tray Stop Endswith pre-applied bitumenbutyl seal, in accordancewith manufacturer’sinstructions.

UseThe ASG Abutment Secret Gutter is for usewhere the sloping edge of a flat interlockingtiled roof abuts a wall. With flat tiles, there isa risk of water penetration by capillaryaction between the lead or otheroversoakers and the tiles, particularly onexposed sites or at low roof pitches.Because of this BS 8000: Part 6recommends the use of a secret gutter inthese conditions.

Care is required in the design of secretgutters; a 40mm gap is recommendedbetween the face of the abutment wall andthe tile edge to allow for cleaning out leavesand debris.

The ASG Abutment Secret Gutter should beused in conjunction with Z-Led Intra WeepAbutment Trays with factory-fittedflashings.

In sheltered situations use trays with shortflashings.

In exposed situations, use trays with longflashings secured by clips to act as a coverflashing.
