Cavity wall is where to walls are built parallel to each other with solid blocks the space between them is usually 3-4 inches is referred to as the cavity. The reason for the cavity is to prevent water penetration . they only connected by wall tights that do not allow water penetration. This cavity can be filled with insulation of varies types in our to keep heat retention in.
A. A Cavity Wall is constructed by means of Building two Walls parallel to each other using Solid Blocks and leaving a gap of 3-4 inches between them. The Walls are not bridged anywhere and this eliminates the risk of Water penetration to the inner leaf. A Cavity Block Wall is constructed by building a single Wall using these Hollow Blocks and placing them on top of each other in a staggered manner.
