  • Solid DPC Polypropylene.
  • Lead flashing BS EN 12588.

  • Integral cavitray sealing flap links with upper tray.
  • Feature on the tray end upstand arrests horizontal tracking at this vulnerable point.
  • Adjusts for cavities from 50mm up to 160mm.

USE

Insertion of Type X Remedial Cavity Tray above the new roofline can arrest such dampness and be used to satisfy Building Regulations.

Description

Where a pitched roof conservatory or extension attaches to an existing cavity wall, flashing the intersection only will not prevent dampness permeating downwardly within that skin. Insertion of Type X Remedial Cavity Tray above the new roofline can arrest such dampness and be used to satisfy Building Regulations.

Insertion entails cutting out masonry on a progressive basis, a distance above the roof of the new structure. Once a few bricks (or equivalent) have been removed, the hinged upstand of the Type X Cavitray is turned down until it is horizontal. This permits the tray to be inserted into the opening and bedded on mortar. As the tray enters the opening the hinged cavity upstand is allowed to flex upwardly. So doing enables it to service the cavity width as encountered. This is repeated in subsequent courses until the top is reached where the last tray to be inserted is normally a ridge tray.
