Range of Cavity Trays Products

Brick Cavity Trays

Brick cavity trays are used where a pitched roof meets a cavity wall. These trays are designed to collect water that penetrates the external leaf and channel it safely out of the structure. They often come with factory-fitted lead flashings to ensure a seamless fit and enhanced water resistance.

Block Cavity Trays

Similar to brick cavity trays, block cavity trays are used at the intersection of a pitched roof and a cavity wall. They are particularly useful in block construction and come in various sizes to accommodate different wall thicknesses and roof pitches​​​​.

Horizontal Cavity Trays

These trays are used where a lean-to or mono-pitch roof abuts a cavity wall. Horizontal cavity trays prevent water from entering the building at these junctions, ensuring the integrity of the wall and roof connection​​.

Stepped Cavity Trays

Stepped cavity trays are designed for use where a sloping roof meets an external wall. They step up the wall in line with the roof slope, providing continuous protection against water ingress. These are essential in areas with heavy rainfall and are a common feature in Irish construction​​.

Bespoke Cavity Trays

For unique construction projects, bespoke cavity trays are tailored to specific requirements. These trays can be designed to fit non-standard wall and roof configurations, ensuring optimal performance in complex building scenarios​.

Applications

Construction Sector

In the construction industry, lead cavity trays are used to prevent dampness and water penetration in buildings. They are installed at various points where the wall cavity might be breached, such as above windows, doors, and roof abutments. This application is critical for maintaining the structural integrity and longevity of buildings​​​.

Roofing

Roofing applications of lead cavity trays include providing a waterproof barrier at junctions where the roof meets the wall. This is particularly important in pitched roofs, where water run-off can easily penetrate wall cavities. Lead flashings attached to cavity trays add an extra layer of protection, ensuring that roofs remain watertight even in adverse weather conditions​.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is crucial in modern buildings to prevent moisture build-up and ensure air quality. Lead cavity trays often integrate with ventilation systems to allow airflow while preventing water ingress. This is especially important in roof spaces and external walls, where maintaining a balance between ventilation and water resistance is essential.
