    Cavity Wall Systems

    • Cavity walls consist of two 'skins' separated by a hollow space (cavity). The skins are commonly masonry such as brick or concrete block. Masonry is an absorbent material, and therefore will slowly draw rainwater or even humidity into the wall. The cavity serves as a way to drain this water back out through weep holes in the base of the wall system. A cavity wall with masonry as both inner and outer skins is more commonly referred to as a double wythe masonry wall.

    Single Wythe

    • This efficient and economical masonry system allows a single layer of brick to perform as both the structure and the exposed surface of the wall.
