Compatible Compliant Protection

Lintel types and styles over cavity wall openings vary in size and shape. Using a preformed Cavitray instead of conventional DPC removes the variances of onsite cutting and forming.

The compliant protection is scheduled, cost-controlled and stock-controlled.

Type C Cavitrays – cavity width biased – self-supporting or inner leaf integration option – ready-shaped solution.
