Masonry Support Cavitray Systems

Use
Preformed DPC trays for use with masonry support systems to arrest and discharge penetrating water at optimum level.

Introduction
When constructing off a masonry support system, the DPC is commonly incorporated at a higher level than is ideal. This compromise is because of the difficulties in bringing together and achieving a consistently profiled relationship between metal support and the roll-out material. This compromise can permit penetrating water retained within the masonry sitting on the angle support. In the long term the masonry can suffer discolouration through water retention. In contrast preformed masonry support cavitrays are exactly profiled to sit within the mortar on the support. They provide protection and weep evacuation at the optimum level. A consistent standard and quality of detail is benefited.
