What You Will Learn
Five practical outcomes for safer, better-coordinated external wall design.
Navigate the Regulations
Identify key requirements affecting external-wall materials, including Regulation 7 and Approved Document B.
Compare Solutions
Understand the differences between combustible and non-combustible cavity tray systems.
Apply Best Practice
Explore specification principles for windows, doors, balconies, parapets and movement joints.
Improve Verification
Understand how installation, inspection and record keeping support long-term building safety.
Dual performance
One System. Two Critical Functions.
Moisture Protection
Cavity trays intercept water penetrating the outer leaf and direct it safely back to the exterior, helping protect insulation, internal walls and structural components.
Fire Safety
Non-combustible cavity tray systems are designed to avoid contributing to fire spread and to coordinate effectively with cavity barriers, insulation and fire-stopping systems.
In modern high-rise construction, moisture protection and fire performance cannot be treated as separate design considerations.
Guidance
Understanding the Regulatory Context
The correct specification depends on the building’s use, height, location and external wall construction.
Project-specific requirements
Height thresholds and requirements differ by building type and jurisdiction. The CPD discusses relevant 11-metre and 18-metre considerations and the importance of checking current requirements.
- Building Regulations — Regulation 7
- Approved Document B — Fire Safety

Specification
A Better Approach to Specification
Coordinate cavity trays as part of the wider external-wall and fire-safety strategy.
- Specify an appropriate non-combustible material classification
- Confirm compatibility with barriers, brackets, insulation and cladding
- Include cavity trays within fire strategy documentation
- Define requirements in the NBS specification
- Use factory-formed components where appropriate
- Coordinate responsibilities between trades
- Define inspection and sign-off stages
- Record evidence before concealment
