Cavity Wall

A cavity wall is a type of wall made up of two separate layers with a gap (cavity) between them, commonly used in construction to improve insulation and prevent moisture penetration. The outer layer, called the outer leaf, acts as the protective barrier while the inner layer, known as the inner leaf, provides additional stability and support.

Usage Examples:

1. The new house was built with a cavity wall to enhance thermal efficiency.
2. The architect specified the use of cavity walls to prevent dampness in the building.
3. One of the advantages of a cavity wall is its ability to reduce noise transmission from outside.
