WWilts Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Are two cavity trays necessary in this situation? How important is the lower tray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 That’s an MI detail for a specific stone / recon stone lintel that requires a slip plane. Means the outer stone isn’t structural in any way and takes all the loading off it. Only works if you can get a concrete (or box lintel) the correct size and dimensions to match the stone on the inside leaf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tks. But why the lower cavity tray? Necessary? Edited June 20, 2021 by WWilts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Stone product is potentially porous so may allow water into the cavity and behind the window / door and inside the building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
