CAVITY WALL A cavity wall or hollow wall is the one which consists of two separate walls called leader or skins with a cavity or gap in between them. The two leaves of a cavity wall may be of equal thickness if it is a non load bearing. The internal leaf may be thicker than the external leaf to meet the structural requirements. Cavity walls are often constructed forgiving better thermal insulation to the building. It also prevents the dampness to enter and act as sound insulation. The inner and outer skins should not be less than 10cm each(half brick). - Study24x7
