Perforated Control Cavity Highlights

Perforated Control Cavity maintains a separation between the interior surface of a single-wythe CMU structural wall and the moisture sensitive materials of the interior finished wall.  It creates a drainage system that allows moisture to travel down and out of the wall into a drainage field.

 

Features/Benefits

  • Perforations allow cross ventilation for better drying
  • Rigid and durable; will not compress behind interior finished wall
  • Prevents water bridging
  • 96% post-consumer recycled content
  • “The Green Guard® Classic Wrap provides a layer of air resistance to increase energy efficiency, and it acts as a water-resistive barrier that breathes, allowing moisture vapor to escape and reducing the potential for condensation buildup.” (see Green Guard Classic Wrap website for specs)

Perforated Control Cavity Installation

  • Install with channel pattern running up and down vertically and fabric to interior
  • Overlap all edges and ends a minimum of 1”
  • Overlap horizontal edges shingle fashion to outside concrete, masonry substrate (see Lap & Fastening Detail) – upper sheet laps behind (back-laps) lower sheet
  • Cover entire wall surface, top to bottom, in this fashion
  • Mechanically fasten with concrete nails or power fastener; fastening pattern 2’ on center (see Lap & Fastening Detail)
