Abstract

The cavity fills were installed in conventionally built houses, and subjected to a wetting regime which represented severe weather conditions which occur occasionally in Britain. It was found that some water crossed a few of the unfilled cavities under the test conditions but that filling the cavities always reduced the water resistance of the wall. The performance of the fills differed considerably in this respect but the results showed that some fill materials permitted only little water to cross in the test programme.
