Type W Caviweeps/Cavivents ensure water is removed from the building whilst also encouraging the wall to breathe. Being dual-functioned, the Type W takes advantage of the pressure differentials which exist in and out of the cavity. This aids evacuation of cavity humid air. The NHBC standards (4.4c.111) advise that the cavity below DPC level and at eaves and verge level should be ventilated. This requirement is fulfilled using Type W weepvents.
