The design of contemporary cavity wall assemblies is the result of a century of trial and error. During the transition from mass masonry walls to the “four barrier” (i.e. water, air, vapor, and thermal barrier) assemblies of today’s construction, the “early veneer walls” constructed between the mid- to late-20 th century emerged.
