The cavity between the walls should not be too much and less. It
would be wise to keep the gap between 50-75mm.
Ventilation also should be provided at the bottom and top of the wall,
to prevent stagnation of air and humidity.
The few courses of cavity wall at top of the wall are built solid; the base
plate is inserted to ensure uniform load distribution to both leaves of
the wall.
