English term or phrase: non cavity wall
cavity wall = "parede dupla".
But parede "sem cavidade" does not appear to be an appropriate Brazilian translation of "cavity" in this context .

Portuguese translation:parede simples
Explanation:
As cavity walls are not common in Brazil, I suspect that "parede simples" could express it, while a cavity wall would be "parede dupla".
