Mortar Net


What others have said:

"The manufacturer took all of the components of a conventional system and combined it with the astetics and functions of a brake metal system, and then patented a pre-assembled flashing system that has the full benefits of both systems as well as ease of installation. The factory-fabricated system has preassembled membrane flashing with a hemmed stainless steel or copper drip edge, termination bar and non-clog drainage mat that will allow water to pass out of the wall in weeps found under the veneer. The flashing system has predetermined lap spacing and can be engineered to specific projects at no additional expense to the mason." www.masoncontractors.org

With all of the flashing options available, whether metal, membrane or fabric, it is important to remember that flashings are a key ingredient in a well-crafted installation. Mortar Net's product, a single-wythe, through-wall flashing alternative is available to contractors nationally. The product is a drainage pan that sits directly on standard or decorative CMU and protects each cell individually, using a pitched and insect-protected weep joint. The component bridges the gap between cells and has a removable tab for grouted joints.
