No Masonry is Truly Waterproof

"No masonry is truly waterproof, whether the result of capillary action, absorption or construction error", says Gary Johnson in SmartSolutions, a Masonry Educational Series on mortarnet.com. "During the multi-decade life spans of typical high-quality structures, drainage in the cavity of a masonry veneer wall is necessary to minimize moisture damage and create a long-lasting, low-maintenance wall.

MortarNet鈩 with Insect Barrier鈩 - the original mortar dropping collection device

In masonry cavity walls, mortar collection above the flashing and weep hole levels is vital for proper masonry cavity wall performance and to prevent water damage. In today鈥檚 walls, it鈥檚 common to see a 2鈥 cavity reduced to the minimum requirement of 1鈥 with the inclusion of insulation, so the need for better ventilation is essential to keep the wall dry and trouble-free. MortarNet鈩 with Insect Barrier鈩 suspends mortar droppings above the flashing and weeps, so they stay clear and unobstructed. The patented Insect Barrier helps deter insects from entering the cavity through the weep holes. Its NEW design using a structural strand polymer mesh allows moisture to flow to the weeps and significantly greater airflow within the cavity to promote drying.
