Features and Benefits
Prevents
Moisture-Related Failures
Eliminates callbacks – Proper drainage and adequate ventilation reduce cracking and promote durability.
Ensures long-term performance – Maintain proper ventilation and prevent moisture/thermal bridging.
Ensures
Water Management
Prevents mortar bridging – Mortar bridges obstruct a continuous moisture migration path, inhibiting proper drainage.
Eliminates
weep obstructions
– Mortar is kept in proximity to the mortar joint so it does not fall
to the flashing or weeps.
Reduce Life-Cycle Costs
Reduce energy costs – Prevent mortar bridges that allow thermal and moisture transfer between the wythes.
Designed for sustainability and performance – An obstructed airspace will cause drainage and ventilation problems that lead to costly repair.
Made from 100% Recycled Plastic
