Mortar Net

Description

The Mortar Net is manufactured of high density polyethylene (HDPE) or nylon strands woven into a 90% open mesh. It will not react with common building products including PVC, polystyrenes, copper, rubberized-asphalt, lead, stainless steel or galvanized metal. It will not absorb or trap moisture, will not support mold or fungus, and is inedible to insects. It will not degrade as a result of temperature variations and is designed to last for the life of the building.

• Catches and permanently suspends mortar droppings in masonry cavity walls above the level of the flashing and weeps so blockage of weep hole vents can't occur. Weep holes stay open.
• Eliminates the need for any other system to deal with mortar droppings such as cotton wicks, pea gravel or batter boards.
• Eliminates inexact design language such as, "weep holes shall remain open," so designer takes control and responsibility for the wall's performance.
• Available 0.4", 1" or 2" thick.
• Unique patented dovetail shape breaks up mortar droppings and prevents mortar damming so water always has open flow paths to the weep holes.
• 90% open plastic mesh construction allows unobstructed passage of air & water through the material itself so walls breath, drain and dry quicker.
• Specifically designed to work in conjunction with standard flashing/weep hole drainage systems in masonry cavity walls.
• Simply stand in collar joint or cavity, requires no fasteners or adhesives, no special skills or tools, so installation by masons is fast and easy.
• Lightweight for inexpensive and easy shipping, storage, handling and installation - even on high scaffolding.
• Slightly compressible to allow for cavity variations in the field.
