BlockFlash

Mortar Net

BlockFlash is a complete, embeddable flashing solution for managing moisture in exterior single wythe CMU walls. It uses patented flashing pans to collect moisture in the wall and channel it to the exterior through integrated weep spouts. Its included drainage mesh provides hundreds of clear pathways for water to flow around mortar droppings inside the block cells so it can be collected by the pans.

Quick Overview


    FEATURES
  • Pans, integrated weep spouts and connector bridges made from high-density polypropylene

  • All 7" x 14" drainage mats made of 90% open weave polyester mesh

  • Factory-installed 90% open weave polyester mesh insect guards keep insects out of the block cells

  • Available for 6", 8", 10", and 12" standard or insulated concrete masonry units

  • Snap-off connector bridge allows fast and easy pan installation in reinforced wall systems and at corners
