BLOCKNET
by Mortar Net

Water from driving rains or heavy snowfalls can enter through tiny openings. Trapped in masonry walls, it can cause efflorescence, staining, and freeze/thaw damage. If water penetrates the building, it can destroy expensive interiors or inventory.

Mold-growth is an added hazard if water enters the building where drywall, carpeting or other food source materials exist.

To avoid those costly events, moisture must be captured promptly and channeled back out to the exterior.

The patented BlockNet and Blok-Flash" systems by MortarNet USA, Ltd. reliably protect single-wythe concrete block walls. For information, drawings and specs, and a free sample kit, please call toll-free or visit the Mortar Net website.
