Building for the 23rd Century?
Restoring the 19th Century?
LONGER BUILDING LIFE BEGINS WITH TOTALFLASH
With minimal care, brick buildings can live for centuries. The Solution: TOTALFLASH™ delivers maximum moisture control.
Indeed, brick wall-cavities have just one common vulnerability - trapped moisture. Small amounts of water occur, quite naturally, behind the brickwork. But unless that moisture is expelled - quickly and reliably - it can lead to wall-damage or mold-growth.
The challenge is to find and install the most effective moisture-control system. Ordinarily, this means ordering multiple components, waiting for deliveries, and masons making multiple installation passes. The job slows down and labor costs skyrocket.
And since it's "All-In-One," it can cut your usual Time & Labor Costs by 50% or more!
We've combined all of today's best moisture control methods onto handy, 5-1/2-foot panels of top-quality flashing material, along with the mounting hardware. The panels install at blazing speed, letting the bricklaying begin much earlier.
