Mortar Net™ is placed on top of the flashing inside the cavity where it catches and suspends mortar droppings above the level of weep holes and flashing. Dovetail shape prevents the mortar from forming a continuous dam. The shape of the material, in combination with 90% open plastic mesh configuration, allows water and air to move rapidly and easily through material to the weeps.

Mortar Net™ is easy to use. It requires no fasteners or adhesives, no special skills or tools. After the first one or two courses of bricks are laid, place a continuous row of Mortar Net™ in the cavity or collar joint on the flashing against the inside of the
outer wythe at the base of the wall.

To prevent mortar bridging between the outer wythe and inner wall, install flashing and any material used as filler to match cavity width to product size extending from the bottom of Mortar Net™ to at least 6" above the top of Mortar Net™.

Cavity should be no more than 1/4" wider than 1.0" and 2.0" thick material and 0.4 thick material should touch both the outer and inner wall, insulation, or filler used to adjust the cavity size.

Mortar Net™ .4" and 1" material is made of high-density polyethylene. Mortar Net™ 2" is made of recycled polyester. It is compressible horizontally, and can be used in cavities from 1-5/8" wide to 2-1/4". This material will not oxidize, rot, promote mold or fungus, or react with other common building materials such as mortar, cement, asphalt, modified bitumen, PVC, copper, or galvanized metal, thereby ensuring long-term performance for all materials.

• Suspends mortar above flashing and weeps..
• Prevents mortar damming for proper water flow and air circulation.
• Lightweight for inexpensive transporting,; eliminates fasteners and   adhesives.
• Unique patented-shaped design and mesh material permit air and water to   move through the material.
• Compressible to allow for cavity wall size variations.
• Durable, non-reactive material lasts the life of the building.
• Resists UV and insect damage.
• Inexpensive. Elminates the need for any other products to deal with mortar   droppings, including pea gravel, cotton wicks and batter boards, so labor   costs are reduced.

MORTAR NET™ WEEP VENTS
Mortar Net™ Weep Vents provide an easy way to ensure brick cavity and single wythe block construction masonry walls maintain a finished appearance and drain correctly for life. Prevents blocking of weep holes by insects or debris, resulting in efflorescence and other damage cause by water or improper air movement. Ensures walls always breathe, drain, and dry quickly, and keep out insects. Mortar Net™ Weep Vents measure 2.25"x3.5"x.5", and install quickly and easily. Made from recycled polyester with a 90% open mesh and bonded with a flame-retardant adhesive to provide resilience and strength, they're available in a choice of attractive colors to match the mortar being used -- white, brown, tan, gray, almond, or red. Their installation adds to the beauty of the wall by duplicating the texture and color of mortar, thus eliminating open holes and dark shadows. Special sizes are available upon request.
