The Cost-Cutting Secrets Behind These Walls

If you could look behind these walls - into their cavities - here's what you'd find:
1. It's dry back there. (And it will stay dry back there.)
2. They used Mortar Net's patented moisture management system.
Of course, you can't look behind these walls. It would cost a fortune to rip out all that brickwork.
Which is exactly our point: Once moisture is trapped in the cavity of a masonry wall, it can cost the builders far more to repair the effects of mortar damming, freeze/thaw damage, or mold-invasion than the entire wall cost in the first place.
These shrewd builders installed Mortar Net at ground-level while the bricks were being laid, to avoid mold or moisture-damage in the future.
Doesn't it make sense to look into the cost-cutting secret behind those walls (and countless others across America)? We'll put you in touch with someone who will reveal everything.

Both Mortar Net and Weep Vents™ feature Anti-Microbial treatment to inhibit mold growth.
Mortar Net Weep Vents (made of the same 90% open-weave polyester mesh) keep weep holes open, free of insects and debris. They improve the wall's visual beauty by matching both the color and texture of the mortar, eliminating open head joints and dark shadows.
Mortar Net's "dovetail" design captures mortar droppings on its tough, 90% open-weave polyester mesh. Interior moisture flows, unobstructed, through the mesh to the weep vents, then out to the exterior. Air circulates freely, adding to the dryness. Bonded with a flame-retardant adhesive for resiliency and strength, Mortar Net will outlast the bricks it protects.
