# BlockNet
When Mortar Net USA introduced BlockNet, World of Concrete acclaimed it the industry's "Most Innovative Masonry Product." BlockNet is a patented, easy-to-install system for preventing moisture-damage in single-wythe block walls. Since water has penetrated the wall, BlockNet's ingenious design captures moisture as it runs down the inside face of the block and channels it to the drainage-strips, then out through integrated drainage tabs, keeping walls attractive and structurally sound.

# Blok-Flash
Blok-Flash delivers the surest, most cost-effective control of moisture and mold-growth in exterior single-wythe CMU wall systems. It provides 10 times greater bond at the exterior bed-joint than a membrane through-wall system, with no water penetration, no by-pass, and rapid expulsion of moisture.
Blok-Flash is a tough, lightweight, embeddable flashing system, suitable for use at all flashing/weep vent locations, including base of wall, above door and window openings, above bond beams, in parapet walls, and wherever flashing is necessary. When moisture infiltrates the wall and flows down the vertical cores, Blok-Flash intercepts it and diverts it to the exterior, quickly and effectively. MortarNet.com 800-664-6638
# TOTALFLASH
Cavity walls are great energy-savers. But over time, nature's moisture invades those cavities. Trapped moisture can weaken the walls or spawn hazardous mold, often leading to costly remediation-even demolition. True value engineering calls for a system that drains walls faithfully & reliably far into the future. TOTALFLASH's long term value lies in its multiple moisture-control methods that are built right into each handy, 5-1/2-foot panel. Greater protection greater longevity. Its short-term value is that it can save you HALF the Time-&-Labor cost (or less) versus installing ordinary flashing-details! Even ONE mason can install it (Added savings: There's no tedious hand-cutting of flashing rolls. And It's "all-in-one," masons don't wait, day after day, for multiple deliveries). Better Drainage. Huge Time-&-Labor Savings. (Now You're Talking VALUE!)
