Flashing

land directly on the jobsite. It is supported by a hands-on representative who can work with the masons to help solve any flashing needs.

Single-wythe through wall flashing in a standard dimensioned CMU wall has been an issue for masons for a while, due to the start-and-stop method of using smaller dimensioned materials turned on end. This method forms a path for the flashing to pass through the wall, using two bed courses, one vertical course apart. The start-and-stop method can potentially create a bond break as the membrane is placed on the CMU directly, with the mortar then placed on top of the membrane to support the following courses. This method also requires the mason to return to the flashing course after the smaller unit (usually only one side) has set, before completing the main body of the wall. Often, it can be weeks before the general contractor is ready for the mason to return, which can create a possibility for water to enter the foundation walls in areas where rainfall is prevalent.

A single-wythe, through-wall flashing alternative is available to the contractors nationally. The product is a drainage pan that sits directly on the standard or decorative CMU and protects each cell individually, using a pitched and insect-protected weep joint. The component bridges the gap between cells and has a removable tab for grouted joints. Simply place the pans on the wall, spread your mortar as you would typically.
