The Future of Flashing in CMU

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.
