LathNet™ | Patented Drainage Plane and Metal Lath System for Adhered Masonry Veneers

Description

Mortar Net Solutions has developed a new, patented, solution that combines a NEW structural strand polymer drainage mesh that offers up to 5 times greater airflow and 2.5lb or 3.4lb metal lath into a single component that streamlines installation. Mortar Net worked closely with experienced, professional masons throughout the system’s development to ensure it would perform in the field. Good practice recognizes the need for drainage and ventilation in adhered masonry veneer installations and Mortar Net has applied its decades of experience in moisture management to create a highly reliable, factory assembled system.
