MortarNet™ with Insect Barrier™ | The Original Mortar Dropping Collection Device

MortarNet™ with Insect Barrier™ is a trapezoidal shaped mesh used to suspend mortar droppings above the flashing and weeps, so they stay clear and unobstructed. It’s available in four different sizes to account for varying cavity wall widths, and the Insect Barrier portion of the product helps prevent insects from entering the wall through the weep joints.

Pardon our dust as we update the website and literature to reflect the new design for 1-1/2″ & 2″ MortarNet.  The redesign includes a dual mesh product that maintains airflow in the cavity and is more compressible to account for variations in the cavity width.

Features

• Dual levels with Trapezoidal shape
• 0.4” & 1” made from a structural strand polymer mesh bonded to a polyester fabric (insect barrier)
• NEW – 1-1/2” & 2” made from a structural strand polymer mesh bonded to a compressive hi-loft mesh (insect barrier)
• Patented Insect Barrier installed facing outwards, helps prevent wall damage and health hazards from insect infestations
• Made from 40% post-consumer recycled content
• Structural strand polymer mesh construction provides hundreds of pathways for moisture to exit the cavity
• Is very permeable to air, water and water vapor due to the low fiber density of the non-woven structure
• Helps prevent efflorescence, damage from freeze-thaw cycles and mold growth
• Easy to transport, handle and cut, even on scaffolding
• Installs easily on brick ties in multi-story cavity walls
• Recycled content helps with LEED certification
• Helps eliminate callbacks to repair moisture damage
• Provides masons and building owners with a greater peace of mind

Weep holes must be used with MortarNet to allow effective moisture drainage and wall drying. Click on WeepVent or CellVent to see how they can help keep weep holes open and prevent insects from entering the cavity through the weeps.
