| The
BlockNet® system is composed of specially shaped 3 3/8" deep
28 gauge stainless steel drainage strips with integrated drip edge, horizontal
mesh element and rear water dam, plus a separate vertical mesh element.
The horizontal mesh
element of the BlockNet® system
is 1/8" inch thick, 90% open weave recycled polyester mesh bonded to
the stainless strip's upper surface.
The mesh will not oxidize, rot promote mold or fungus
growth, or react with other common building materials. It suspends mortar
droppings above the stainless steel drainage strip so water flow is unobstructed,
plus its unique, integrated weep tabs extend to the outside of the building,
eliminating the need for separate weep vents.
The vertical element is composed of 7"x7" squares
of the same recycled polyester mesh. Prickly adhesion between the mesh
and the block holds the mesh in place, eliminating the need for adhesives
or fasteners and preventing the mesh from collapsing under the weight
of mortar droppings.
BlockNet® has been researched, engineered and tested
for flashing single wythe walls.
