Building For The 23rd Century?
Restoring The 19th Century?
Longer Building Life begins with TOTALFLASH CAVITY-WALL DRAINAGE SYSTEM by Mortar Net USA, Ltd.
With minimal care, brick buildings can live for centuries.
Indeed, brick wall-cavities have just one common vulnerability-trapped moisture. Small amounts of water occur, quite naturally, behind the brickwork. Unless that moisture is expelled-quickly and reliably - it can lead to wall-damage or mold-growth. The challenge is to find and install the most effective moisture-control system. Ordinarily, that means ordering multiple components, waiting for deliveries, and masons making multiple installation passes. The job slows down and labor costs skyrocket.
The Solution: NEW TOTALFLASH delivers maximum moisture-control.
And since it's "All-In-One," you can cut your usual Time & Labor Costs by 50% or more!
We've combined all of today's best moisture-control methods in handy, 5-foot panels of top-quality flashing material, with the mounting hardware. The panels install at amazing speed, letting the bricklaying begin much earlier. Call 800-664-6638 today or visit www.MortarNet.com!
