Introducing...
Hook Shield®



The Mortar Stops Here!

When inadvertent mortar droppings occur, they don't get past Hook Shield, the completely different approach to stopping excess mortar! Hook Shield installs easily with any hook-and-eye, triangle or adjustable tab system, on any veneer anchoring system. The Hook Shield system accommodates any size cavity and may be used on very high walls.

It's A Snap! Constructed of rigid plastic, each Hook Shield piece snaps into place quickly, supported by the stability of the double hook. Double eyelets, placed alternately on the lower courses of masonry, provide staggered spacing for Hook Shield. Mortar droppings are suspended and will not fall to the bottom of the cavity. This avoids mortar buildup and allows moisture to exit through weeps and vents.

Hook Shield is easy to handle, and it's economical. Four small boxes, cach containing 100 pieces, require only two cubic feet of storage. Each box contains 225 pieces which can provide excess mortar protection for approximately 100 linear feet of masonry wall cavity.

Mortar just doesn't get past Hook Shield. It's the new alternative for stopping excess mortar! Call us today at 1-800-MRCA (6722) concerning Hook Shield orany of the items in our complete line of masonry joint reinforcement materials and accessories.

We're always searching for new solutions in the masonry industry.
