Mortar Break® DT is our multi-level mortar deflection system for cavity wall construction that breaks up mortar on four different levels. Our design gives specifiers and contractors more options from one manufacturing source.
Basic Use:
For use at all cavity wall flashing locations. The molded polymer core geomatrix design allows moisture to seep down through any mortar droppings and weep out of the wall through mortar free weep vents.
Mortar Break® DT used with properly installed flashing and weep vents, along with good mortar applying techniques, will ensure the performance of a well-designed masonry wall.
Features & Benefits
- The unique configuration provides uniformity and structural integrity which will stand up to the weight of the mortar.
- The dovetailed design allows mortar droppings to break up on multiple levels for proper drainage to the exterior of the wall system.
- Will not rot or react with common building materials.
- Requires no adhesives, fasteners, or special skills to install.
- The nesting design of Mortar Break® DT allows for more linear feet per pallet reducing freight costs.
- The 90% open mesh allows for proper air movement and water drainage.
