"TOTALFlash" Slashes
Labor Costs While Boosting Moisture-Protection.
Mortar Net USA
has won top awards for its innovative products for controlling moisture
in masonry construction, but their patented new
TOTALFlashintroduced earlier this yearmay be their most
ingenious idea yet. They've taken all the most effective moisture-control
methods
used in cavity-wall construction, plus all the necessary installation equipment,
and pre-assembled them right into handy, pre-cut panels of flexible flashing.
The labor savings are
created by two main features of TOTALFlash: A. Since
the basis of TOTALFlash is a pre-cut, 5-foot flashing-panel, masons no
longer have to waste labor-time cutting clumsy rolls of flashing. They
can just take each fully assembled panel out of the box and screw it into
the back wall of the cavity, a process that can be done in seconds. B. With
all components built right in, there's no downtime waiting for separate
items to be delivered.
It all adds up to far lower labor costs, while providing much higher moisture-control
than most systems being installed today. Furthermore, complete coverage
is enforced by clearly-marked lap-joints.
Here's what TOTALFlash delivers, built into each 5-foot, pre-cut, pre-assembled panel:
1. 5-foot, Pre-Cut
Panels of Flexible Flashing. No cutting needed.
2. Built-In Termination Bar. Just screw it in.
3. Built-In Drainage Matte defeats mortar-droppings.
4. Built-In Edge Dams.
5. Built-In No-Clog Weep Tabs.
6. Built-In Stainless Steel Drip Edge.
7. Clearly Defined Lap-Joints for precise coverage.
8. All Screws & Adhesives included in each package.
9. Stainless Steel Corners, Corner Boots, and End Dams available.
Mortar Net USA reports
that the builders who've used TOTALFlash in their masonry cavity-walls
have seen labor savings of 50% or more, compared to
conventional moisture-control detailing.
