Overview:
CavClearŽ ... Not Just at the Bottom: If you think you understand CavClearŽ, you may be surprised to learn that CavClearŽ is NOT a mortar dropping collection device. CavClearŽ products are a completely different approach to moisture management and airspace maintenance in your masonry designs. CavClearŽ products are NOT installed just at the flashing levels; they are specified and installed throughout the full-height of the masonry. CavClearŽ products are the only complete, patented solution to protect weeps AND prevent mortar bridges.

CavClear® Stone Mat
|
CavClear® Stone Mat is made of a dense, non-woven plastic mesh in 1-in. thickness designed specifically for stone construction.
A continuous drainage area behind stone is beneficial to the long-term performance of the wall. No wall is waterproof. Wind-driven rain will find its way behind stone through penetrations, hairline fractures, cement mortar, and, depending on the stone porosity, through the stone itself. Additionally, condensation can produce moisture on the backside of stone. Therefore, it is important to manage the water that will undoubtedly be part of the wall system. CavClear® Stone Mat provides a continuous area that will allow water to reach the flashing and weep system in stone construction.
