GREEN DATACOMPANY OVERVIEW
Masonry Technology, Inc. provides the leading technology for the masonry industry when it comes to removing moisture from building envelopes. Only Masonry Technology, Inc. products put the "tunnel" weep holes at the lowest point of the wall, where the water is, and allow all the water to escape, every time. For over 25 years we have invested ourselves in making improvements for the masonry industry.
We have also invested in providing Contractors, Architects, and Engineers useful information and just as important - making that information easy to find and use.

Economical Rainscreen - Gravity Cavity™
Thin Stone, Stucco, Thin Brick, Fiber Cement & Cedar Siding
Today's "tighter" buildings increase the risk for moisture and mold problems. Rainscreen systems greatly reduce this risk by enabling moisture to swiftly exit the building envelope. Rainscreens are inexpensive insurance to mitigate the risk of wall failure.

Rainscreen Compatible Termination - L+R Weep Screed™
Stucco, Thin Stone & Thin Brick
Most weep screeds feature small holes for keying and rely on shrinkage cracks to drain - but the L & R Weep Screed features large slots to drain incidental moisture and ventilate the rainscreen wall system.

Self-Spaced Weeps - Cavity Weep™ / Cavity Vent
For Brick Veneers & Single Wythe Masonry
Common weep tubes and ropes in cavity walls are ineffective at weeping, and poor installation often makes drainage impossible. Cavity Weep self-spaced weeps that roll out on the flashing ensure ample weeping capacity and foolproof installation.

Time Saving Weeps & Spaces - Head Joint Weep™
For Brick Veneers & Single Wythe Masonry
Weeps work when they create a path for drainage at the lowest point in the cavity wall - in this case, directly on the lintel or shelf angle flashing. Head Joint Weeps are 3/8" wide - the same as a mortar joint - so they act as a time-saving spacer for creating great looking brick joints.

Concealed Steel Lintel/ Shelf Angle Weep System™
For Brick Veneers
The Concealed Steel Lintel/Shelf Angle Weep System™ is used with lip brick set in a bed joint of mortar to move moisture out and away from this sensitive detail. The Concealed Steel Lintel/Shelf Angle Weep System™ creates tunnel weeps beneath the bed joint of mortar where an effective weep should be - at the lowest point!

Weeps for CMU Veneers - Core Cavity Weep™
CMU and Jumbo Brick Veneers create two cavities where water can accumulate: in the block cores and the cavity between the veneer and structural back-up wall. Core Cavity Weep™ is unique design drains the cores and the wall cavity by creating drainage tunnels below the bed joint mortar, directly on the flashing.

Reduces Risk in Rough Openings - Moisture Diverter™
When it comes to moisture intrusion windows are frequently the weak point in wall assemblies. Any opening or protrusion in the wall that interrupts the drainage plane requires a moisture management plan and good detailing. The Moisture Diverter™ integrates with the rainscreen drainage plane and moves the moisture away from the opening, modify the risk.
