larger view Block Net™

The Block Net ™ system is composed of specially shaped 3-3/8″ deep 28 gauge stainless steel drainage strips with integrated drip edge, horizontal mesh element and rear water dam, plus a separate vertical mesh element.
The horizontal mesh element of the Block Net™system is 1/4″ thick, 90% open weave polyester mesh bonded to the stainless strip’s upper surface.
The mesh will not oxidize, rot, promote mold or fungus growth, or react with other common building materials.
Suspends mortar droppings above the stainless steel drainage strip so water flow is unobstructed, plus its unique, integrated weep tabs extend to the outside of the building, eliminating the need for separate weep vents.
The vertical element is composed of 7″ x 7″ squares of the same mesh. Prickly adhesion between the mesh and block holds the mesh in place, eliminating the need for adhesives or fasteners and preventing the mesh from collapsing under the weight of mortar droppings.
Because the drainage strip extends only 3″ into the wall, it will not interfere with properly installed vertical rebar.

Shipped in boxes of 20, 6′ long stainless steel drainage strips, plus 150 vertical element.
Each box contains enough material for approximately 110 lineal feet of wall.
Preformed corners are also available separately.
BlockNet™ has been researched, engineered, and tested for flashing single wythe walls.
