Mortar Trap™

Mortar Trap™ is manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) strands woven into a 90% open mesh. Its unique shape breaks up mortar droppings and prohibits mortar from creating a moisture retaining barrier, allowing water to flow freely to the weep holes.

DIMENSIONS:

10″ high x 4′ long
THICKNESS: .4″, 1″, 1 ½” OR 2″

NOTE: When Mortar Trap™ is used with the Quadro-Vent™ Weep Hole additional insect screening is not required.
