Mortar Break®

Mortar Break II®

Mortar Catch®

Over 20 years ago Advanced Building Products, a leading manufacturer of thru-wall flashings, saw the need for a less labor intensive way to keep head joints free from mortar droppings.  With this thought in mind we introduced our Mortar Break® system. Since its inception, Mortar Break® has been a cost efficient way to keep head joints free from mortar droppings while saving significant labor costs during the installation phase.  Mortar Break® is now made from 40% recycled materials and qualifies for L.E.E.D. rating system credits.

NOTE: Any mortar deflection device is only as good as the flashing with which it is installed. The Brick Institute of America states in its technical note #21: "It is suggested that only superior materials be selected for flashing, as its replacement in the event of failure will be exceedingly expensive."
