Keene Driwall
Masonry Resource Company is pleased to add Keene Moisture Control Solutions to our family of masonry products to protect your building from moisture
Keene Building Products™ manufactures 3-dimensional products for proper moisture control. These entire wall solutions work in wall, masonry, foundation and plaza applications to eliminate moisture problems.
Driwall™ products’ range of solutions for masonry applications include weep vents, mortar collection devices and full wall Rainscreen. In some masonry applications the thickness of the cavity is not sufficient and mortar bridges the cavity. This is especially problematic in thin cavities with 1.0” or less airspace. This Polymer filament mat is sandwiched between different materials to seperate components and create isolation, ventilation and drainage.
- Driwall Rainscreen is available in two different thicknesses and can be used in a cavity wall or Rainscreen wall system
- Mortar Deflection is available in three different thicknesses
- Driwall™ weep vents to create a path for wall ventilation and water drainage to the exterior
About Rainscreens
Installing a rainscreen system behind exterior siding will provide the ventilation space and the drainage space required to vent all types of siding from Masonry and Stone to cement boards, vinyl and just about every other type of siding.
Driwall™ Rainscreen offers many different systems from furring with a 3-dimensional mat to full wall applications. To reduce moisture problems and efflorescence, either the excess mortar must be prevented from entering the cavity or if it does enter, it must be provided with “safe” location to accumulate.
Cavity wall construction allows for the drainage of the incidental moisture that passes through masonry. Having a clear path for that moisture to drain is the answer.
Having a clear path with no mortar dams and no bridging of mortar is the assurance of NO problems later in the life of the building. Masonry buildings can last a lifetime so providing a long term solution to moisture problems is what Driwall™ Rainscreen and Driwall™ Mortar Deflection are designed to accomplish.
