TOTALFlash Cavity-Wall Drainage System

Slashes Labor Costs. Improves Protection.

Your building's masonry exterior is its first defense against environmental harm, such as premature aging or mold. But to avoid those threats, it needs a reliable system-installed at the start-to expel moisture from the wall-cavities. An "ounce of prevention" at the building's birth can save you tons of "cure" later.

New TOTALFLASH™: Far More Protection, Far Less Labor!

Until now, builders had to order several moisture-control items for masonry wall-cavities: Flashing rolls, termination bars, a product to keep mortar-droppings from "damming" the moisture's descent, and a way to send the moisture outdoors.

Flashing was cut by hand (sometimes imprecisely). Each item had to be installed separately. And if one item was delivered late, the whole job waited.

But those Bad Old Days are gone forever. Our new TOTALFlash combines ALL those vital elements into each pre-cut, pre-assembled, easy-to-mount, 5-foot panel of flexible flashing!

No more waiting for separate components! No more clumsy flashing-rolls to cut! No more fumbling to mount termination bars! And thanks to clearly defined lap-joints, the coverage is always precise!

Only our new, patented TOTALFlash can offer such longer life & better health for your masonry...while installing in HALF THE TIME of ordinary moisture-control details!
