Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a joint capsule?

In masonry construction, a joint cap (like WEATHERCAP) protects the sealant within a masonry joint from environmental exposure and building movement. It reduces the effective joint opening size, buffers stress at right-angle transitions, and prevents moisture penetration that could otherwise damage the sealant and surrounding structure over time.
