Lead Preparatory Arrowhead: Daycare Services in Jonesboro

The main benefit is long-term protection against moisture penetration. Its soft lead construction remains flexible, moving with the building to prevent joint failure and margin checking. This extends the life of the sealant, reduces maintenance costs, and preserves the integrity and appearance of masonry structures, which is crucial for facilities like daycares in Jonesboro.

Type A caps have a flat configuration and are designed for same-plane masonry and stone joints, such as those on copings and balustrades. Type B caps feature a 90-degree cove configuration, making them ideal for right-angle joints where horizontal and vertical surfaces meet, like at cornices, window sills, and entrance steps.

Yes, WEATHERCAP® is suitable for both new construction and historic restoration projects in Jonesboro. The A-2 Type A model is specifically designated for new-construction installation only. The system is designed to provide durable joint protection from the outset, preventing future issues related to building settlement and material expansion or contraction.

Its soft lead material is ideal for historic structures, as it accommodates movement without stressing fragile, aged masonry. It oxidizes to a neutral grey that blends with historic stone and is specified in the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Historic Preservation Technical Procedures, making it a trusted choice for preserving landmark buildings.

WEATHERCAP® is installed as an adjunct to caulk or sealant. The masonry joint is prepared and filled with sealant, and then the lead cap is pressed firmly into the sealant bed. This method ensures the cap is fully integrated with the joint, providing a protective cover that flexes with the structure and shields the sealant from UV exposure and weather.

WEATHERCAP® is available in Type A (flat) and Type B (90° cove) configurations. We offer a range of stock sizes to accommodate joint widths from under 3/8 inch up to 1 1/2 inches. For unique or oversized applications, such as those found in custom architectural designs or historic restorations in Jonesboro, custom sizes and designs can be special-ordered.
