Masonry Belts

It's a patented soft lead flashing system designed to protect masonry joints from moisture penetration. It works with caulk/sealant to absorb stress from building movement, extending the life of the joint and preventing leaks in structures like parapets, cornices, and belt courses.

Its soft lead construction has a low elastic modulus, allowing it to flex and creep into new joint configurations as a building settles. This absorbs stress that would otherwise tear or shear conventional sealants, providing a durable, permanent seal against the elements.

Yes, absolutely. While it's renowned for historic preservation, the WEATHERCAP® system is highly effective for new construction. It provides long-term protection for horizontal and vertical masonry joints, reducing future maintenance costs and preventing premature sealant failure.

The system is made from a proprietary soft lead composition. This material is specifically chosen for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion and mold. The surface oxidizes to a neutral grey color that blends seamlessly with most masonry and stone work.

The WEATHERCAP® system is available in multiple sizes to accommodate various joint widths. We offer Type A for flat joints and Type B for 90-degree joints for different configurations. Our products are shipped in standard 6-foot lengths for easy handling and installation.

The lead surface rapidly oxidizes to a neutral, matte grey finish that blends in with mortar, stone, and other masonry materials. For specific aesthetic requirements, the material can also be painted to perfectly match the surrounding surfaces, making it visually unobtrusive.
