Common masonry examples include brick walls, stone facades, concrete block structures, parapets, copings, cornices, and belt courses. Protective systems like WEATHERCAP are used at the joints of these masonry elements to prevent moisture intrusion while accommodating natural building movement over time.

WEATHERCAP is constructed from soft lead, chosen for its low tensile strength and elastic modulus. This allows it to flex and creep into new joint configurations during building movement without cracking, while its surface oxidizes to a neutral grey that blends naturally with surrounding masonry.

Yes, WEATHERCAP can be painted for aesthetic customization to match surrounding masonry or architectural finishes. It also naturally oxidizes to a dead neutral grey over time, helping it blend seamlessly with stone and brick surfaces even without paint.

WEATHERCAP is available in Type A (flat joint) and Type B (90-degree joint) designs, accommodating horizontal and vertical masonry joints, parapet and coping protection, cornices, belt courses, and corner or fillet joints where horizontal and vertical surfaces meet.

WEATHERCAP reduces the size of the caulk or sealant joint opening, limiting its exposure to environmental stress such as UV, moisture, and temperature swings. By absorbing movement itself, it reduces strain on the sealant, significantly extending its functional lifespan in both new and restoration construction.
