Masonry Repair Services in Pocopson, PA: Get Estimates

Absolutely. WEATHERCAP is ideal for historic buildings like those found in and around Pocopson. It is specified in the U.S. General Services Administration's Historic Preservation Technical Procedures and has been used on national landmarks. Its ability to protect vulnerable masonry joints while blending in visually makes it a top choice for restoration experts.

We offer two primary configurations. Type A is a flat cap designed for joints where masonry units are on the same plane, such as the top of a parapet wall. Type B is a 90-degree cove cap used for right-angle joints, like where a window sill meets a brick facade or at entrance steps. Both are available in various sizes to suit different joint widths.

The system is made of soft lead, which has a low elastic modulus. This means that instead of snapping back to its original shape, it 'creeps' into the new joint configuration as the building settles or moves. This flexibility protects the underlying sealant from being torn or stressed, maintaining a weatherproof seal over time where rigid solutions would fail.

Yes, WEATHERCAP can be painted to match any aesthetic requirement. If left unpainted, its surface quickly oxidizes to a neutral grey color that blends seamlessly and discreetly with most stone and masonry, making it an excellent choice for both new construction and historic restoration projects where visual integrity is crucial.

By shielding the sealant from direct UV exposure, weather, and physical stress from building movement, WEATHERCAP significantly extends its effective lifespan. While the exact duration depends on environmental conditions and the sealant used, this protective layer drastically reduces common causes of failure like margin checking, drying, and cracking.
