How Through-Wall Flashing Prevents Steel Corrosion in Masonry Wall Assemblies

Masonry buildings are valued for their durability, but their strength relies on more than just brick and mortar. Hidden steel components—such as lintels, shelf angles, relief angles, and ties—play a crucial role in supporting masonry facades. However, when moisture infiltrates the structure, corrosion weakens these elements, leading to rust jacking, section loss, and displaced masonry.

A well-installed through-wall flashing system is Continue reading “How Through-Wall Flashing Prevents Steel Corrosion in Masonry Wall Assemblies”
