ABOUT THE BRICKVENT
MOISTURE CONTROL SYSTEM

Moisture management is an important issue in all building design, especially the exterior cladding, i.e. the brick veneer. In masonry veneer construction, good design includes a space or “cavity” being maintained between the exterior masonry wall and the underlying structure.  The BrickVent Moisture Control System works in conjunction with this cavity to provide superior drainage while also functioning as a conduit for airflow; thereby greatly increasing the drying capabilities of the exterior masonry wall and cavity behind it. This airflow is what sets BrickVent apart from other moisture control systems.  For superior cavity or rain screen wall performance, “Breathe easy with BrickVent”

Features of BrickVent MCS

• Weeps and ventilates. Other systems have very small weep holes only. The BrickVent Moisture Control System will weep via the Weep Slots and also allows for air flow through an opening 1 ¾” tall and 6 5/8” wide at the narrowest point.
• Not affected by trash mortar. The BrickVent Mortar Deflector ensures that settling mortar and debris will not inhibit the air flow
• Adjustable to allow for varying field conditions. Adjustable Vertical Backplate Vent allows for the variance of a 3/8” to 2” wide cavity that may be between the masonry veneer and the underlying face of the structure.
• No pest infiltration. The Pest Prevention Screen prevents unwanted insects or small rodents from entering the space between the masonry veneer and the underlying face of the structure(pests can easily enter through open weep holes)
• Looks great and stands up to the elements. The injection-molded BrickVent units are made of a colored plastic to blend in with the most popular brick colors. Custom colors are available at additional cost. Also, the plastic is made for exterior use with UV inhibitors to prevent it from breaking down from exposure to the sun and weather.
• Nothing to wear out. There are no moving parts to wear out or break.
• Easy installation. The BrickVent is designed for easy installation for both new construction and remediation into existing masonry structures. See the simple one-page installation instructions.
