Preface
Reinforced brickwork is preferable to un-reinforced brickwork in all types of buildings. When embedded into the normal thickness of a brickwork-joint at every third joint, it forms an integral structure, which is strengthened against vibration, temperature change and tensional stresses (especially on reclaimed ground).
Advantages
It is expanded steel mesh with continuity of steel.It has no joints, welds or interweaving to fail under stress.The mesh is anchored immovably so that the reinforcement cannot slip under tension.This is the only type of brickwork reinforcement to give such a unique combination of all these advantages.
Laying Instructions
The mesh should be laid flat and set in the brickwork-joints. The reinforcement must be completely embedded in mortar.To be assured of its effectiveness, it is normally laid on every third brickwork-joint.Overlapping must be at least 75mm (3").
Brick Reinforcement Mesh is embedded in mortar (cement) joints to give extra tensile strength to wall and help withstand vibration and sudden loading, or to minimize unsightly cracks due to settlement.
Installation:
1. Position the mesh flat within the brick bed joints.
2. Overlap by a minimum of 75mm if joining two lengths together. The mesh should be laid every third brickwork course for most reinforcement.
