Brickwork Reinforcement Mesh (Ex-Mesh)
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'').
