Expanded metal reinforcement has numerous applications in all types of building where extra strength and stability is required, as in footings and parapets etc,. or to localised stress areas.
Expanded metal reinforcement is easy to handle, and when laid embedded in the mortar joining between brickwork or blockwork courses, forms an integral structure of great tensile strength which assists in the resistance, vibrations and thermal changes. The range of reinforcement coils satisfies most wall thickness, laid on the mortar bed with 25mm clearance to the outside face of the wall and lapped at least 75mm, if joining lengths. The reinforcement is then embedded completely and for most applications, every third course is sufficient. |
