Brickforce |
|
Reinforced brickwork is preferable to unreinforced in all types 0f building because steel reinforcement adds tensile strength to the inherent compressive strength of this traditional construction method.
Brickforce 210 reinforcement greatly reduces the detrimental effects of vibration and changes of
temperature, Moreover, considerable savings may be made in cost of material and labour,
and in space and deadweight.Brickforce should be used in every third course of bricks, and where the strips are joined at the ends. an
overlap of not less than 80 mm should be provided. |

Why choose Brickforce
|
|
| Brickforce is a length of expanded steel mesh with continuity for steel fibre throughout. |
| Brickforce has no joints, welds or interweaving to fail under stress. |
| Once mortared into brickwork the diamond-shaped meshes are anchored immovably so that the reinforcement cannot slip under tension. |
| Brickforce is time tested – it has been reinforcing brockwork for more than half a century |
| Brickforce is the only brickwork reinforcement to give such a unique combination of all these advantages |

Embedded in the normal thickness of brickwork joint, brickforce gives brickwork increased resistance to tensional stresses – important for buildings erected on reclaimed ground or on other ground in which settlement may occur. Equally suitable as a reinforcement for concrete block work partition slabs, asphalt guttering and in other work.
Brickforce is galvanized to prevent corrosion.
Available ex stock in coils of 30 metre and widths of 75mm for single width brickwork, and 150mm for double width brickwork.
Coils of 600mm wide are available to order for multi-width brickwork, blockwork or partition slaps.
Sheets of 600 x 2500 also available |

Specifications |
|
| Normally the brickwork alone is sufficient strength but in circumstances where greater strength is required to allow for uneven settlement and movement in buildings, it is desirable to use brickforce reinforcement in the joints. Brickforce not only assists in distributing the loads evenly but reduces the possibility of cracking so common in these conditions. |
