BRC BRICKFORCE

Brickforce is a ladder type masonry reinforcement that consists of two parallel flattened main wires joined by electrically welded cross wires. It is placed horizontally in the mortar beds of masonry walls to distribute loads, control cracking and also facilitates the use of thinner walls and/or greater spans.

There is no quicker way to reinforce a block wall than BRC Brickforce.

Benefits:

• Brickforce strips are easy to handle, manipulate and cut, providing considerable savings in labour, time and money.
• Brickforce is produced from galvanized coated wire rod for increased resistance to corrosion, increasing its effective lifespan.
• Brickforce is economical, costing less than 1% of total building cost and has the potential to generate greater savings from using thinner walls and smaller foundation sizes.
• Brickforce controls cracking due to shrinkage, thermal, and settlement effects.
• Brickforce withstands considerable horizontal pressure due to loading from wind, soil and water.
