Masonry Reinforcement comprises of helical Stainless Steel reinforcement rods, which can be used in accordance with (BS 5628 part 2) for reinforcing bed-joints to enhance lateral loading resistance in new and existing buildings, Masonry Reinforcement can also be used to repair many structural defects in existing masonry by using repair strategies like over-pinning with ring beams, general crack stitching repairs, lintel failures and re-tying (disconnected and unconnected) solid or cavity masonry panels.

Crack Stitching:

Re-stabilising existing masonry above failed lintels:

Ring beams to improve lateral load resistance and over pinning to reduce the under pinning cost:

Benefits:

• Quick installation
• Low labour costs
• Tensile strength more than double required by BS 5628
• Good bonding to resins and grouts
• Lengths up to 8 metres
• Easily installed in bed-joints
• Minor visual and structural disturbance
• Enhances lateral loading resistance

Features:

• Easy and problem free installation
• Austenitic 304 and 316 Stainless Steel
• Effective in cavity and solid walls
• Bonded with RESIN
