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.
