Masonry Reinforcement
MSF Masonry Reinforcement, also known as Brickspan, and Bed Joint Reinforcement is primarily used to strengthen walls, Stainless Steel can be used on both inner and external bricks/blocks whereas galvanised is more suited to internal walls. Our Masonry Reinforcement aids to reduce cracking within walls and structures, as well as providing general support.
The Reinforcement comes at a standard length of 2.7 metres, and is available in a range of wire diameters making the products versatile, and able to fit any combination of brick or block width. (Please see the table below for recommended wall/reinforcement compatibility).
The materials used in our Masonry Reinforcement are either Stainless Steel (Grade 304), or Galvanised Steel, each suiting a wide range of purposes.
​
There are a wide range of wire diameters available in both Stainless and Galvanised, including 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm and 5.0mm (or equivalent after being flattened, both 4.0mm and 5.0mm in stainless are manufactured using a flattened wire).
