DESCRIPTION:
For block and brick composite walls
Welded boxes project from backup Ladder-Mesh Reinforcement and tie into brick face
Hohmann & Barnard?s Lox-All® Ladder-Mesh are continuous lengths of joint reinforcement that are embedded into the horizontal mortar joint of masonry walls
Joint reinforcement has long proven to be necessary for superior performance of masonry wall construction
Benefits:
Greatly reduces cracking that can arise from thermal stresses, which enhances resistance to water penetration, as cracks are controlled
Increases lateral flexural strength
Bonds exterior and interior masonry wythes together in composite or cavity walls
Also bonds masonry at intersecting walls and corners
Increases elasticity and performance of masonry walls under various stresses
Features:
Butt-welding of cross rods to longitudinal rods (not more than 16?o.c.). This construction enhances bonding capabilities, eliminates projection of cross rods beyond the specified width of reinforcement, and prevents excessive build up of wire in limited mortar joints
Continuous deformation along each longitudinal rod for superior bonding performance
Fabricated in conformance with ASCE/ACI 530 building code requirements for masonry structures and ASTM A 951
DIMENSIONS/GAUGES:
4? wall - 16? wall
Other widths available on special request
(S) Standard: 9 ga. side rods x 9 ga. cross rods
(EH) Extra Heavy: 3/16? side rods x 9 ga. cross rods
