DESCRIPTION:

#235 adds a cavity drip to #230 Tri-Mesh
Tri-Mesh has 3 Longitudinal or Side Rods to reinforce block and brick composite walls
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.) which 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
