Applications

Brikmat Masonry Reinforcement and Support

Placed in the horizontal mortar bed joints, Brikmat masonry reinforcement and support increases the tensile and flexural strength of heavy, physically demanding masonry. It resists the stresses that are inherent in loaded masonry panels, reduces the risk of cracking, and eliminates the risk of bed joint compression and mortar bleeding. Increases the recommended distance between movement jointsStrengthens areas of concentrated loadsAllows cladding panels to be incresed in sizeRelieves stress concentration around openings such as windows and doorsContinue to build without waiting for mortar to cureEliminates bed joint compessionReduces mortar bleedingProvides increased stability

Why use Brikmat?

Specifiers

Main Contractor

Bricklayer / Builder

Greater speed

Proven to be up to 3 times faster than conventional building methods

Improved productivity
Build up to 10 courses* of dense, heavy aggregate blockwork in a single lift without compression of the mortar bed-joints at lower levels Use a standard mortar mix. No waiting for mortar to harden before continuing to build

Enhanced accuracy

Specify with confidence Specify dense, heavy architectural masonry products with confidence Guarantee the aesthetic finish of your design Adaptability for curved walls Reductions in build time Savings in mortar wastage Cleanliness of masonry facework and cavities Helps reduce the carbon footprint Improves the masons health and safety Save time and money for your client Eliminate time spent dealing with block panel issues on site

Saves time & money More successive courses in a single lift. Improved productivity on siteImproves block laying speed up to 3 times faster

Hidden savings
Scaffolding down soonerBricklayers off site soonerFollowing trades can be on site soonerMortar silos collected and off site sooner

Wastage reduction

Saving of up to 60% on mortar wastageNo "bulking up" of joints requiredMinimal bleeding of mortar onto block face

Improve accuracy

Helps consistency when teams of bricklayers are working on projects

A quality finish virtually guaranteed Consistent gauge height, even after 10 courses Prevents extrusion of the mortar due to pressure from successive courses = no mortar on fair-faced blockwork = no cleaning!

*Materials and site conditions allowing

Health & safety

Improved stability of block panelsLess mortar on scaffolding boardsLess mortar dropped belowNo need for chemical cleaning of stained blockwork
