BLOCKMESH

IKT Blockmesh, the ideal reinforcement for masonry block or clay walls, is manufactured from cold drawn steel wire (plain or  deformed) which conforms to Saudi, British, German, American standard specifications.

 The wires are Cold Drawn to comply with the strength requirements to BS4482 and ASTM A82, A496 hot dipped galvanized   to  BS 443, BS729 and ASTM A 123, A153.

 It may also be manufactured from Pre-Galvanized wire to BS443 and ASTM A641 if required.

Strength

A brick or masonry block wall, reinforced with IKT Blockmesh will withstand considerable horizontal pressure from  either side.

The use of IKT Blockmesh reinforcing in walls will help to :

• Combat wind effects
• Withstand the loading of material against the wall
• Control shrinkage , thermal and settlement effects
• Enable the wall to span across openings

IKT Blockmesh, supply  to customer specifications, enables its strength to be used with maximum efficiency, location the wires for minimum specified cover from the face of the wall, and therefore concentrating the reinforcement where it is needed most.
