Ladder mesh for block reinforcement is a crucial component in masonry construction, designed to enhance the structural integrity of block walls. Made from 9-gauge galvanized steel, this mesh is embedded into the horizontal mortar joints of masonry walls. The ladder design, featuring parallel longitudinal wires connected by cross wires, provides excellent stability and strength.
Measuring typically around 10 feet in length, ladder mesh is available in various widths to match different block sizes. Its primary function is to reduce cracking caused by thermal stresses and shrinkage, thereby increasing the wall's resistance to water penetration. Additionally, it improves the lateral flexural strength of the wall, ensuring better performance under various stress conditions.
Ladder mesh is easy to install and conforms to ASTM A951 standards, making it a reliable choice for reinforcing masonry walls. Its robust construction and design ensure long-lasting durability and enhanced structural performance.
