Brickforce 150 mm x 2.8 mm x 20 m – Wall Reinforcing Steel (NHBRC Approved)

Ultimate Structural Stability with NHBRC Approved Brickforce

 

Tired of worrying about wall cracks? The Unbranded Brickforce 150mm x 2.8mm x 20m is your professional solution for long-lasting masonry reinforcement. Engineered for high-tensile strength in double-skin walls, it ensures your construction remains solid and secure through every season.

 

Why Your Build Needs This Brickforce

Every great structure starts with what you can’t see. Imagine building your dream home or a secure perimeter wall, only to see "map cracks" appearing a year later due to South Africa's shifting soil and temperature swings.

Our Unbranded 150mm Brickforce acts as the hidden skeleton of your wall. By bedding this high-tensile steel into your mortar joints, you aren't just laying wire—you are layering in "structural insurance." It absorbs the hidden stresses that cause masonry to fail, ensuring that your investment remains as solid as the day the last brick was laid. Best of all, because it is NHBRC Approved, you can build with the peace of mind that your project will breeze through structural inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Why use 2.8mm instead of 2.0mm? 2.8mm is the structural gauge required by building inspectors; thinner wire may fail inspection for load-bearing walls.

• Can I use this for a single-skin wall? No. 150mm is specifically for double-skin (230mm) walls. For single-skin (110mm) walls, you must use 75mm Brickforce.

• Is this product galvanized? Standard stock is high-tensile steel; check store availability if you require galvanized coating for coastal areas.
