DESCRIPTION:

• Cross rods are spaced so block cells are not obstructed, allowing easy placement of vertical rebars

• A full 8" splice between lengths of ladder is facilitated

• 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. This 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
