Block Ladder
Ladder/Truss
Block Reinforcement Ladder / Truss
Block Reinforcement Ladder/Truss is designed to reinforce masonry blockwork, enhancing the structural strength of walls subjected to high or severe load conditions. It effectively minimizes cracking, reduces the impact of vibration and differential settlement, and compensates for temperature-induced movement. In simple terms, it enables masonry walls to perform as a single, unified structural element.
Applications & Benefits
Increases structural integrity of masonry walls
Prevents and controls wall cracking
Reduces effects of vibration and differential settlement
Enhances resistance to thermal expansion and contraction
Improves load distribution across blockwork
Ensures masonry acts as a single composite unit
