Hohmann & Barnard's Lox AllĀ® Truss-Mesh are continuous lengths of joint reinforcement that are embedded into the horizontal mortar joints of masonry walls
Joint reinforcement has long proven to be necessary for superior performance of masonry wall construction, as it offers the following benefits:
Reinforces a variety of masonry walls
Greatly reduces cracking that can arise from thermal stresses
Enhances resistance to water penetration, as cracks are controlled
Increases lateral flexural strength
Bonds exterior and interior masonry wythes together in composite walls
Bonds masonry at intersecting walls and corners
Increases elasticity
Increases performance of masonry walls under various stresses
Fabricated in conformance with ASCE/ACI 530 building code requirements for masonry structures, and ASTM A 951 (standard specification for masonry joint reinforcement)
