Description:

Available in a selection of lengths and diameters, crack stitching bars are a proven and effective solution for reconnecting and reinforcing cracked brickwork. Crack repair rods are bonded into the bed joint to extend 500mm across cracks in walls and can withstand a tensile load of at least 8kN.

Stainless steel brick stitching bars have a tensile strength that is double that of conventional rebar and a spiral twist that permits a degree of torsional yield within elastic limits and the high fin profile provides an excellent key for bonding into mortars.

Benefits:
  • Repair, stabilise and reinforce cracked brickwork
  • Minimal cost and little disruption to install
  • Redistributes loads
  • Works with thixotropic, cementitious grout to enhance the tensile, shear and flexural capacity of masonry walls
  • Provide resilience against further cracking
