- Mixing paddle
- Grout-Master applicator
- Finger Trowel
For making good you you might want to consider our Coloured Pointing Mortar – A lime-based pointing mortar in a wide choice of colours and grades to match existing mortar joints.
Applications:
A series of helical bars are inserted into slots cut into the bed joints and extend 500mm either side of the crack at 450mm centres. The bars stitch the masonry either side of the crack back together and are bonded into the wall using WHO-60, a polymer modified, thixotropic, cementitious injection grout that does not shrink. Due to the high fin profile and deep continuous deep trough helix the bar forms an excellent bond with the grout. The crack is also deeply filled with grout to restore its strength.
The bed joint can then be repointed withColoured Pointing Mortar to provide an invisible repair if required.
A standard 10 bar crack stitching kit will repair a crack up to 4.5m long.
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
