Masonry Reinforcement

Description: / Wincro WMR Masonry Reinforcement
Wincro has developed a range of welded Masonry Reinforcement to overcome
structural problems as well as crack control.
Wincro WMR is a manufactured in 2.7m standard lengths and is used to improve
the structural performance of masonry walls, in accordance with BS 5628-2:
2005, by providing additional resistance to lateral loads e.g. wind. It can also be
used to reduce the risk of cracking either at stress concentrations around
openings or as a result of movement, in accordance with BS 5628-3: 2005.
The Wincro WMR Reinforcement range is available is available in four standard
widths; 60, 100, 150 and 175 mm and is suitable for walls 100–215 mm thick.
The product is manufactured from five wire sizes and, where flattened, have an
equivalent wire diameter of 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 and 5 mm. Longitudinal wires have a
minimum characteristic yield strength of 500 N/mm².
Wincro WMR is available in austenitic stainless steel and galvanized steel.
BS5628-2 recommends that stainless steel material should be used in external
walls, including the inner leaf of the cavity.
Wincro Double Span Masonry Reinforcement for collar-jointed walls is also
available. Wincro WMRDCT is used to tie the two leaves of thin masonry
together, so it acts as a single unit. The product consists of flat ties welded to
flattened longitudinal wires. Manufactured in stainless and galvanised steel,
WMRDCT is supplied in a standard width of 175mm to suit a wall width of
215mm comprising of either standard bricks or 100mm blocks.
