4mm Bricklock products have been developed to strengthen brick veneer, walls, and fences.
An excellent product for areas that are prone to cracking or movement. Made from 4 mm galvanised or stainless steel.
The most common areas to use the reinforcing are: above all windows and to all external corners.
Other vulnerable areas are: where there is a gap smaller than 800mm, for example, A window near a deck, where a window meets a rooftop or rooftop gable meets a soffit. Close up Bricklock spacing to every 5th course in these areas.
Disclaimer - ‘Bricklock’ is designed to add strength to the brick veneer and is over and above the normal New Zealand Building Code for brick veneer construction. At no stage do Masons guarantee that it will completely stop any possible cracking in the veneer.
Applications
