120 Truss-Mesh

120 Truss-Mesh is a truss type continuous length joint reinforcement for single wythe walls.

• Hohmann & Barnard’s Lox All® Truss-Mesh and Lox All® Ladder-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)
