Masonry Wire Mesh for Single Wythe Wall
Strengthen your masonry walls with our 8 ft Truss Mesh Reinforcement (also known as concrete block mesh), made from 9-gauge (3.75 mm) hot-dipped galvanized steel for superior corrosion resistance and durability. Designed to embed seamlessly into horizontal mortar joints, this reinforcement reduces cracking from thermal stresses, enhances resistance to water penetration, and increases wall elasticity. Perfect for single wythe walls, it stabilizes masonry at corners and intersections while improving lateral flexural strength. Ideal for a variety of masonry wall types, this versatile masonry wire mesh ensures long-lasting structural integrity and performance.
