Murfor® + 02.04.00

Add to my wish list

Murfor®+ is a prefabricated reinforcement laid in the horizontal masonry joints in order to reinforce its resistance. It is a meshing made of two parallel wires connected by a continuous sinusoidal wire welded in the same plane.

 

For Murfor®+ and Murfor® Spacer, the diagonal wires are fitted with spacers for perfect positioning in the middle of the mortar layer. The reinforcement can then be fitted directly in the blocks and a single layer of mortar is enough. The spacers ensure that mortar is cast under the longitudinal wires. The Murfor®+ longitudinal galva or stainless steel wires are serrated to ensure ever improved mortar bonding.

 

Murfor® is available in galvanised steel (Z), galvanised steel with an epoxy coating (E) and stainless steel (S).

Benefits
  • Checks and limits cracks in the masonry
  • Permanent absorption of traction tensions
  • Resistance to wind loads
  • Ensures masonry with minimum or no expansion joints
  • Reduction of damage caused by earthquakes
  • CE, compliant with EN 845-3
LEVIAT technical advice

 

•Murfor®+ and Murfor® Spacer are suited to the application in traditional joints of a thickness of 10 to 15 mm. For reinforcing glued masonry, we recommend Murfor® Compact.
•The type of steel wire is chosen according to the exposure class (NBN EN 1996-2 and NBN EN 845-3).
•During fitting, place the element in the wall's alignment, with a minimum distance of 15 mm between the longitudinal wires of all Murfor® types and the edge of the joint.

GULDEN ROOS IN BRUGES

The "Gulden Roos", a project in Bruges nestles in an environment of alleys, squares and a central park garden. The project uses the same brick in different versions so that the whole residential block exudes a sense of unity.
