HardTape Combine masonry reinforcement solutions

Masonry has high compressive strength and low tensile strength.

HardTape combine serials steel cord knitted tape for masonry reinforcement is intended to be used in horizontal masonry joints,with normal purpose motar and AAC blocks,clay blocks,clay bricks,dense aggregate concrete blocks,stone,etc.as walls or partitions for structural use.Benefits both structural and traditional masonry. Any reinforcement is better than no reinforcement.

Controlling crack formation in masonry is one of the many challenges of a construction project. Masonry has a high compressive strength, but the tensile strength is limited.

Reinforce masonry with HardTape to add strength and prevent cracks.

 HardTape enhances the structural performance of the wall by reinforcing the masonry, which significantly increases the in plane and out of plane capacities of the structure. This allows for greater moment capacities without alterations to the materials used or the dimensions of the panel.You can relay on this new generation of reinforcement in all applications: Structural applications and Crack control.

THE ADVANTAGES OF  HARDTAPE:

• Fast and simple installation:  Unroll the reinforcement onto the masonry joints and cut to size; no overlap needed, no material lost. Each roll contains 30 m of reinforcement and weighs only 3 kg, about 1/10 of the weight of regular masonry reinforcement.
• Efficient and durable crack control:HardTape masonry tape controls cracks and strengthens masonry. The composition of the steel cords has an exceptionally high yield strength.
• Structural use:   HardTape masonry tape increases the lateral load capacity when used as bed joint reinforcement by increasing tensile strength within the panel.
• Simple to stack and transport:  HardTape masonry tape rolls are packed in boxes of 30x30x30 cm that can be easily stacked, stored and transported.
• Suitable for any wall width:  HardTape masonry tape is available in two convenient widths that can be combined to reinforce any wall width.
