Description
The Westox Crack Stitching Bar offers a permanent fix for cracked brickwork. The bars are an austenitic 316 reinforcing stainless steel rod that has many unique properties. Being rolled from a plain round wire, the fins are work-hardened to a very high level whilst the core remains relatively soft. The subsequent twisting process puts the fins into tension and the core into compression. The tensile strength of the base material is more than doubled during the manufacturing process. The pronounced fins over the core make the bonding characteristics of the Westox Crack Stitching Bar far superior to alternative standard reinforcing materials.
The bar Profile is available in 6mm and 8mm diameters. Length of 100mm up to 10 metres. The material can be supplied in any length and profile to meet the requirements of structural engineers and other specifiers.
