Control crack formation

 

Support wind loads

 
Reduce earthquake damage

 
Increase durability

Bed joint reinforcement provides additional tensile strength, allowing better use of masonry's inherent compressive strength. The two materials, brick and mortar, complement each other, resulting in an excellent structural material that stands the test of time and expands the possibilities of design.
