Brick Reinforcement Coil – Galvanised

Brick reinforcement coil is one of those products that does a quiet job with zero fuss. Bedded into mortar courses during construction, it ties the masonry together and controls the kind of stress cracking that appears over time in long runs of brickwork and blockwork. If you’ve ever seen that stair-step cracking work its way up a gable end or across a retaining wall, this is the product that prevents it.

This coil is manufactured from galvanised steel, which gives it solid resistance to the damp, alkaline environment inside a mortar joint. Brickwork holds moisture for longer than most people expect, and anything without proper corrosion protection will start to fail from the inside before you’d ever know about it. The galvanised coating keeps the wire doing its job for the life of the structure.

Where Brick Reinforcement Coil Gets Used

The coil format makes it easy to handle on site. You pull off the length you need, lay it into the mortar bed, and bed the next course straight on top. It sits within the joint without pushing courses apart or causing any disruption to your line and level. The open mesh or ladder profile allows mortar to flow through and around it, so the joint integrity is maintained throughout.

Available in three widths — 63mm, 100mm and 175mm — this brick reinforcement coil covers standard brick courses, wider blockwork, and cavity situations where reinforcement is needed across the leaf. Choosing the right width is straightforward: match it to the width of the unit you’re laying, and keep it clear of the face by at least 15mm to avoid staining.

Galvanised Finish and Longevity

The galvanised finish here is not just a coating on the outside. In embedded reinforcement applications, the protection needs to last as long as the wall, and galvanised steel delivers that without the cost of stainless. For most standard masonry work in the UK, it is the correct and widely accepted specification.

Straightforward product. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Available individually or in bulk — and buying in bulk makes obvious sense if you’ve got any meaningful length of walling to do.
