Look at the holding power you get from every foot of KEYWALL GALVANIZED MASONRY REINFORCING
28 mortar locks
The more locks, the more resistance to shrinkage cracks. Movement is restrained at each of Keywall's mortar locks. No one lock has to restrain more than the movement in ¼" of block.
14 inches of mechanical anchors
Mechanical anchoring restrains thermal movement and shrinkage. No other reinforcement comes close to offering the amount of mechanical anchor that Keywall does.
22 sq. in. of bonding surface
The more metal in surface contact with the mortar, the better the reinforcement. Keywall's 22 sq. in. per foot of block is about 55% more than a pair of 16 truss rods, about 96% more than a pair of 9-gauge truss wires.
