You mix. We match.
Assuring you the right reinforcement for better, stronger walls.
More steel for mortar that can take advantage of it, more bonding area for mortar that needs it-that's the simple secret behind mortar-matched Keywall reinforcements.
For the ultimate in strong, crack-resistant walls, the terrific bonding power of high strength mortar makes full use of the extra steel in Keywall Truss-Type reinforcement, as shown by lateral pressure tests at the University of Toledo. The same tests showed every-other-course reinforcement as effective as reinforcing every course.
Conventional mortars, however-which you probably use on nine out of 10 jobs-need the extra bonding surface, mortar locks and mechanical anchors provided by Keywall Multibond roll reinforcement. Multibond gives you 96 per cent more bonding surface than 9 gauge truss, 55 per cent more than 6-inch truss. And 28 mortar locks per 8-inch block.
What's more, Keywall Multibond comes in 200-foot-long rolls... easy to carry or roll. And tinsnips are all you need to get the exact length for corners and pilasters, or for framing cutouts. So match your mix with Keywall reinforcements. For stronger masonry. Your Keystone representative has full details.
