Lower production, packaging, shipping, handling and installation costs
Makes a significant contribution to the competitiveness of masonry

Disadvantages:

None

most wire is butted end-to-end or if it is lapped it is likely causing the restrictions described above. The initial cost to upgrade the production equipment could be recaptured in a relatively short period with the savings from lower production, packaging and shipping costs described above.

The time has come for bricklayers, mason contractors, block producers, distributors, architects and engineers to encourage wire producers to make these changes. We will all benefit from a product that significantly improves the effectiveness and competitiveness of masonry.
