In this project, solidian Briksy was applied as bed joint reinforcement in facing brick masonry to improve crack control and overall structural performance while fully preserving the architectural appearance of the brick façade. Facing brick masonry requires effective crack control to maintain both durability and a uniform visual quality over time. To support this, solidian Briksy carbon reinforcement was integrated directly into the horizontal mortar joints during construction. The reinforcement was placed continuously along the masonry courses, allowing controlled force distribution within the wall system. Embedded directly into fresh mortar, solidian Briksy becomes an integral part of the masonry without changing standard construction practices.

Thanks to its non-corrosive carbon fibers, solidian Briksy is particularly well suited for facing brick applications exposed to weathering and moisture. Unlike conventional steel reinforcement, it eliminates corrosion-related risks and contributes to long-term durability.

Installation on site was straightforward and compatible with standard masonry workflows. The lightweight reinforcement could be easily cut and positioned, ensuring precise placement and efficient execution, as shown in the project images.

By using solidian Briksy, the masonry benefits from:

  • Improved crack control in facing brick masonry
  • Durable, non-corrosive reinforcement embedded in bed joints
  • Long-term structural reliability in exposed façade applications
  • Preservation of the architectural appearance of the brickwork

This project demonstrates how carbon-based bed joint reinforcement can be effectively applied in modern facing brick masonry to combine durability, performance, and design integrity.
