Briksy
Bed joint reinforcement for durable and crack-resistant masonry walls
solidian BRIKSY is high-tech, non-corosive, AR glass or carbon fiber reinforcement brick mesh on a roll for efficient crack control specially designed for any wall width.
Masonry mesh, also called masonry wall reinforced mesh or bed joint-reinfocement, is used for concrete construction reinforcement. solidian BRIKSY is carbon fiber or fiberglass reinforcing structure tool that can be easily rolled out onto masonry bed joint to strenghten masonry panels without thickening the wall. Efficiently connecting bricks, it can prevent or reduce cracking in walls
Product Features

Product Applications
- When bricks are stacked together to create a bigger and heavier structure, their strength begins to decrease, increasing the rigidity of masonry walls.
- Bed joint reinforcement is used to distribute applied loads and enhance the tensile, shear and flexural capacity of walls where masonry has lost its load bearing capacity or where additional support is required.
- Very useful in accommodating stresses in certain critical locations, e.g. under window openings.
