MOSO perforated strip

MOSO-perforated strip in a thinbed fugue as reinforcenent of gasaerated concrete walls.

… with MOSO perforated strip type 50 E 235 stainless steel or type 50 normal steel galvanized.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • MOSO perforated strip, a universal flat strip reinforcement that reliably reduces contraction, settlement and notch stress cracks, including in the area of the façade
  • Wider masonry walls can also be reinforced against lateral pressure with 2 or more strips next to or above one another means that even
MOSO perforated strip in a glued joint to prevent cracks forming over expansion joints when laying tiles.

Use and application

Cracking cannot be excluded in certain parts of the masonry wall. Although they generally have no effect on the stability against collapse, they frequently constitute a visual and functional defect.

Such cracking can be prevented by inserting a 5 cm wide MOSO perforated strip in the masonry.Use of structural reinforcement to prevent the formation of cracks is not subject to any official regulations by the construction supervisory authorities or DIN standards.

A number of illustrative examples for using the perforated strip are shown on this page.

The MOSO perforated strip type 50 E 235 stainless steel should be used for exterior and facing brick work, as well as for other are as exposed to corrosion.
