Bekaert Building Products has been at the forefront of masonry reinforcement design and product development for over 80 years. Brickforce® has been in continuous use since its introduction in 1918. To cater for the increased use of masonry construction and to offer masonry reinforcement solutions for modern build requirements Bekaert continues to develop its range of products. Bricktor® CCR and Bricktie have been designed and introduced for specific applications. Following the introduction of the BS 5628-2 reinforced masonry design code, Bekaert introduced an extensive Brickforce® range which continues to be unique and unequalled for reinforced masonry construction applications.

There are two main areas of use for masonry reinforcement:
Structural
Where masonry reinforcement has been designed and specified to increase the load bearing capacity of masonry construction in accordance with BS5628 Part 2 - the design code for reinforced masonry.
Crack control
Where masonry reinforcement is specified to assist in control of cracking in areas of stress concentration or thermal and moisture movement as covered by BS5628 Part 3.
To ensure that the products comply, in addition to material testing during production, Bekaert is committed, as part of our technical development, to an on-going testing programme.
