The TIMCO 225BRCSS Brick Reinforcement Coil is designed for professional masons and contractors seeking a reliable method to stabilize brick and blockwork against structural cracking. By providing tensile strength within masonry mortar joints, this high-quality stainless steel coil effectively reinforces long walls and repairs; however, users must ensure it is correctly embedded within the mortar bed to achieve its full structural potential.

Yes, its Corrosion Rating 4 makes it suitable for urban and industrial areas with moderate salt exposure, though extreme coastal proximity may require higher grade alloys.
Absolutely. The A2 (304) stainless steel is highly resistant to the tannins and acids found in green oak, preventing the corrosion that standard galvanized steel would face.
For continuous strength, you should overlap the ends by at least 300mm within the mortar joint.
This specific product (225BRCSS) is fixed at 225mm; check local building requirements to ensure this meets the needs of your block thickness.
Because it is made from A2 stainless steel, it is highly resistant to rust under standard and moderate environmental conditions.
You should aim for full encapsulation within the mortar bed, typically ensuring at least 15mm-20mm of mortar above and below the reinforcement.
Back-wind the coil slightly to counteract the factory roll memory or use small mortar 'dabs' to hold it in place while laying.
Use heavy-duty tin snips or bolt cutters to ensure a clean, square cut without fraying the steel mesh.
Ensure the mortar bed is sufficiently thick before laying; if the coil sits too high, apply additional mortar over the top before laying the next brick.
To ensure optimal performance, the reinforcement must be laid flat into the center of the mortar bed. Ensure there is a minimum of 15-20mm of mortar cover on either side of the steel to prevent potential rust staining or structural weakness. When joining two lengths of coil, overlap them by at least 300mm to maintain continuous reinforcement strength. Keep the coil stored in a dry location to maintain the integrity of the material before installation. Always wear protective gloves when unrolling, as the edges of the stainless steel can be sharp.
