To prevent rapid rusting in coastal masonry, we supply heavy pre galvanised brick mesh. This thick zinc coating protects the steel from salt laden moisture, ensuring your walls remain strong and visually flawless without rust bleeding through the plaster. Explore our complete masonry options on our National Brickforce Page.
Locally Manufactured Masonry Steel
We manufacture structural brickforce that meets all necessary engineering regulations for load bearing walls. From residential boundary walls featuring our durable security fencing to large commercial developments across Nelson Mandela Bay, we have the stock ready in our local yard. Sourcing your materials locally means supporting the Eastern Cape economy while securing factory direct pricing.
Gqeberha Masonry FAQ
Here is a quick reference guide for ordering brickforce in the Eastern Cape.
What happens if I do not use galvanised brickforce near the ocean?
Standard untreated steel will quickly absorb moisture through the slightly porous mortar. As it rusts, the steel expands up to three times its original volume, which shatters the mortar joints and causes severe structural cracking.
How is brickforce installed in a wall?
Brickforce is laid flat within the wet mortar bed between courses of bricks. Standard practice requires a layer of brickforce every four courses, though engineers may specify more frequent spacing for retaining walls or high stress areas.
Can I order custom width brick mesh?
Yes. While we stock standard widths for single and double cavity walls, our manufacturing capabilities allow us to discuss specific requirements for unique architectural masonry projects.
Backed by our national network of eight branches servicing South Africa and African neighbouring countries, we deliver consistent quality.
