Vulcania Reinforcing Solutions supplies specialised Cape Town Brickforce designed specifically for local construction projects across the peninsula.
When standard steel is used in coastal masonry, it is prone to rapid rusting. This expansion causes mortar to crack and compromises the entire wall. To prevent this structural failure, we supply heavy pre galvanised brick mesh. This thick zinc coating protects the steel from salt laden moisture, ensuring your walls remain strong for decades. Explore our complete masonry options on our National Brickforce Page.

Cape Town Masonry Reinforcement FAQ
To help local builders construct safely, here are direct answers regarding coastal masonry steel.
Why is galvanised brickforce essential in Cape Town?
The Western Cape has a highly aggressive coastal climate. Standard steel rusts quickly when exposed to the salt laden air. Galvanised brickforce features a zinc coating that stops this oxidation process, preventing the steel from expanding and cracking the mortar from the inside out.
Can I use commercial grade brickforce for a house?
For any load bearing structural wall, South African building regulations require SABS standard brickforce with a minimum main wire thickness of 2.8mm. Thinner commercial grades lack the required tensile strength.
