Novelty of the market of construction materials is the armoring lattice which is used for strengthening of concrete laying. The fields of its application and functionality are much wider, than her predecessors: normal metal gauzes with different size of cell.
Purpose of armoring lattice
Concrete needs reinforcing as it does it to stronger. Bars of the grids applied to this purpose can be both smooth, and corrugated. Material of which they are made – metal or polymers.
The armoring lattice helps it to neutralize the internal stress arising because of temperature drop and air humidity. In addition, it prevents concrete deformation, strengthening its resistance to forces operating on stretching and gap. The armoring lattice prevents emergence in it of cracks, thereby prolonging the term of operation of product, the base, overlapping.
The grids made of polymers impregnate with the structures resistant to influence of alkalis and chemicals that does them almost impregnable for corrosion. One of the best armoring lattices consider CPVS. It well passes sound, light, air. Increases adhesion of concrete to any kinds of surfaces. CPVS grid flexible therefore can repeat any bend, without having lost integrity of cloth. Durability of this product is so high that it can be used as safety barrier. CPVS is non-hygroscopic, is easily processed and cut.
How to reinforce concrete grid?
If it is necessary to reinforce concrete floor, the metal gauze fix by means of dowels, stacking it with an overlap. Polymeric – gluing method. These materials help to reduce the concrete layer thickness as give it high strength. The same way strengthen walls, overlappings, the bases. If it is necessary to strengthen foundation of the house, the armoring lattice is put in timbering, layer-by-layer filling in concrete. As the cost of armoring lattices rather high, them it is possible to use, previously having cut tapes, only for strengthening of seams and corners and also for seal of deep cracks. This material can be used also when plastering facade. It with success will replace traditional way of reinforcing of plaster by means of metal "chain-link" gauzes. Armoring lattices for strengthening of concrete when warming external walls of buildings by means of polyfoam both mineral and the subsequent their plastering are especially effective. They help to receive strong layer of finish coat. For reinforcing of brickwork, concrete, asphalt tie, plasters it is recommended to use grids of STREN S4, STREN S6, STREN S5, IZAR-45h45, IZAR-37h37. They are strong and elastic, made of high-strength plastic. Can act as the protective catching grids or temporary protections.
