Strong, light and easy to install
The unique structure and user-friendly size of Murfor® Compact not only enhances
the strength of your construction, it also optimizes your building process and use of
materials.
1 Fast and simple installation – Just roll Murfor® Compact out onto blocks
or bricks and cut it to size; no overlaps required and less material loss in the
process. One roll of Murfor® Compact has 30m of reinforcement, and only
weights about 3 kg, about 10 times less than regular masonry reinforcement
of the same length. The light-weight rolls are safer to lift, carry and use.
2 Efficient and durable crack control – Murfor® Compact controls
cracks and strengthens your masonry. The sturdy mesh of steel cords has
exceptionally high yield strength, with Murfor® Compact E offering more than
1525 MPa and Murfor® Compact I even offering more than 1770 MPa.
3 Easy to stack and transport – Murfor® Compact rolls have a low volume,
which has several economic and logistical advantages. You can easily stack
the rolls so that they take up less space in storage and transport.
4 Accommodates any wall width – Murfor® Compact can be used for any
wall width. The reinforcement is available in two convenient width options
that can be easily combined to reinforce any wall width.
