EML Galvanised Brick Reinforcement Coil 20m length

The EML Galvanised Brick Reinforcement Coil is a high-strength expanded metal mesh made from durable galvanised steel. It enhances the tensile strength of brick and blockwork by evenly distributing loads and preventing cracking along mortar joints. Its corrosion-resistant finish ensures long-term performance in both internal and external applications. Commonly used in masonry, rendering, and refurbishment works, it provides reliable reinforcement and improved structural integrity.

What is DX275 Grade of Galvanised Steel?

DX275 is a steel grade designation that belongs to the galvanised (zinc-coated) flat steel products family, typically specified under the EN 10346 European standard.

Here is a clear breakdown:

Meaning of DX275

• D = Flat steel for cold forming
• X = Hot-dip zinc coated (galvanised)
• 275 = Minimum zinc coating mass, meaning 275 g/m² (total for both sides)
• Applications: Construction panels, roofing, wall cladding, ducts, and general sheet metal fabrication

Installation Guide:

• Ensure masonry surface and mortar joints are clean and free from debris
• Unroll the coil and cut to required length using tin snips or a cutting tool
• Position and embed the EML into the mortar joints, typically every third course of brickwork, ensuring it is centred within the joint
• Overlap adjacent lengths by at least 75 mm to maintain structural continuity and prevent weak points
• Press firmly into the mortar to achieve full bond coverage
• Allow the mortar to cure fully before applying any additional finishes or load-bearing elements.
