Murfor 100mm (Roll)
Murfor 100mm (Roll) - Application and Benefits
Description: Murfor I100 is a type of reinforcement used in the adhesive bonds of walls to strengthen the structure. It consists of a plastic mesh with 14 galvanized steel wires. Murfor I100 is suitable for mortar bonds with a thickness between 3 and 12 mm and is particularly suitable for interior walls exposed to a dry environment.
Why use Murfor I100?
-
Lintels:
- Lintels are used around openings for windows or door frames. Around these openings and at the bearing of the lintels, stresses occur that can cause cracks. By applying 2 layers of Murfor below and above in the adhesive bond, it will absorb these stresses.
-
Floors and Beams:
- Walls that are loaded with beam bearings or where a concrete floor rests on them can show cracks. Applying Murfor in at least three underlying layers prevents cracking in these situations.
-
Partition Walls:
- Partition walls standing on a floor slab can show cracks due to large deflection of the floor. To prevent cracking, Murfor should be applied in 2 layers. It is also recommended not to place the wall directly on the floor slab, but to first apply a strip of DPC foil.
-
Expansion Joints:
- By applying Murfor to long walls, the distances between expansion joints can be increased, and in some cases, an expansion joint is not even necessary. However, it is always recommended to consult a structural engineer.
The use of Murfor I100 contributes to a durable and crack-free structure, especially in situations where stresses and cracks occur frequently. Consulting a professional structural engineer is strongly recommended for specific applications.
