Ladder Mesh is also named Block Truss Wire Mesh, Masonry Reinforcement Mesh.
Masonry horizontal joint reinforcement mesh includes ladder-type and truss type. Ladder type reinforcements are designed to be embedded in the horizontal mortar joints of masonry walls. It consists of two parallel side rods with cross rods forming a ladder configuration. Truss type reinforcement designed to be embedded masonry wall. It consists of 2 side-rods welded to a continuous diagonal formed cross-rod forming a truss design.

• Welded spots of warp wire and weft wire are on the same surface.
• It increases lateral flexural strength and performance of masonry walls under various stresses.
• It improves resistance to water penetration and shrinkage cracking of masonry walls.
• Greatly reduces cracking that can arise from thermal stresses
• Enhances resistance to water penetration, as cracks are controlled
• Bonds exterior and interior masonry wythes together in composite walls
• Bonds masonry at intersecting walls and corners
• Increases performance of masonry walls under various stresses
It is used for concrete construction reinforcement, normally used for the wall reinforcement. It is a welded and fabricated steel reinforcing structure which is laid in the bed joint to strengthen masonry panels without thickening the wall. It can prevent or reduce cracking in walls by bonding the masonry units together so as to strengthen the masonry panel where it is installed.
