Ancon Galvanised AMR/G/D5.0/W100 2.7M (Pack of 20)

Ancon AMR is a welded wire ladder type reinforcement, manufactured in 2700 mm standard lengths, used to improve the structural performance of masonry walls, in accordance with BS 5628-2: 2005, by providing additional resistance to lateral loads e.g. wind. It can also be used to reduce the risk of cracking either at stress concentrations around openings or as a result of movement, in accordance with BS 5628-3: 2005.

AMR is available in four standard widths, 60, 100, 150 and 175 mm and is suitable for walls 100 - 215 mm thick.

The product is manufactured from five wire sizes which, after flattening, have an equivalent wire diameter of 3, 4 and 5 mm. Longitudinal wires have a minimum characteristic yield strength of 500 N/mm.

Ancon AMR is available in austenitic stainless steel and galvanised steel. Galvanised steel is not suitable for use in the external leaf of a cavity wall.
