The construction industry is under increasing pressure to build smarter, faster, and more sustainably.

That's where Murfor® Compact comes in. As the next generation of masonry reinforcement, it combines strength, ease of installation, and sustainability in one innovative solution.

Masonry reinforcement reimagined...on a roll?

Traditional bed joint reinforcement can be bulky, heavy, and time-consuming to install. Murfor® Compact takes a different approach.

 

Made from a high-strength steel cord net, Murfor® Compact comes on a roll and can be quickly unrolled over masonry layers. The result is faster installation, easier handling, and durable masonry performance.

 

For architects, engineers, and contractors, this means greater design flexibility and improved on-site efficiency.

Small Roll. Big Benefits.

Murfor® Compact simplifies masonry reinforcement without sacrificing strength.

 

Key advantages include:

 

  • 3x lighter than traditional reinforcement solutions
  • 10x more product per unit, reducing transportation and storage needs
  • Easier on-site handling, thanks to its compact format
  • Effective crack control for enhanced durability
  • Improved resistance to wind loads
  • Increased spacing between movement joints
  • Reduced earthquake damage risk through better structural performance

 

By combining high tensile strength with a compact format, Murfor® Compact helps construction teams work smarter while delivering reliable reinforcement where it matters most.

There is a Murfor® Compact roll for every masonry application

Murfor® Compact is available in different versions to suit specific masonry requirements:

 

  • Murfor® Compact E: Made of stainless steel, suitable for facade brick walls.
  • Murfor® Compact I: Made of galvanized steel suitable for external plastered and internal walls.
  • Murfor® Compact A: Made of galvanized steel suitable for Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC)  and Calcium Silicate (CS) external plastered and internal walls.

 

This range allows specifiers and contractors to select the right reinforcement solution for their project while benefiting from the same ease of use and performance advantages.


Building the future, brick by brick

As the construction industry moves toward lower-carbon buildings, innovation in reinforcement materials can make a significant impact.

 

Murfor® Compact demonstrates that masonry reinforcement can be stronger, lighter, and easier to install. Whether you're focused on productivity or structural performance, it's a solution designed to help you meet today's challenges while building for tomorrow.

 

Reinforcing smarter today. Building a more sustainable construction industry tomorrow.
