We supply 100% New Zealand made ductile and hard-drawn reinforcing mesh required for the New Zealand construction and building industry. Manufactured in facilities around the country, then distributed through leading building material suppliers or directly through our national branch network.

Seismic 500E grade of reinforcing mesh designed to withstand the forces of seismic activity provides stronger reinforcement to concrete foundations.

Hard drawn mesh is more suitable for non-structural applications, such as driveways and footpaths.

We offer a range of mesh sheet sizes to meet the needs of typical New Zealand applications.

From innovation and development to manufacture, Max Frank’s Pecafil Stay-In-Place Formwork system speeds up construction, improves build quality, reduces the need for skilled labour and saves you money. Pecafil Installation is available exclusively at Fletcher Reinforcing.

The specially manufactured material is constructed from a steel mesh in a wide range of sheet and strip sizes and shaped to meet the application. Its distinctive yellow outer layer is heat-shrunk puncture resistant polyethylene, made from non-toxic, naturally occurring hydrocarbons.

Features & Benefits

• Reduced critical path duration due to lead & lag tasks being nearly fully overlapped
• Fasters installation resulting in reduced labour cost
• No stripping, cleaning or returning of the formwork as the formwork stays in place
• Possible to prefabricate off-site with reinforcing steel prior to delivery
• Backfilling can commence as soon as formwork is placed
• Smaller excavations as less working room is required
• Better site access due to reduced formwork space requirements
• Light enough for one person to handle with ease.

Max Frank’s Stremaform Stay-In-Place construction joint system speeds up construction, improves build quality, reduces the need for skilled labour and saves you money.

The Stremaform Construction Joint Formwork Systems consists of a special expanded metal mesh which replaces the traditional formwork. It stays in the concrete and eliminates any need for formwork removal or scabbling of the surface prior to the second pour. Tests carried out by the Technical University of Brunswick show that the resistance of these construction joints to shear forces is identical to that for monolithic concrete.

Features & Benefits

• Stremaform eliminates any need for formwork removal and scabbling
• Stremaform Formwork installation speed dramatically sped up when heavily congested with reinforcing
• Dimensionally stable and designed to withstand concrete pressure during the pour
• More consistent performance of concrete bond at construction joints resulting in a monolithic joint
• Reduced task duration and greater overlap with lead & lag tasks reduces the critical path duration
