Appropriate masonry reinforcement with Sigmafor avoids any problems caused by building ground not completely paved or when the ground is prone to differential settling.

It is recommended that the first 5 joints (including foundation work) should be reinforced with Sigmafor and that Sigmafor is applied every 50 to 60 cm.
