Hello,
First of all, I know there are countless threads regarding the issue in question, that the reinforcement has rusted and needs to be replaced.
My problem seems to be mainly finding the right material to carry out the appropriate measure.
I have heard a lot of good things about Murmas wall beam system, for example here on byggahus.
However, I can't find where to buy it; it doesn't seem to be available at Bauhaus & Hornbach, for example.
This makes me wonder if it is really used to any great extent?
Does anyone know what is usually used? Is regular galvanized reinforcement enough?
So you then go without Murmas arch form?
The other concern, since it's about Mexican brick, I understand that a specific type of mortar should be used?
Even this seems hard to find at building supply stores, I found Finja's Murbruk B for sand-lime bricks on their website, but it's not on the pages of building supply stores. Has anyone done similar work and knows what to use?
I would be very grateful for an answer.
The difficult part of projects usually isn't finding the right material
Best regards

My problem seems mainly to be finding the right material to carry out the appropriate action.
I've heard good things about Murma's wall beam system, including here on byggahus.
However, I can't find where to buy it, it doesn't seem to be available at Bauhaus & Hornbach, for example.
This makes me wonder if it is really used to any large extent?
Does anyone know what is usually used? Is galvanized rebar enough?
So then you go without Murma's arch shape?
The other concern, since it's about Mexitegel, I understand that a special type of mortar should be used?
Even that seems hard to find at building supply stores, I find Finja's mortar B for lime sandstone on their website, but not on the building stores' sites. Anyone who has done similar work and knows what to use?
I would be very grateful if I get an answer.

Do you have any pictures of your issues?
Stainless steel is what's needed in façade brick, not galvanized.
Including Murma's page so you can contact them..

No pictures at the moment, but it's the classic row of bricks that have started to sag above the basement window.Rejäl said:
Okay, stainless steel, I read somewhere that galvanized was enough. But I agree, might as well go for stainless steel.
I found a list of Murma's retailers, but once on the retailer's website, I can't find the items.
How have others managed to get a hold of the material?
Since you have sensitive façade bricks that are not easy to find, I would install a beam without having seen it..A Oskahr said:
It becomes stronger and not as dependent on adhesion as if you were to just lay the bricks back..
Stainless steel is the only approved material in façade bricks as this is considered a cold part of our façades due to the air gap behind..
Galvanized might be approved by some manufacturers of aerated concrete...
Alright, sounds reasonable.Rejäl said:
Now I just have to find somewhere to buy their beam.
Who knew it would be so difficult.
Edit:
If you have a link to where one can buy murma's stuff, it would be greatly appreciated!
But call murma, I don't even know where you live😉A Oskahr said:

I think everything worth finding is on the internet, after all, it's 2024 now.
They'll just refer me to their reseller who sells to professionals..
But you can ask for someone who sells to consumers. Around Gothenburg, where I've worked all my life, we have both Beijer and Brukspecialisten, which both sell to private consumers.A Oskahr said:
