TangChao Metal's Continuous Wire is an essential structural reinforcement solution specifically engineered for masonry veneer walls. Designed to mitigate risks associated with thermal expansion and contraction, our continuous wire ensures a uniform distribution of lateral forces, significantly enhancing the overall stability and seismic resilience of building facades in accordance with the Uniform Building Code.
Manufactured using premium-grade materials and advanced production technology, these wires provide critical connectivity between the veneer and the supporting structure. Whether you are operating in earthquake-prone zones or challenging chemical environments, our range of galvanized and stainless steel options ensures long-term durability and superior corrosion resistance for professional construction projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
The primary purpose is to provide additional protection against thermal expansion and contraction while ensuring a uniform distribution of lateral forces across the veneer wall.
For harsh environments, we recommend Type 316 Stainless Steel, which offers the highest level of corrosion resistance compared to Type 304 or Hot-Dip Galvanized steel.
Yes, our continuous wire is designed to meet the Uniform Building Code requirements for anchored veneer walls in seismic zones.
The wire should be embedded directly into the mortar joint during installation and securely fastened to the tie anchor which is connected to the supporting structure.
We offer several sizes to meet project needs, including the standard 9 gauge (3/16" diameter) and 1/4" diameter options.
Absolutely. Pairing our cold rolled steel bars for primary reinforcement with continuous wire for joint stability creates a superior structural system for masonry and concrete.
