Steel for Bricks

GHAS® system

A construction system consisting of enclosures whose thickness completely crosses in front of the structure, with a horizontal mortar joint being the only indispensable requirement.

As with conventional enclosures, they have to be designed to withstand vertical and horizontal forces.
