Masonry to Masonry Ties Click for more information
These products act to secure two leaves of a cavity wall to each other, allowing them to act as one, structurally.
A cavity tie usually incorporates some mechanism, (usually a change of shape) to discourage moisture moving across the tie. Most cavity ties are available with a dedicated clip to secure insulation (usually in sheet form) within the cavity.
Masonry to Timber Ties Click for more information
This range of products is specifically designed to secure an inner timber frame to an outer brick skin. The main property of these ties is that they can absorb substantial vertical movement between the brick and timber, whilst still performing its structural function.
Movement Ties Click for more information
This range of ties allows masonry walls to be tied back to other structures, (steelwork or masonry) providing restraint in one direction but allowing movement in the other.
This is achieved by placing a “debonding sleeve” over the part of the tie which is to be embedded in the wall, allowing the tie to move within the sleeve.
Also used in movement joints where they occur in long runs of brickwork, the ties spanning over a vertical joint preventing vertical movement but allowing horizontal expansion and contraction.
Lateral Restraint Ties Click for more information
These products allow masonry walls to be restrained back to other elements of structure. This could be to pre-existing walls, or new or pre-existing steel work. The ties, once in position prevent sideways movement between a wall and another structure.
