Wall ties for use in external cavity walls should be selected by the 'Types' in PD6697. This document classifies wall ties by strength and use. Wall ties for use in internal separating walls should comply with Approved Document E: Resistance to the passage of sound.

This kit contains all the necessary components to permanently repair vertical or stepped cracks in masonry. Experts in the remedial market have designed the kit’s contents, guaranteeing the correct specification of reinforcing bar, grout and installation tools required for this application and the compatibility of all components.

The Ancon Starter Bar system is designed to increase the speed of construction at joints where continuity of reinforcement is required, or for fixing applications using standard metric bolts or studding. Use of this Ancon system can simplify concrete design and eliminate the need to drill formwork or concrete.

Deep reveals and soffits are an increasingly popular design feature that add an extra depth and dimension to masonry façades. Creating these effects can be key but can pose engineering problems as the main building façade must opening, while seeming to be unsupported by structural steelwork.

Tie bars are increasingly being used in structures and buildings as an architectural as well as a structural element. In addition to providing a high load capacity, the Halfen Detan range of Tension System meets the demanding aesthetic requirements of today’s applications.

The majority of Ancon products are manufactured from stainless steel. This material offers many advantages to the specifier and its use in the Construction Industry continues to increase. Stainless steel building products ensure a high degree of corrosion resistance without requiring additional protection and are 100% recyclable at the end of their long service life.

Wall ties and restraint fixings are an essential element in the stability of masonry panels. Leviat manufactures fixings in a variety of lengths and types for restraining brickwork, blockwork and stonework. Restraints can be fixed to concrete and structural steelwork as well as any type of masonry.

Our latest white paper, authored by our team of industry experts, aims to raise awareness of this subject and provide clarity for building professionals involved in the design and detailing of such systems. By working with numerous suppliers across the industry, we have improved the guidance available whilst ensuring customers have the freedom to decide which type and make of cavity barrier to adopt.
