Type 4 Housing Ties

Long Description:

A cavity wall is really two separate leaves of masonry, and without something tying them together they’d move independently under load or wind pressure — which is where cracking and instability start. These ties get built into the mortar joints as the wall goes up, connecting both leaves so the whole wall behaves as one structure rather than two.

Features & Benefits

• Ties inner and outer leaves together during construction
• Stainless steel resists corrosion over the building’s lifetime
• Distributes load evenly across the cavity wall
• Straightforward to build in as the wall’s laid

Specifications
These are stainless steel wall ties for cavity wall construction, designed to connect the inner and outer masonry leaves in houses, extensions, and low-rise buildings.

Where It’s Used
Comes up on any cavity wall build — new houses, extensions, garages, and low-rise apartment blocks all use this kind of tie as standard in brick and block construction.

Fitting
Built in as the wall’s laid, at spacing and embedment set by current building regulations for the wall type and cavity width — this isn’t something to guess at, since wall tie spacing and type are specifically regulated for structural safety. Comes through the same suppliers as the rest of our building materials range.
