Ties for cavity walls and masonry cladding
Reviews the history of the development of cavity wall ties, particularly in relation to their durability, and covers recent improvements in both materials specifications and performance. Describes newer forms of tie and illustrates those suitable for fixing new masonry to timber, concrete, steel and lightweight concrete slabs or blockwork as well as alternatives to the traditional tie types. Discusses products installed in existing walls to deal with problems such as corrosion of original ties, insufficient provision, or ties of the wrong specification.
