Setting tool used with 8mm Helical Remedial Wall ties
Learn MoreThe term "remedial" implies that these wall ties are used as a solution to address pre-existing problems or weaknesses in the existing wall structure. Remedial wall ties are typically installed in situations where the original wall ties have become corroded, damaged or where they were not installed correctly during the initial construction.
The key functions of remedial wall ties are as follows:
Structural Integrity: They help maintain the stability and strength of the wall by connecting and anchoring the inner and outer layers of masonry.
Preventing Wall Separation: Remedial wall ties prevent the two layers of masonry from separating, which could lead to structural issues and instability.
Improved Weather Resistance: By maintaining the structural integrity of the wall, they help improve the wall's resistance to wind, rain, and other environmental factors.
Thermal Performance: In cavity walls, wall ties can also impact the insulation properties. Remedial wall ties are designed to minimize thermal bridging, which helps improve energy efficiency.
These ties are often made of corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel to ensure their long-term durability. The installation of remedial wall ties involves drilling into the existing masonry and attaching the ties to both the inner and outer layers, effectively tying them together to restore or enhance the structural stability of the wall.
