BUILDER METALWORK & WALL TIES FOR STRUCTURAL STABILITY

BUILDER METALWORK & WALL TIES FOR STRUCTURAL STABILITY

Builder metalwork and wall ties are essential components in construction, ensuring structural integrity, durability, and compliance with building regulations. These metal connectors link masonry walls, timber elements, and structural components to form cohesive, load-bearing assemblies.

Key uses include:

  • Securing timber joists to masonry walls
  • Tying brickwork leaves together in cavity walls
  • Reinforcing wall junctions and preventing movement
  • Supporting structural loads and transfers
TYPES OF BUILDER METALWORK – FROM CONNECTION TO SUPPORT

TYPES OF BUILDER METALWORK – FROM CONNECTION TO SUPPORT

Builder metalwork comes in a wide variety of forms, each designed for specific structural tasks in timber and masonry construction.

Common types include:

  • Joist Hangers: Support timber joists in brick/block walls
  • Restraint Straps: Provide horizontal and vertical stability
  • Angle Brackets: Reinforce joints between timber members
  • Truss Clips & Timber Connectors: Secure roofing components
  • Framing Anchors: Tie timber frames to masonry

Each is available in galvanised or stainless steel, conforming to BS EN 845-1 for quality and performance.

WALL TIES EXPLAINED – LINKING LEAVES FOR LASTING STRUCTURE

WALL TIES EXPLAINED – LINKING LEAVES FOR LASTING STRUCTURE

Wall ties are metal components used to connect the two leaves of cavity walls, ensuring they act as a single structural unit and resisting external forces.

Main types of wall ties:

  • Masonry-to-Masonry Ties: Such as VE4, VE2, EN2, used in new cavity wall construction
  • Low Thermal Conductivity Ties: NEUTRAS series, ideal for thermal efficiency
  • Heavy-Duty Safety Ties: VST1, VS6, VE1 for high-rise or commercial builds
  • Remedial Ties: HELI, REM, and V30, for retrofitting or replacing corroded ties
  • Starter Ties: V63 and SST for joining new walls to existing ones

Tested to BS EN 845-1 standards and available in various sizes and load ratings.

WHY USE BUILDER METALWORK & WALL TIES?

WHY USE BUILDER METALWORK & WALL TIES?

Incorporating high-quality builder metalwork and wall ties is critical to a safe and long-lasting structure. Benefits span structural, thermal, and installation efficiencies.

Benefits include:

  • Improved structural stability and load distribution
  • Prevention of wall separation or bowing
  • Resistance to corrosion (galvanised or stainless steel)
  • Compliance with UK Building Regulations
  • Easy, consistent installation across site types
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR YOUR BUILD

CHOOSING THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR YOUR BUILD

With many types and sizes available, selecting the correct metalwork and ties depends on your building's structure, materials, and intended loads.

Considerations:

  • Building Height: Heavier-duty ties for buildings over 10m
  • Cavity Width: Ties and hangers must suit gap dimensions
  • Material Compatibility: Galvanised for dry environments, stainless for exposed/industrial zones
  • Movement Needs: Use debonded or movement ties where expansion joints are necessary

Always refer to the latest British Standards and ensure installation matches design specs.
