SST Starter Ties

SST Starter Ties are versatile and reliable stainless steel ties designed for connecting new walls directly to existing brickwork. Supplied complete with nylon plugs, they are ideal for both internal and external use in brick or block construction up to 8 metres or 3 storeys high. These ties can also be installed without the plug and fixed directly into timber door or window frames, making them a flexible solution for various construction scenarios. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, SST Starter Ties ensure long-term durability and compliance with modern building standards.
