Halfen - Brickwork ties and restraints

Introduction

A comprehensive range of brickwork restraint products to provide structural stability and to transmit forces imposed by wind pressures. The range includes cavity ties, frame cramps, brick tie channels, insulation retaining disks, and sliding brick anchors. In addition to the standard ranges, products are also manufactured to special requirements.

Brick ties

Ties are required in brickwork/masonry to provide structural stability and to resist the wind load. Halfen manufacture two ranges:

HTS system

This consists of a range of standard designs available in standard lengths, ex-stock and suitable for most applications, as shown in these plans:

• ties to suit Halfen channel (both cast-in and surface fixed) are coded HTS-B
• ties to suit normal cavity walls are coded HTS-C
• ties for use as frame cramps, i.e. either screwed or bolted, are coded HTS-FS

Made-to-order system

For designs and details where the HTS system is not suitable, for example:

• wider cavities
• greater imposed loads
• special feature panels of masonry

Halfen manufacture ties to order with minimal time and cost implications.
