Movement Debonding Slip Ties – Stainless Steel – c/w Sleeves

Used for the formation of traditional movement joints placed in mortar bed joints at 450 centers. The movement ties restrain masonry against lateral wind loads whilst allowing brick walls and masonry panels to expand or contract.

Each stainless steel tie body has a plain end and a perforated end; and has a debonding sleeve that fits over the plain end end. The sleeve should be installed leaving a 10mm gap at the end of the tie to allow for expansion of brickwork. Ties should be installed at 300mm centres and conventional cavity wall ties should be installed either side of the expansion joint.

The debonding ties can be used in new build cavity wall having a vertical movement joint or in retrofit work where the remedial installation of an expansion joint is cut into and existing brick wall.

Traditional movement joints may require the use of removable batten to achieve consistent width of the joint and will require suitable filler, or fire stop, materials built in during construction or inserted when the structure is completed
