Steel ties

Steel ties are used in construction to connect and secure two layers of masonry with a cavity. They play a crucial role in ensuring the structural stability and integrity of buildings by preventing the layers of masonry from separating or shifting, especially in cases where the building is subjected to various forces like wind, earthquakes, and settling. Wall ties are of stainless steel to ensure resistance to corrosion and maintain their strength over time. The ends of the wall ties are usually shaped to grip onto the masonry units and hold them together effectively.

Roof tie/clips are particularly useful in areas prone to high winds or severe weather conditions, as they enhance the overall stability and longevity of the roof. These clips are typically attached to the roof structure, such as wooden battens or roof decking, and then the tiles are positioned over them. The clips hold the tiles down, reducing the risk of them being lifted or blown away. They come in various designs to suit different types of roof tiles and roofing systems.
