Pack of 10 x 6mm x 1 Metre Stainless Steel HELICAL Bars for Repairing Masonry Walls

Product Information

Twistfix only supplies helicalbars produced with this advanced engineering.The upgraded bars areproduced in the UK's only manufacturing facility that, under one roof,takes in round wire and sends out finished helical products. Other manufacturers merely part-process pre-shaped wire thathas been cold roll-profiledby a third party. We create sustainable and inspiring workplaces which are technologically smart, rich in amenities and promote employee wellbeing. The bars are completely versatile and can be cut to any length and bent into any shape. Fitted with either polyester resin or cementitious grout, both techniques will help increase the tensile and flexural structure of the masonry wall. Easi-Fix Helical Drive Ties

Insert a further bead of HeliBondover the exposed HeliBar, finishing 12mm from face and ‘iron’ firmly into the slot using the HeliBar insertion tool

Pump a second bead of the WHO60® grout to fill each slot evenly to within 15mm of the wall surface. Push the helical bar firmly into the grout to around two thirds of the depth of the slot. Make sure that the bar extends 500mm either side of the window or door. With the addition of a second bar, the stress forces that act on the lintel are further redistributed. The tensile strength exhibited by a lintel reinforced with a helical bar surpasses the alternatives, often many times over. With the lintel restored, you remove the risk of the lintel failing and any dangerous repercussions. Installing Helical Bars for Lintel Repairs General builders are able to buy Twistfix helical bars in a wide range of lengths and diameters; all with improved product tolerance and consistency. The primary component of a masonry stitching kit is the helical stitching bars. These bars are often made of stainless steel and are twisted - helical refers to a spiral shape - to provide extra strength and flexibility.

The ties can be installed using a SDS-Plus shank hammer drill to drive and countersink the tie. The unique design of the helical tie means the tie can be easily driven into a 5.5mm pre-drilled pilot hole. The fins of the tie undercut the masonry when being driven into the substrate to provide an expansion-free anchorage that will withstand tension and compression loads.This guide aims to answer these questions and take you through how to repair lintels with helical spiral bars. Apply a second bead of anchor grout into the slot, making sure that the first bar is completely covered. Trowel away any excess grout before adding the second helical bar. This bar should reach around half the depth of the slot and be at least 10mm from the first bar. Leading the way in the development and implementation of the very latest in smart building technologies, we create attractive and sustainable workplaces with best in class amenities to enable our future focused occupiers to thrive. Push a helical bar into the incision about three-quarters deep. Ensure the grout encapsulates it and compress any grout that has been displaced. Helically twisted masonry reinforcementrods have for 30 years been used in the structural repair sector of the UK building industry; but do you know whether Helifix Helibars or Twistfix bars have been used? The original Helibars were invented and patented by Twistfix Director WilliamOllis, whorecentlyre-engineered his invention. These upgraded Twistfix bars are produced with a greater degree of product consistency to improve upon the performance of the early Helifix product.

The Easi-Fix Helical Drive Tie has been labelled as the more reliable and faster way to tie facades together. The ties can also be installed through cavity wall insulation, providing high strength and flexibility. Although the job may sound expensive, the installations costs are relatively low.

Helical bars have great axial strength when grouted into walls. They are able to spread loads and accommodate natural and cyclical movements within a building whilst holding the components firmly together.The reinforcing bars are generally concealed within mortar beds to disguise installation.
