In addition to providing structural support, wall ties also play a role in controlling the movement of the wall due to factors such as temperature changes or settling of the building. By connecting the inner and outer layers of masonry, wall ties help to distribute any movement evenly across the wall, preventing cracking or other damage.
Repair damaged or aged: If the original connector has been damaged, corroded or aged, replacement can eliminate potential safety hazards and ensure the safety of the wall under various loads.
