Masonry Support

In design situations when a
masonry support angle is required
there are three principle systems
to choose from: AnconOptima,
MDC or CFA. Through our on site
design evaluation with your project
manager and negotiations with
your procurement and design
teams, we can ascertain which
system is appropriate in each
instance.

Project Management Service
SIG Construction Accessories is the primary
driver of information flow throughout the
design process of masonry support systems.
All aspects of the approval and manufacturing
process are co-ordinated through a dedicated
account manager, who will ensure the proposed
designs are signed off for manufacture and
delivered to your construction schedule.
Detailed cross section and layout drawings
are supplied for the bespoke support system
required. This will show the location of the
fixings, whether it is bolt positioning for cast-in
channels for concrete frames or bolt positioning
for steel frames. Bracket angle units are cross
referenced clearly against grid lines for easy
installation on site.
Details for Specification and Ordering
The principal information needed to start
an enquiry is:
• What is the cavity size?
• What is the masonry load to be carried?
• What is the support system being fixed
back to?


Specification / Referencing
Ancon masonry support follows an easy to
use referencing system to aid installation on
site. The reference always follows the same
structure:
System / type / cavity / masonry load / projection
where:
MDC = Welded Bracket / Angle.
MDC/R = Welded Bracket / Angle with reversed
angle.
MDC/I = Welded Bracket / Angle inverted angle
system.
CFA = Cold Formed Angle standard system.
CFA/I = Cold Formed Angle Inverted system.
P = Projection.
Examples:
MDC / R / 75 / 5.6
Welded Bracket system with a reversed angle
to suit a 75mm cavity and to carry 5.6kN/metre
run of masonry.
CFA / I / 50 / 6.0
Continuous / Cold Formed Angle system with
an inverted angle to suit a 50mm cavity and to
carry 6.0kN/m run of masonry.
Adjustment
Cast-in channel will provide virtually unlimited
horizontal adjustment; slotted holes in a
steel edge member will offer more limited
adjustment.
The ability of welded bracket support systems
to accommodate variations in the line of the
structure is limited by the maximum thickness
of shims.
Shims can be included between the bracket
and the frame up to a maximum thickness
of the outside diameter of the fixing bolt, or
16mm, whichever is less.
Vertical adjustment is provided by the deep slot
in the back of the bracket.
Bi-metallic Corrosion
Corrosion of a steel frame may be slightly
increased where there is direct contact with
stainless steel in a damp environment. This
can be avoided by isolating the two dissimilar
metals by painting the contact area or by
incorporating a separating membrane.

AnconOptima Standard Support Systems

Available from stock
The Industry’s growing emphasis on speed of
construction, and the limited ability of welded
bracket support systems to provide adjustment
on site, has created a demand for an offthe-
shelf support system.
AnconOptima consists of short two-step angles,
interchangable brackets and locking wedges.
Benefits of AnconOptima
• More adjustable than welded bracket systems
allowing for variations in the structural frame
• Specified by using simple load / cavity charts
• No requirement for detailed layout drawings,
reducing design time
• Non-project specific and supplied from stock
• Faster and easier to install - reduces labour
requirements for installation
Adjustment
Brackets are changed on site to allow for
variations in the edge beam and are available
to suit cavities from 60mm to 150mm in 5mm
increments.
Shims can be used for fine adjustments and
should never need to be more than 4mm thick.
The AnconOptima System features a fixing
zone providing a total of 50mm horizontal
adjustment. If the system is to be fixed using
expansion bolts, the brackets can be moved
to eliminate clashes between the bolts and
reinforcing bar. This also allows the system to
be fixed to pre-drilled holes rather than slots in
steelwork.
Vertical adjustment is achieved in the usual
way by the deep slot in the back of the bracket.
Horizontal adjustment can be increased by
fixing the system to an Ancon channel cast into
the face of the concrete.
Cutting On Site
AnconOptima is not designed for specific
buildings and certain angles will need to be cut
on site to suit the length required. Each angle
section must have at least two brackets.
Corners
Standard left-hand and right-hand corners
are available. Each corner section requires
three brackets in order to achieve the required
performance. These sections should never be
cut.
Installation
A detailed installation guide is enclosed with
each delivery. Additional copies are available
on request.

Ancon MDC Bracket Angle Support System

This bespoke system can carry over eight
metres of brickwork and can accommodate any
width of cavity from 40mm. The brackets are
welded to the angle and the material content
of both components is optimised to ensure an
economic solution.
The Ancon MDC system can be supplied in
a variety of configurations to suit particular
applications and support special masonry
features. The size of the support angle can be
varied to suit the thickness and height of the
masonry to be carried. Bracket spacing, depth
and height are all varied to suit loadings, fixing
position and cavity width.
Adjustment
Limited adjustment is provided in every
direction to allow for tolerance in the structural
frame.
The serrated and slotted face of the bracket
allows for vertical adjustment. Shims allow
adjustment to suit variation in the structural
frame. Longitudinal adjustment is provided by a
cast-in channel in concrete or slots in steelwork.

CFA Continuous Angle Support System

Continuous angles are usually suitable for
applications where cavities are small, or there
is a requirement for the cavity to be closed at
the support position.
The angles will normally be supplied in lengths
of up to four metres.
Adjustment
Adjustment is provided in every direction to
allow for tolerance in the structural frame.
Vertical slots in the angle with serrated
pads allow ±25mm adjustment. Horizontal
adjustment is virtually unlimited when fixing to
a continuous cast-in channel and will depend
on the length of the slotted holes in the edge
member when fixing to steel.
Slotted holes (18 x 60mm) in the angle allow
horizontal adjustment of ±22mm. Shims can
be included between the bracket and the
frame, up to a maximum thickness of the
outside diameter of the fixing bolt, or 16mm,
whichever is less.
Thermal Breaks

Masonry support systems from Ancon can be
supplied with Thermal Breaks* to minimise
cold bridging, and improve the energy
efficiency of your building project.
Ancon Thermal breaks work by inserting a
material with a lower thermal conductivity
between the brackets and the frame. Shaped
like a standard Ancon key-hole shim, these
Thermal Breaks are manufactured from a
durable fibre-reinforced thermoset plastic,
which has a thermal conductivity of just
0.3W/mK.
This product is suitable for standard
AnconOptima support brackets and most
Ancon MDC-type brackets.
*Ancon Thermal Break, ref. BK03

Cast-in Channels

Cast-in Channels range from simple self-anchoring slots for accepting
restraint fixings to large capacity channels with integral anchors. They
provide the necessary adjustment required when fixing to concrete and
can eliminate site drilling. Nail holes aid the fixing of channels to timber
formwork and an infill prevents the ingress of concrete during casting.
Cast-in fixings do not generate expansive forces in the concrete and can
be used at close centres and closer to the edges than expansion fixings.
There are many cast-in channel profiles, the most commonly used are
21/18 and 30/20.
Omega 21/18

The Omega 21/18 Channel is a self-anchoring
channel for use with Ancon wall ties referenced
SP21, SD21 or PP21. The shallow depth of
18mm allows the channel to be used where
there is reduced cover to the reinforcement.
Nail holes aid the fixing of the channel to
timber formwork.
30/20

Ancon 30/20 is a high performance channel
and should be used in preference to 38/17. Its
unique shape allows the applied load to be fed
directly from the channel lips to the anchors
and the more compact section size improves
its fit between reinforcement. In addition, its
lower material content provides cost benefits.
Specially designed T-head bolts ride up the
sloping sides of the channel and securely lock
behind the front lips. This channel also accepts
standard 20mm wide wall ties.

Fixing to Channels

This is achieved by ‘T’ head bolts. These are
inserted into the channel and turned through
90°. The bolt must then be tightened to the
correct torque. Tapped plate washers can be
used as an alternative to ‘T’ bolts where non-
standard bolt lengths or diameters are required.
Allowable Channel Loads
The allowable load data is available upon
request.
Channel Infill
All Ancon channels are supplied filled to help
stop the ingress of concrete during casting. This
material is removed easily in long sections.
Installation Guidance
When fixing to timber formwork, all nail holes
need to be utilised, to prevent excessive ingress
of concrete fines between the formwork and
the channel during casting. Nails with a plain
shank should be installed perpendicular to
the channel to ensure easy removal of the
formwork.
Masonry Support Fixings

Design Considerations
There are several factors which will affect the
performance of these fixings.
The following areas should be considered
to ensure that the expected performance is
achieved:
• Embedment
• Edge distances and spacings
• Fixing thicknesses and shims
• Combined loads
Types of Suitable Fixings:
• Single Expansion Bolts (Concrete)
• High Performance Bolts (Concrete)
• Ancon Steel Grip (Steel Box Section)
• Resin Anchors (Concrete)
We can select the most appropriate fixing for
your masonry support application.

Lintels

Lintels span across openings (typically doors
and windows) and transfer the weight of the
masonry above the opening to the masonry
each side. The horizontal leg of the lintel fits
within a bed joint, the front edge is usually
turned down to provide a drip edge which
helps shed moisture above the opening. Lintels
usually support both leaves of masonry, but
single leaf lintels are also available.
A complete range of galvanised and stainless
steel lintels are available to suit all domestic
and commercial applications.
The Housing and Unilintel ranges are designed
to suit the loading conditions found in the
majority of residential and commercial
buildings.
The standard range consists of:
• Housing Lintels
• Unilintels
• Channel Lintels
• Solid Wall Lintels
• Single Leaf Lintels
• Timber Frame Lintels
• Box Lintels
Custom Lintels

In order to meet the requirements of today’s
challenging industry, SIG Construction
Accessories can source the design and
manufacture of both special stainless steel and
galvanised steel lintels for application where
standard lintels are unsuitable.
Solutions can be supplied for complex features
such as corbels and other architectural details.
Special cranked, bay, corner and cantilevered
corners are available in addition to the
following arch shapes:
• Segmental arch
• Semi-circular arch
• Apex arch
• Gothic arch
• Flat top arch
• Double arch
• Arched on plan
The following information will aid the design
of a custom lintel and if available should be
supplied with your enquiry:
• Wall construction: outer leaf, inner leaf and
cavity size.
• Clear span of opening
• Bearings available (if less than 225mm)
• Radius or rise of arch and angles for apex/
cranked and corner lintels

Windposts

Large panels of masonry or panels
with openings can often be
difficult to justify structurally. The
traditional solutions have been to
either increase the thickness of
the wall or introduce an additional
column. Windposts fit within the
wall allowing the existing thickness
to be maintained.
Both stainless steel and mild steel/
coated windposts can be supplied.
Ancon WP1 and WP3 Windposts

These are channel section windposts which
are designed to be installed within the cavity
leaving the blockwork undisturbed. The
windposts are complete with end connections
and ties which fit into the vertical slots in the
flanges of the channel section.
Ancon WP2 Windposts

WP2 Windposts are angle section windposts
designed for either small cavities or where wind
loads are high. One leg of the angle windpost
is built into the blockwork, and the blockwork
is tied through the leg of the windpost to
minimise any possible movement or cracking
of internal finishes. If a vertical movement joint
is required in place of a tied joint, debonded
ties can be supplied.
WP2
Typical examples of
windpost applications
WP1
WP3

Ancon WP4 Windposts

These are generally used in internal blockwork
walls that have a ‘fair faced’ finish to both sides
and where the windposts cannot protrude
beyond either face.
Sometimes referred to as ‘spine’ posts they are
flat plates designed to fit within the wall.
Although the depth of a WP4 post is limited by
the width of the masonry (ideally 20mm less
than the wall width) the thickness of the post
can vary to increase its load capacity.
Blockwork is tied through the post. Debonded
ties can be used if the post is positioned at a
movement joint.
Windpost Design

Windposts are designed and manufactured
to suit each individual project. Sufficient time
should be allowed for the design, approval and
manufacturing process when placing orders.
Ancon Windposts are designed to span
vertically between floors to provide lateral
support for panels of brickwork. The windposts
will usually be restrained by the brickwork and
designed as ‘simply supported beams’.
Deflection under wind load will often limit the
maximum loading. Windposts can be designed
as ‘propped cantilevers’ to limit deflection,
this however will require a much larger base
connection which in many cases may be
difficult to accommodate.
Connections to the frame are designed to
permit adjustment during installation. Serrated
surfaces will be provided where adjustment is
in the direction of the load. The top connection
allows for shrinkage or vertical movement of
the frame to take place. The type of fixing will
depend on the nature of the frame. Expansion
bolts are normally supplied for concrete frames
and set screws will be supplied for steel frames.
Typical fixing details are shown overleaf,
although others are available.

Parapet and Spandrel Posts

Ancon Parapet and Spandrel Posts are
restrained by the brickwork and designed
as ‘cantilevers’. The base connection will
need to be sufficient to resist the ‘bending
moment’ and may in some cases be difficult
to accommodate within the floor construction.
The height of these posts is unlikely to be more
than 1.6 metres.

These can be supplied with a range of coatings
to suit the application, such as galvanised red
oxide paint or just in plain mild steel. Both SHS
and RHS posts can be supplied.

Bricktie®
SCF

Reinforcement for collar jointed walls.
Bricktie®
SCF is a ladder type masonry
reinforcement element that consists of a 20
x 3mm flat tie welded to two longitudinal
flattened reinforcing wires.
Bricktie®
is 175mm wide and 2.7m in length
being specifically designed to reinforce and
provide structural wall ties to suit a 215mm
thick composite masonry wall.
The use of Bricktie®
allows the construction
of collar-jointed walls - made up from two
thinner blocks. By tying the two masonry leaves
together, the wall may be designed as if it were
solid construction.
Bricktie is produced in 3 sizes depending on the
strength required.

Ancon AMR Reinforcement

Ancon AMR is a steel reinforcement, designed
to be located in the horizontal bed joint to
strengthen masonry panels. The longitudinal
steel wires are flattened to ensure good cover is
maintained even lapped or used with wall ties.
Depth and Length
The main longitudinal wires are flattened to
less than 3mm. Ancon AMR is manufactured in
standard lengths of 2700mm.
The longitudinal wires have a minimum
characteristic yield strength of 500N/mm2
.
Materials
Ancon AMR is available in Austenitic stainless
steel (ref. S) and galvanised steel (ref. G).
Stainless steel provides the greatest corrosion
resistance and life-cycle costing benefits, and is
suitable for use in any application. Galvanised
steel is not suitable for use in the external leaf
of a cavity wall.
Wire Diameters
The Ancon AMR is manufactured from five wire
sizes which, after flattening, have an equivalent
wire diameter of 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 and 5mm.
Widths
Available in four standard widths (60, 100, 150,
175mm), the Ancon AMR can be used in wall
widths from 100mm to 215mm.

Ancon AMR - X Reinforcement

Ancon AMR – X is based on the existing Ancon
AMR masonry reinforcement, but with shaped
rather than straight cross wires. This innovative
design is a simple, cost effective way to correct
poor site practice.
If applied to dry bricks or blocks, only the
modified cross wires are in contact with the
masonry; the longitudinal wires are elevated.
When the next masonry unit is lowered, the
mortar layer disperses around the steel, leaving
the reinforcement fully surrounded.
The depth and length of the Ancon AMR – X
is the same as the Ancon AMR reinforcement.
Ancon AMR –X is manufactured from stainless
steel wire and is therefore suitable for use
in internal and external wall panels. The
longitudinal wires are manufactured in two
sizes which, after flattening, have an equivalent
wire diameter of 3mm and 5mm. Available in
two standard widths (60mm, 100mm), Ancon
AMR-X can be used in masonry units from 100
to 150mm wide.

Metal Lath and Mesh

Range of expanded metal sheets and coils for
internal and external plaster key applications
and anti-crack control.
Brick Reinforcement Coil
Coil Mesh Lath is produced for brick and
block-work reinforcement. Its primary usage is
to prevent cracking.
Reasons why you should select stainless steel
or galvanised coils for reinforcing brickwork:
• Brick reinforcement coils are lengths of
expanded stainless or galvanised mesh with
continuity of steel throughout
• Have no joints, welds or interweaving to fail
under stress
• Once mortared into brickwork the diamond-
shaped meshes are anchored immovably
so that the reinforcement cannot slip under
tension
Specification
All galvanised materials are manufactured from
steel to DX51.BSEN 10142 (g 275).
Stainless steel materials are manufactured
from steel to EN 10088-2 grade 1.4301
(standard supersedes BS1449 Part 2: 1983
grade 304 S15).

Ancon Wall Ties

The selection and spacing of wall ties depend
on many factors. These include the type of
brick/block to be tied, cavity width, type and
height of building, location and design life.
Map One
Wind speed information taken from BS EN
1991-1-4: 2005 for use with PD 6697: 2010.
Map Two
Wind speed information taken from BS 6399-2:
1997 Code of Practice for Wind Loads for use
with BS 5268-6.1: 1996.
Density and Positioning of Ties
For walls in which both leaves are 90mm or
thicker, ties should be used at not less than
2.5 per square metre (900mm horizontal x
450mm vertical centres). Ties should be evenly
distributed over the wall area, except around
openings, and should preferably be staggered.
Length of Tie and Embedment
Wall ties should be of the correct length to
ensure they are properly embedded in the
masonry. The tie should have a minimum
embedment of 50mm in each leaf but also
take site tolerances into account for both cavity
width and centring of the tie. For this reason
we suggest tie lengths which achieve an
embedment of between 62.5mm and 75mm.
Recommended lengths to suit various cavity
widths are shown for masonry-to-masonry wall
ties.

Debonding Sleeves

Debonding sleeves are used on plain-ended
wall ties at vertical movement joints. The tie
will restrain the masonry against lateral wind
loads but the sleeve will allow the masonry
to expand or contract. A 120mm long sleeve
will provide an allowance for movement
and tolerance, and will be suitable for most
applications. Other lengths and sizes available
to special order.
Length: 120mm.
Insulation Retaining Clips

The red Insulation Retaining Clip will fit all
standard stainless steel wall ties.
Size: 80mm Diameter.
Pack Sizes: Bags of 20 or 250.
Black Teplo Clip

The black Teplo-Clip should be used with the
TeploTie range.
Hammer Screws

Hammer Screws are available for fixing into
concrete. Sizes: 6 x 40mm, 8 x 60mm.

Tek Screws

Tek Screws are available for fixing into steel up
to 12mm thick. Size: 5.5 x 38mm.
Two-Part Tie

Cavities exceeding 150mm are sometimes
required. This necessitates longer ties which
can be difficult to balance and keep horizontal
when built into the inner leaf. The Ancon
Two-Part Tie has one section built into the
blockwork; the other section is then fixed as the
outer leaf is built.
The inner tie is manufactured in a standard
length of 170mm. Variation in the cavity width
is accommodated by the length of the outer tie.
Insulation Retaining Clips can be supplied to fit
the inner section.
Ancon Two-Part Ties sustain loads which
exceed the requirements for a Type 2 tie
to PD6697 for cavities up to 300mm. An
embedment of 75mm is required at each end.
Fastrack Channel

Building one leaf of the cavity wall in advance
of the other is often beneficial but can create
problems with coursing. Buildings which
incorporate imperial or continental bricks and
standard metric blocks present even greater
difficulties.
Ancon Fastrack Channel is built into the inner
leaf of blockwork ready to take an Ancon SD28
or similar tie for the outer leaf. This method of
construction avoids the dangers of projecting
ties (Tie lengths = open cavity + 50mm).
Ancon Fastrack Channels and Ties can be
supplied in different lengths and can also be
used for tying stonework to blockwork if DD28
or similar Ancon Ties are used.
Ancon Fastrack Channels and Ties sustain loads
which exceed the requirements for a Type 2 tie
to PD6697.
This system can also be manufactured in a
36/8 channel profile that accepts wall ties
referenced SP36 or SD36.

Non-Drill Fixings

Ancon’s range of ‘Non-Drill’ masonry to steel
fixing solutions was developed to address
the safety concerns of the Industry. Driven
by customer demand for masonry restraint
fixings with an alternate installation method
from that of either shot-firing or drilling, Ancon
engineered the innovative solutions that are
detailed here. These fixings do not require the
use of power tools and can reduce installation
times and costs. In all instances they simply
abut the column or attach to the flange to
restrain the wall against lateral wind loads.
Eliminate the dangers associated with shot-
firing and drilling:
• Quick, simple and economical to install
• No power tools required
• No special skills or equipment required
• Fixings either abut the column or attach to
the flange

Hammer-On Section

Available in five sizes to accommodate a steel
thickness from 7mm to 25mm, this fixing is
simply hammered onto the flange. It can be
utilised either on a column with a tie or on a
beam with an internal head restraint.

Column Tie

The Column Tie clamps to the flange of a

at 225mm vertical centres. Manufactured in
lengths to suit the application, it can feature a
drip for use across the cavity or a plain shank
for installation back into the inner leaf.
Remedial Wall Ties

Corrosion of Cavity Wall Ties
Wall ties are an essential element in the
stability of masonry panels. Prior to 1978,
wall ties were usually manufactured from
galvanized mild steel. These ties were expected
to last the lifetime of the building, but for many
years it has been recognised that some of these
wall ties have corroded after only 15 or 20
years.

Surface Fixed Channel

Design Resistances
The design resistances for surface-fixed
channel in the table below assume partial
fixity (M=WL/6) and are limited by either a
maximum stress of 240N/mm2
or a deflection
of span/325.
Design resistances for other spans and/or
different end fixity can be calculated using the
section properties shown below.
Channels are supplied plain-backed for surface
fixing to either concrete or steelwork .
When bolting channel to concrete or steelwork
it is important to utilise all fixing holes (except
with 25/14 channels), incorporating the square
washer provided and ensuring its correct
orientation to achieve the allowable loads.
25/14 Channel should be fixed to steelwork
at 450mm vertical centres with self-drilling

Head Restraints

Head Restraints provide the
necessary restraint to the top
of masonry walls. They allow
for vertical movement to
accommodate shrinkage or
thermal movement of the wall or
structural frame, whilst restraining
wind loads.
Ancon IHR - Internal Head Restraint

The Ancon IHR is used for restraining the top
of internal walls or the top of the inner leaf
of a cavity wall. The opening at the front of
the channel stem is sealed to prevent mortar
ingress and to ensure that vertical movement
can take place between the blockwork and the
structure. The base of the stem must be built
within a bed joint with the centre of the stem
no closer than 50mm from the edge of the
block. The vertical joint should be filled with
mortar each side of the stem. The maximum
joint between the top of the blockwork and the
underside of the frame is not normally greater
than 25mm.
The sliding tie can be provided with either a
hole (IHR - B) or slot (IHR - V) to suit MS bolts,
with a notch end to fix directly into a 38/17
or 30/20 cast-in channel (IHR - C) and with a
notch end to suit the Hammer-On Section that
attaches to a steel flange without site drilling
(IHR - H). The standard Ancon IHR will suit a
215mm high block and can resist a load of
1.5kN*. Other sizes between 150 - 250mm are
available.
*The IHR-H can resist a load of 1kN. When fixed
at 450mm centres staggered each side of the
lower beam flange (effective centres 900mm
on each side) the service load will be 1.1kN per
metre in either direction.

Ancon FHR - Head Restraint

The Ancon FHR Head Restraint is used for
restraining the top of internal walls or the
internal leaf of a cavity wall. The two angles
clamp the top of the wall and have 9mm
diameter holes to suit M8 bolts. They are
supplied with two holes in the longer angle to
allow the restraint to fit 100mm and 140mm
blockwork. Each restraint can resist a service
load of 1kN.
Ancon SAH - Sliding Anchors

Ancon SAH Sliding Anchors have stems which
fit within the cavity and accept ties that slide
to accommodate vertical movement. Available
with six different head options as standard,
they are supplied with one-way or two-way ties
with safety ends.
The standard fixing hole is 12mm diameter
to suit Ancon M10 Single Expansion Bolts or
M10 T Head Bolts to fit Ancon 28/15 Channel.
Ancon SAH Sliding Anchors have 25 x 5mm
stems and a maximum service capacity of 1kN
per stem when the upper tie is within 75mm of
the fixing. Ties should be spaced at a minimum
of 150mm and at least two ties should be used
per stem.

corrosion when fixing to steel.

Self Drilling Screw

These screws feature a shaped drill tip of
hardened steel that allows installation without
pre-drilling. Hi-thread screws accommodate
insulation between a surface-fixed channel and
the steel frame. In addition to those products
identified in the table, Ancon can supply hi-
thread screws to suit an insulation thickness
above 70mm thick and a steel thickness above
4mm. More information is available on request.
Self -drilling screws should be fixed using a
driver with a speed of around 1800rpm. Drive
sockets are available.

Single Expansion Through Bolts

Single expansion bolts fix into a hole which is
similar to the diameter of the bolt. This allows
the hole to be drilled through the hole in the
item to be fixed. The single expansion bolt is a
cost-effective anchor, available in grade A4 316
(1.4401 or 1.4571) stainless steel in a wide
range of sizes.

Restraint Straps/Multiholed Fixings Straps
HES/LES Heavy/Light Engineered Restraint Straps

A direct replacement for traditional 2.5mm
and 5mm thick restraint straps, the innovative
design of these new lightweight straps allows
ease of handling and installation whilst
maintaining the structural strength and
robustness of much heavier weight types.
The HES (heavy engineered strap) & LES (light
engineered strap) replace traditional heavy
and light restraint straps in roof and floor
construction.
Reducing the thickness to 1.5mm allows the
HES strap to span over the top of floor joists
and the bottom chords of trusses without the
need for notching.
HES straps are less than 40% of the weight,
quicker to fit, and overcome many fixing problems
associated with traditional heavy straps.
The LES is designed for vertical applications e.g.
holding down wall plates.

Special Applications Coping Stones
Copeclose

This DPC offers excellent performance in areas
of tensile, elongation and tear strength. It
provides horizontal, vertical or stepped DPC’s
including cavity trays in either solid or cavity
walls of brick, block, stone or concrete. It is
manufactured from a mixture of synthetic
polymers, synthetic fibres and other additives.
• Excellent mortar adhesion
• Over 20 years proven use
compressive loads
• Tough and durable with excellent flexibility

Abutment Trays

Abutment trays are used to damp
proof and flash where sloping roofs
abut cavity walls. It is imperative
that every stepped and staggered
gable abutment is constructed to
prevent rainwater and dampness
from penetrating below the
abutting roofline.
The tray is available in both
undressed and lead dressed form.
The tray in the dressed form
combines the functions of cavity
DPC and roof lead flashing. These
are manufactured with two choices
of lead flashing lengths.
Leaded Cavity Trays
Short Lead Flashings

Suitable to dress over the upstand of a secret
gutter or soaker.

Long Lead Flashings

Suitable to be dressed across the roof tile. In
these circumstances, roof tiles must be suitably
‘shaped’ ie: not flat. At a later date when the
roof surface is complete, the plumber has only
to dress the flashings.
Installation
Tray installation is very straightforward and in a
typical brickwork application the bricklayer lays
one tray in every course, following the slope of
the roof. All trays and the projecting lead flashing
are flush-pointed as the masonry is raised.
Thus the usual requirement to rake out joints
and return to point-in flashings at a later date
is eliminated.
Tray Types
There are 4 main types of abutment trays:
Ridge Tray
This unit straddles the ridge. It has open ends
and thus allows water to discharge to the left
or right.
Intermediate Tray
Tray is supplied handed and built-in each
course up the rake of the roof. Each tray has an
end upstand, thus water can only discharge via
the open end into the tray below.
Catchment Tray
This is similar to an intermediate tray, but it has
upstands to both ends. Its function is to receive
water from the intermediate trays above and to
discharge this water through a weep vent.
Internal/External Angles
An angle tray is used instead of a catchment
tray if the abutment ends or returns on a
corner. An angle may also provide a link with
horizontal trays.

Brickwork Protection
Hessian Blankets

Hessian Rolls for frost protection and curing of
concrete and brickwork.
Size
1.37 x 46m
Alti-Fleece

Alti-Fleece has been designed to act as a
barrier against frost, heavy rain and also
strong sunlight which can dry the mortar mix
prematurely. The permeability of the fabric
provides a stabilised climate for optimum
mortar curing conditions.
Alti-Fleece is a lightweight but strong material
that has a central waterproof section and
reinforced edges with slits for tethering. The
material on either side of the central waterproof
section allows air and water vapour to pass
through. The material can be cut across the width
to fit the length of wall requiring protection.
Alti-Fleece is strong enough to withstand wear
and tear typical on building sites.
Features & Benefits
• Unique patented design
• Attractive, purpose made product
• Protects mortar and brickwork against the
elements
• Provides optimum conditions for curing
• Durable and lightweight
• Easy to use
• Tried and tested at CE
Size: 1.5 x 30m

Brick & Concrete Cleaning Material
Adoclean

A specially selected blend of inorganic acids for
the removal of cementitious contaminations
and efflorescence from brickwork. Also for
removal of rust staining from concrete.
The cleaner can be further diluted depending
upon application. In all cases of staining the
cause should be identified.
Sizes: 5 Litres, 25 Litres
Application Instructions:
To remove stains or mortar, thoroughly saturate
the area with water. Apply by brush a 50/50
solution of Adoclean and water, scrub lightly
with a hard brush followed by rinsing off with
water. Heavy mortar deposits may require
repeated applications of Adoclean whilst lightly
wire brushing and rinsing with water.

Chemclean

A specially selected blend of inhibited inorganic
acids, ideal for the removal of all cement based
contamination and rust from a wide range of
surfaces.
Chemclean is ideal for the easy removal of
concrete laitance from plant and equipment.
Rust stains are quickly removed from all
concrete surfaces. Ideal for descaling and rust
removal from metal components. Excellent
for final washing of newly exposed aggregate
panels and ideal for etching concrete prior
to application of subsequent treatments.
Economical to use, can be diluted with water
for many applications.
Concrete Remover

Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is designed exclusively to clean concrete construction
equipment and does not contain any Muriatic, Phosphoric or Citric acids and is therefore
non-corrosive. It is safe to use on painted surfaces, aluminium, glass and rubber. It is safe for
both human handling and for the environment. Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is biologically
degradable and can be discarded in the normal sewage system (EAK 17 09 04).
How it works:
Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover contains active substances that break down the molecules that
bind the cement together with sand and water.
Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is mixed with water to the desired strength and applied as a
foam to the item concerned, using for example, a handheld foamer. The foam should be left to
act on the concrete for 20-45 minutes. Then clean off the item thoroughly with a high-pressure
cleaner or with water and a stiff brush. In cases where there is heavy buildup, the treatment can
be repeated. Since the product is not harmful to the environment, it can be drained directly into
the public sewer system (EWC 17 09 04).
Collectively these extra benefits make for optimum utilisation of time and equipment. It is
financially sound, saving you money as well as preserving your equipment and extending its life.
You can use Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover on hand tools, mixers, scaffolding and aluminium
sections.
